A friend and I were changing my shift boot and e-brake boot today, and when we took the dash piece out we found a mint. It was a "scripture mint" to be more precise. Along with finding the mint, I found multiple church related parts on or in my car. I have a jesus badge on the back, and found church business cards when I cleaned out the back. Maybe a holy supra?

It is strange that I find all of these christian related parts on my supra, condsidering the mk4 in the city next to mine has been spotted pulling into church a few times and we believe him to be a preist/pastor/father.

perhaps god drives a supra too?

I was thinking about how "back in the day" the Supra was quite a fancy upscale car to have. Doesnt seem right if a clergyman is vowing poverty to be driving one.

However, nowadays, thats the sole explanation of driving one :biglaugh:

I was running my 10awg wire for my mkiv fuel pump this weekend.
I pulled out the back seat cushion and found a full .45cal magazine under it, no pistol though.

I lost my screwdriver over the bellhouse/transmission when I tried to poke out my stuck wrench from the EGR cooler after I tightend it. :icon_surp

Whenever I drive I can smell melted plastic. :icon_surp

When me and my friend were restoring my 89 mk3 we found a 9mm bullet, and a pen, with "Federal Bureau of Investigations" on the side of it, in the passenger door. o_O

I think it was pretty definitive what the first owner of the car did for a living... lol

Under seat/carpet: Bananna peel, jellybeans, crayons from the 80's, pencil, sunflower seeds, little league receipt for kids uniforms, 9-11 "we will remember" pin, Dior cologne bottle.

Sounds like a very busy father with kids was in my supras life:)

school of goldfish and a few lollipops under the back seats when I redid my interior, I'm guessing this was from the first owner who had children. When I bought it from the second owner (me being the 3rd owner and first car :icon_bigg) I found an empty box of condoms as well as the directions in the arm rest compartment on the way home from buying the car with my dad driving. That was an awkward moment :3d_frown:. No wonder the second owner was going through a divorce at the time haha.

I was out in a field where we had found an 83 celica supra abandoned. A buddy of mines dad owned the field and we were going to tow the car back to my house. I poped the hood and there was a snake laying in the spark plug galley of the 5m that was in it. It was probley 3 feet long. I freaked out because i'm deathly afraid of snakes and hauled ass out of there. My buddy stuck around and tried to pick the snake up. I told him he was insane afterwards.
