You know you're a Supra owner when...

Haha what a pos I would never buy that if it had that written on it hahaha

I would like to introduce my "supra rope". It was the replacement for my "supra stick" which broke, and was used for 2 months (give or take a several weeks) while waiting for my replacement struts to come from the states.

Unfortunately this is the last photo of the rope taken before it disappeared.

Hey, I like it! One less thing in your way when you're working on the car I figure.

You see this and your the only one who laughs...

Ever seen "Better Home & Garden" magazine? I seem to remember their website was something like bhg.com...

.....its been on jack stands so long you think its a truck when you climb into it

and there in lies the history behind the rope. As the strut worked on the left hand side (or passengers side ) my supra stick needed to be on the right hand side, which is where you are always working.

After using the rope for so long I was in a state of euphoria everytime I popped the hood & didnt have to pull the bonnet up like a one man powered draw bridge when the monroe bonnet struts were installed. Those things are seriously better than most people suspension.

Ouch! I think I'd be looking for a different wife.

Also, if you're on your 5th Supra in 6 years...

 

[Bleakvoid]

...when you realize that even though you wrecked the hell out of it and it's been down for almost a year, and it *still* has a clean title.

Resilient little bastards, aren't they?

My wife was gracious enough to keep quiet when I owned 5 MKIII's at once earlier this year and last.. lol. So.. she gets props for that..

 

[te72]

Haha, fair enough Grandavi, if she can tolerate that kind of insanity, I'd say she's a keeper.

Might be a Supra owner if your girlfriend/wife is planning on getting her own once her current car is paid off and she has money available...

...when you dream about your IS300 blowing a head gasket. Vivid dream complete with white smoke and steam coming out from under the hood and a pegged-out temp gauge.

These cars have me paranoid of ALL cars blowing head gaskets and getting rods-a-knocking. :nono:

...when you definitely don't have a rod knock, have absolutely no sounds coming from the motor that would lead you to believe there is a rod knock, but you still hear a fucking rod knock at that magic rpm range.

 

[BoostMonger]

You know your a supra owner when you have the biggest love/hate relationship with your car

You know, DSM owners have that too.

...when you definitely don't have a rod knock, have absolutely no sounds coming from the motor that would lead you to believe there is a rod knock, but you still hear a fucking rod knock at that magic rpm range.

Two years after the fact, every little exhaust leak or odd sound, makes me worry subconsciously...


You might be a Supra owner if you have more parts/wheels/tires than cars to put them on.

Aye to that!

 

[honestabe]

... When 2 of your friends aren't allowed to buy Supra's because their girlfriends don't want them to be like you and spend all their time/money working on the Supra.

... When your wife puts you on a budget for spending on your Supra

LOL!! I've had mine about a week and she's driven it a handful of times and is asking if I could find another so she could have this one

See, this is an example of a "good" girlfriend.

... When 2 of your friends aren't allowed to buy Supra's because their girlfriends don't want them to be like you and spend all their time/money working on the Supra.

... When your wife puts you on a budget for spending on your Supra

...and this is an example of both a mean-spirited girlfriend (your two friends), and a smart wife in your case.

...your 8-year old son can recognize another Supra on the road and gets as excited as you do!

OR

...your 8 yr. old loves it when the lights pop up and you play with them b/c you think it's cool too!

 

[Grandavi]

lol.. have you ever flashed the brights? (with the headlights down). They blink up and down quickly ...
