Supra is rattling like crazy when I rev near 3k RPM

there is no way you have rod knock. like what was said above that shit does not come and go.
on the night it happened to me i went out to a party and had been blowing off regular oil checks because i was new to owning a supra (used to mini truck 4x4's that just take abuse). on my way home i sorta drove the car a little hard. nothing crazy. then the next day i started it up. drove only about a block or two at light throttle just puttin and heard this tat, tat, tat right at 2500-3000 then it was gone past that range. i turned around right away to find out it was 2 quarts low on oil. from that day on it got worse and worse. never went away. at first i only heard it at light throttle in that range. i only had the car for a little over a month and paid $3900 for it. i decided i would drive the thing to the ground and just replace the motor. i got three months of daily driving, drag racing, and what not. good times. :biglaugh:
my advise. drive it to the ground and do a motor swap. but try to take care of it in the mean time. its just your first motor. there will be many more to come. LOL. thats how i did it. who knows. yours might go for a year or two before she blows.
edit: oh and flant the car around you dad as much as possible. and never ever ever ever ever let him touch your keys again either.
and tell him to FUCK OFF.

Your dad sounds like a douchebag. Why would he be pissed if its your car/keys?
If its not making the sound now all you can do is drive it and wait and see if it happens again. Just keep a close eye on things for a few weeks, if nothing comes back, chalk it up to an anomally. I would guess that something will become obvious in the next few weeks though.
