Was the only damage the hood and probably some fender clips / screws? If so, it could have been much worse. Wheel looks fine, bumper looks fine, etc. Sucks nonetheless though.
The auto vs. manual debate is going to tear this forum up lol. It all started with the BMW vs. Toyota. Moved on to the 3.0 vs the 2.0. Now we've got auto vs stick.
Curious at what we'll be arguing about next year.
Downloaded the game like 3-4 weeks ago. Unfortunately haven't had too much time to play, I've probably got like 10 hours into it. Definitely a fun game. Most fun i've had playing a game since Red Dead Redemption 2.
Not sure where you live, but its been a similar situation here. A week or 2 ago, we had back to back days in the 60-70 range. Then it went back to the 30-40 range. It's just frustrating at this point. I want constant 60+ degree enjoyable days to enjoy the car.
I've come from a few ///M cars prior to the Supra. So while I do see plenty of hate online from the "nice bmw" people... I personally dont see that as an issue. I prefer Euro cars to JDM cars. So people saying its a BMW is a compliment to me. BMW interior > Toyota interior.
I think the Supra...
The STI manual felt rubbery to me and not very direct. I've never driven a WRX, but I have heard some pretty poor remarks.
The F80/F82 manual was pretty decent. Surprisingly, the best manual car I've driven for an extended period of time was a 2006 RSX Type S. I'm gonna remain optimistic that...
Definitely good to have options. The DCT would have been a good option too, but the ZF isn't bad. I just have a personal preference of manuals.
The more choices, the better. Something for everyone. One less thing for the Car YouTubers to complain about on this platform.
Years ago when I bought a 370z brand new, I told the salesman to be sure not to put a front plate on and to not wash the car. I finish up the paperwork, and they bring the car out WASHED and they drilled holes into the bumper for a plate. Needless to say I didn't accept the car.
I would try to...
I dont take my cars out racing. I like having the power that the 3.0 has. I just would love to add the manual transmission to make the drive even more fun for me.
Those who dont like manuals or dont know how to drive them, thats fine. Let us who love them enjoy it while we can.
I had a 2021, sold it at a price I couldn't refuse and bought myself a 2022 at a good price.
Now I might have to trade it in for a 2023 manual. It's the one thing this car lacks for me. Don't care if its not as fast, the engagement and enjoyment from a manual car makes weekend drives that much...
I've had MSS on my BMW before and was a big fan, but i've also heard nothing but positive thinks about the HKS for this platform.
If not too worried about price, have you considered KW V3 coilovers? Those are always my go to.
That was the first thing I did (the wind buffeting) I bought the $10 piece from Amazon and it worked perfectly. Since then, I've installed a duckbill spoiler and may get some springs soon.
I'm in the process of closing on a house in 2 weeks, so the money has been tied up into that for a while...
I've owned a 2021 3.0 Supra, currently have a 2022 3.0 Supra... if the 6spd manual comes out... I may be the first person to own 3 diff model year Supras.
I wouldn't care if its a full second slower in the 1/4. The enjoyment and engagement from a true manual car is what made me fall in love...
Kids like this are gonna give the Supra a bad name. On my Instagram, saw a random video of a kid who's probably 17-20 years old just doing burnout after burnout in his 3.0 Supra.
Parents need to quit buying these kids nice cars.
Not to get off topic, but whats the May 15th event in Chicago? I dont really do social media too much, so I may be out of the loop. Wouldn't mind stopping by.
This would be my answer too. Illinois / Chicago requires a front plate. I haven't ran one on any of my fun cars for the past decade or more. I've maybe gotten 2-3 tickets total in that time. The $50 fine I paid each time is fine for me to not ugly up the front ends.
For the past 7-8 years, I've only used Liqui Moly. Used it on the M3, the M4, and now my Supra. It's always performed great, so I have no reason to switch.
