Just a general question I'm wondering if anyone has seen an answer to: Why did Toyota decide to lock our ECU's? On one hand, they claimed the fake vents were so the aftermarket could provide ducting to make them functional (BS), but then on the other hand, they lock the ECU after 2020, to keep...

Welcome!

Out of curiosity...what's the weight difference?

So cool to see older dudes still enjoying this stuff (at 45, I'm no spring chicken either, mind you). People have always told me I'm going to lose the love for all my toys as I get older, but it has yet to happen. I'm cool with getting older, God willing. But I don't ever want to lose my...

75, driving a Supra, and surfing Supra forums? Damn, I hope to be like you when/if I get there?

Pretty much exactly my experience: I thought the C8 looked amazing when it was first released. Then after all the old dudes got their hands on it, it lost its appeal in my eyes. It's still a very nice looking car, but it's a very nice old guy car to me. Nothing against old dudes (I pray to get...

I know what you mean. There are potentially faster cars, in the same price range as the Supra...but the other cars just don't "do it" for me. I can appreciate that the C8 is a beast, and it's the most exotic Vette ever, both in looks, and the mid-engine layout. But I simply can't see me in one.

I'm a commitment guy, lol. Traded a car I bought brand new and owned for twelve years, for the Supra. I hope to have the Supra for at least as long as the car I traded in?

What negative things have you heard? I don't recall ever reading/hearing about anyone having serious issues with the JB4.

Based on what I've heard from a lot of other people, your experience isn't the norm.

What negatives are you hearing? I've only seen positive reviews. To answer your question though: For me it's mainly about convenience. I daily my Supra. I don't like the idea of not being able to drive it for weeks/months while someone across the ocean unlocks the ecu.

I think M.I.A.T.A. (Miata Is Always The Answer) is just a little tongue and cheek thing they say to be cute. They know their little car is slow and girly looking. It is fun to drive though. There's something about being able to push a car to its limits without being too worried about wrapping...

Story time! Back when I had my Rx7 and was getting some work done to it, a friend of mine let me borrow his '91 manual Miata while my Rx7 was in the shop. To this day, despite owning an Rx7, a MK5 Supra, and a 3.8 Genesis Coupe R-Spec over the years, I still had a ton of fun driving that slow...

I think you guys are misunderstanding why people like the Miata. It's not because it's a blazing fast quarter-mile slayer. People like the Miata because it's one of the last (mostly) pure sports cars. It's a small, light-weight, two-door coupe/convertible. There really aren't many of those still...

It was in decent condition. Not showroom or anything, but it looked good for a 20 year old car. But my point is the fact that cars can, in fact, increase, or at least hold their value. And it's not a linear thing. My Rx7 slowly lowered in value, then slowly started gaining its value back. $12k...

Ouch. One of the reasons I always park in the back of the lot and just walk far. I guess it can still get hit in the back of the lot, but it just seems less likely.

I have to disagree. I sold my '93 Rx7 a little over a decade ago for $11k, because that's what they were going for then. Now look where the prices are...

I would definitely be interested, but I'm in Florida:(

Sounds like such a Karen thing for the cop to do, lol. What man gets upset about burbles? Most guys enjoy a nice sounding car.

That's the point the doomsayers seem to miss. Low sales don't mean people don't want the car. If the supply isn't there, only so many people can get them.
