I lived in the UK and I had to pay for air at a service station, not sure I understand why this is considered only a U.S. thing.
What did you do to your Supra today?

Also much worse things going on currently than gas stations when it comes to the United States. Weird flex.

Some places do. You either have to swipe a credit card or insert quarters to get the air pump to work. Whenever I find a gas station with one of these pay to put air in your tires pieces of shit I just roll right out of the parking lot and onto the next station. Fuck them. They will not get one penny of business from me.

Gas station pumps either don't work, cost money or have a ton of condensation buildup.
Most of them are only coin operated. I haven't carried coins with me in 20 years.
It's always a good idea to get it started, once you do, push the middle valve without attaching it to the car to release most of the built up moisture.
I just carry a portable unit that's about the size of an energy drink can and is powered by the 12v outlet on the dash. It's slower, but at least the air is free, readily available and without any moisture buildup.
You can grab one on Amazon for less than $60.

In Australia, there is no such thing as paying for air and water. Ever. Also, we pay for petrol AFTER we have filled up, although more recently some servos do make you pre-pay after 9pm.

Oh yea? Well, on the precipice of tomorrow’s historical relevance here in the states, we have more in common than you might think. You know… the whole genocide by white British colonization.

These go fully inside the plastic pieces, let you lift with something more substantial.I also don't really trust those plastic jack up points, heard some weird creaks from them.
It wouldn't hurt if your jack had a bigger saddle (where it contacts the car).

Did you screwed the support into the panel? is it wood made or plastic made? non wiring under the structure?

Just shut your good eye and put a little Vasoline over the other. Whatever you end up with will be perfect!Seeing how crooked I can get these things before I drill more holes in the car.
