I have been a member for a short while but didn't really introduce myself. I now have pictures I took over the Memorial Day weekend and I'd like to post them with another introduction.
My name is Darren and I moved to the States from Canada (Toronto). My love for the Supra started with the Celica when I was a kid in Guyana where I'm from. My dad's friend had a 74 Celica. When the Supra debut in 86.5, I was in Toronto and when I saw it, I fell in love with it even more. I finally saved up enough money for a down payment when I got a good break in my career. I was laid off from Women's College Hospital and funny thing, the next day, a head hunter called me to go work for the Government of Canada as a consultant (contractor) and the position paid twice what I was making before. This break allowed me to afford a car payment.
So, now I started shopping for a Supra. I looked at used ones first. Then my friends tried to convince me to look at other cars as well. I test drove the Probe, the 300ZX and the 240SX.
On a trip to Montreal, we saw a Supra, a 300ZX and a Probe parked in a line beside the road and that did it for me. I went to Graham Lexus Toyota in Ottawa in the fall of 92 and test drove a 92T, all white package and they were asking $42k. I didn't buy it. Then in February 93, I saw the identical Supra at Scarborough Lexus Toyota in Toronto. I went in there and test drove it and got it for 32K.
Then I moved to the US and brought it with me and have had it since. The Saturday I picked it up, I bought a bra and the next week, I took it to have an alarm installed.....get this, it cost me $550. (cdn) to have it installed.
So, here are some pics I took.
