My commute is 40 miles each way. So far the Supra has been perfect for it. Helps that I came from a Miata though. That car definitely beat me up too much by comparison. I can’t stand Teslas, but that’s more of an emotional response to not wanting all cars to be soulless appliances. Doesn’t help...

Nice job on the video! Appreciate the comparison.

Wait. People in California put plates on their cars? I thought everyone drove around with temp tags for the entirety of the ownership?? 😜 Car looks great OP. Good luck with the sale.

^truth I picked up a huge screw in my right rear a couple months ago because I'm still on the OEM oil fill.

I put two coats of Gyeon Mohs on mine. Just be sure to do a thorough decontamination (iron remover, clay bar) and paint correction, and you'll be good to go. I used Sonax perfect finish with rupes yellow pads this last time and got great results.

I finally saw a new Z in person a couple weeks ago. I’m usually a fan of simple designs, but man did I not like this one. The exterior looks unfinished to my eye. I expected to at least like the rear end (I think it looks great in photos), but in person it looked like a cheap knockoff of a Z32...

I would think it'd look pretty rough with touch up paint if you didn't first smooth out the surface. I'd try that first and see what it looks like.

Those pieces aren't painted. Just bare plastic. Material from the curb is probably making it look so light. If sanding/polishing doesn't make it look satisfactory the part itself isn't super expensive.

A little over two hours done poorly. Needed longer but I didn’t have time.

I wrapped the whole front of my car in temporary PPF for the 500+ mile drive home. A little cleanup involved after the fact, but zero rock chips...

nibble might be thinking paint correction means touchup work, which technically it could include I suppose. Interestingly PPF itself has a "cure" time of sorts. Usually at least a week before you wash it. Which means a week before any coating should happen (unless you coat unwashed cars like a...

Here's my not performance oriented 18" square setup with 245/45 Michelin CrossClimates to keep me tire side down when driving in the winter. Wheels are Konig Heliogram in 18x8.5 et 32. I actually dig the way they look, and they're pretty lightweight too (18.5 lbs). Also running 10/13mm spacers...

I developed a really annoying rattle in my dead pedal after going over some super shitty roads yesterday. Haven't had a chance to pull it apart to look for the source. If I apply enough pressure to it the rattling stops completely.

I’m a couple years out from my 30 year mark of driving too. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t sometimes wonder if the MT Supra would have been more fun. However, those thoughts never enter my mind when I’m stuck in stop and go traffic for the majority of my 40 mile commute. I also really enjoy the...

I think we just turned this poor guys intro thread into a break-in debate thread. Maybe we can blend in some oil thread goodness while we’re at it.

Cool :rolleyes: I specifically referenced loud pops from aftermarket exhausts, because it's the significant increase in volume and frequency that I don't care for. I don't always love the pure stock pops, but it also doesn't bother me.

More power to those that dig the loud pops and bangs that come along with an aftermarket exhaust with the stock tune. I personally can't stand it. To the point where I've stopped looking at exhausts until I decide if I'm going to go through the hassle of unlocking and removing the burble tune.

Accident was in NJ. Driver walked away. Cause of accident was incorrect engine oil weight.
