Umm...yeah...I wasn't expecting that edit...

*sigh*my craazy ideas!

Sorry but before I started messing around with mine I did 33 trips to Sydney in one year (1800 km round trip) and it NEVER let me down!

Even with all of the abuse since I started modding it's always made it home under it's own power barring 1 occasion when an ECU plug dislodged!

We're talking even with a hole punched through a piston and the HG blown between every cylinder it made the 50 km trip home and into the shed!

After detonating #1 cylinder and losing the better part of a valve, I drove my Supra from TX2K2 (Houston, TX) back to Atlanta, GA on 5 cylinders.

My two primary near daily driver Supras (a MKIII & a MKIV) both have over 150,000 miles on them and they start right up.

Like I've said before, the problem 99.9999% of the time is the owner, not the car...

Well... I have done my absolute best to maintain this car...The previous owner didn't take care of it at all and cut/spliced all kinds of wires, which even contributed to a fire a couple of months ago...:nono:

It was reliable for the first two weeks, until the starter went out...then I had a BHG on the first freeway trip ever...not to mention it didn't even start when I bought it...so...yea.

I just got kinda frustrated, and thought that this post would be funny...thinking that everyone here could relate in some way...apparently I was wrong.
