I didnt think the car would get all the attention it did last night...

My belt was splitting on my Jimmy so my best friend and I buzzed over to parts store in the Supra... It was her first run out with the upgrades... I pulled into
the lot and people kept looking all over the car. I ran into a guy that is trying to work on his supra who was impressed with the Tanabe exhaust... I think some vendors here <chough freaks> <cough one and gone> should be getting some business....

I cant believe in this day people still havent found the internet for parts... Its insane... I was writing down sites and numbers for a bunch of people (even the folks working at the parts store)... That lower ic pipe was VERY popular...

I enjoyed talking to the folks BUT I had to change my belt in the dark after running my mouth so much....

I guess Im not the only person who loves the lines of a mark III

Heh - interesting how much difference 20 miles makes.......no one pays attention to my car until I blow past them at full boost.

i got my car back, drove it for about 10 mins down the road to a gas station, poped the hood to look at it and enjoy it some. Next thing i know i had 5 or 6 people standing behind me, looking over my shoulder. It was a nice feeling

My car isn;t even done, and evryone I talk to forst asks me how my car is coming along. There has been people I've only talked to once and then I see them a month later and their asking about the car. I can't wait to get it back from paint to reassmble everything and start driving it.

I remember one time I drove thru a Best Buy parking lot and had a bunch of people run into the street after i passed them pointing at my supra. I always had people staring at it from their car while i was driving it around.

yeah I did that too...but I didn't have a hood on to pop.....Kind of a tradition when my friend and I do engine swaps to take it around the block without the hood first. :naughty:

I havent boosted the car yet... (well maybe 2-4 pounds max) hell I havent even fully broken in the BOV...

I LOVE the look of the Tanabe but its possible there is a fitment issue..

i always have people come up and ask me how the supra is coming and when im telling them, it always seems like there is some dumbestic person that has to chime in with something negative towards Toyota or for the fact of foreign. They throw the comments of they can beat a toyota any day of the week but when i mention throwing pinks up they seem to not want to race anymore.......

Just tell them GM and Toyota, have a partnership with each other,
then when they say "no they don't" tell them the cavileir is badged under toyota in Japan.
that will shut them up, or they will just go on rambleing.
