Gotcha. No, I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. I was thinking here was a car —in name or trim—that went through iterations sort of like the Supra and then was stopped, and now revived after almost 20 years. I just thought it was interesting that another major car manufacturer turns back in time...
Love:
—I don’t lose a rolling race to 99% of V6s; and I hang with or beat about 50% V8s (excluding trucks and SUVs which obviously are smoked)
—The exhaust; stock sound is amazing.
—the thumbs up from other sports cars drivers
—the look
—the handling (I’m finally driving it like a 10-10ths car...
I wanted to get to the bottom (so to speak) of this leather seat issue. A bit of research on the interweb revealed that the wear on the seat at that precise point is directly proportional to the size of the driver’s nutsack.
This makes sense to me: my seat is pristine after 13800 miles since I...
Anybody here belong to the black Supra on 1826 on Sunday (July 5) around noon? I was heading the other way in my black Supra with a 911 behind me; we were heading to Elder Hill Rd to do some driving with a capital D.

Man, when I got mine in Aug 2019, they wouldn’t even let me sit in it till I bought it.
Now, they’re like, “Here’s the key, push her to the limit!”
I can’t speak for everyone, but I carry my Sig Sauer P365 on my person (thus no need to holster your weapon mounted in the car when getting out of the car), and I like to be able to reach for my Korth Mongoose (5.25) on the magnet.
Best kill yesterday: a M550i is next to me at a light. There’s about 1/3 mile before it goes to single lane. He revved, signaling he wanted to go off the line. OK, it’s on. I don’t know if he put it to the floor right off or what, maybe thinking cockily there was no way he was going to get beat...
