Just a life update for those who know me or those who don't and just like reading about other people.

I'm not getting rid of my 87, just putting her in long term storage to restore at a later date. It's been a long strange trip with the Supra and I've enjoyed every minute of boosting down the open highway and strangely every minute of climbing underneath to fix her latest ailment.

Since I won't be driving her for a good long while I won't be on SF or SM as much as I used to be.

Long story short the Supra just isn't as practical of a year round car now that I've moved back north. She didn't do too badly with a set of snow tires but I'd rather not turn her into a rust bucket driving her in the snow. I'm hoping that it doesn't take too long to get the Supra back on the road but I'm freshly remarried and building our life together comes first. The Supra is still first and foremost my 'dream car' and will not be left under a tarp to rot. In the coming weeks she will be prepped for storage and will have a nice cozy garage spot in my father in laws 'pole barn' next to his project 60's land yacht Imperial convertible (according to the rest of the family he must really like me to allow a Toyota in there).

If anyone needs to get in touch for whatever reason PM will trigger an email and I'll give you my phone and email via PM if you want them.


So without further ado here's a couple snaps I got of the first new off the lot car I've ever owned.

It's a 2013 Dodge Dart GT 6spd manual with the 9 speaker Alpine system and hyper black 18s. It can never replace the Supra but it is decently sporty with a fairly stiff suspension. I buy a car for life and wanted something FWD and sporty that I can drive year round and 4 doors since the Supra will always be my 2 door.

Thank you all for all your support over the years and I hope to be back real soon.
