Fun stories/comments/reactions with your A90: Funny things said to you about your Supra

[Quinn]

I got told to replace the b58 with a 2jz, i just laughed and said no

Everytime my brother drives his old IS300 over to work on cars it’s pretty much always the first thing out of his mouth

I had a socially awkward friend of mine explain in detail on how he didn't like the lines of the car and preferred a Lotus. This was before I even made my first payment But he didn't mean any ill will -- not sure he ever really understood why it wasn't cool.

BMW comments. I don't know why anyone really cares. But i usually defer to my usual turn signal joke. Or just say Thanks; seriously, when did owning a bimmer become an insult. Of if they're Mustang drivers, I remind them to be extra careful driving out of the parking lot.

The only “negative” talk I get for my car is the BMW talk. One guy came up to the greeter desk where I worked and saw my wallpaper and was like “nice but it’s just a BMW”. I said yeah & a Toyota. I love it. The interior is much better for it as well. Then he kept with the well it’s just a BMW.
I politely asked “oh, so what car you drive?”
He said “oh, I’m not saying I wouldn’t drive a Supra.”
My response “yeah, I thought so.”

95% of the comments are love. The hate seems to come from people who can’t afford a sports car or their spouses won’t let them.

Same people that complained it was a BMW to begin with and weren’t putting money up to buy one either way, so their opinions are null and void.

Had a bunch of Porsche guys come by in the paddock and ask what is in that thing when I passed a string of 3 of them that didn’t want to give a point by

Should have replied "driver skill" lol. Honestly, the Porsche guys rub me the wrong way. I've had a few similar or even more derogatory phrases from them. Like to them, it's INCONCEIVABLE that a car is faster than a Porsche.

My friends tell me "you can go both JDM and Bimmer car meet"

I've gotten stopped by a several older gentleman in parking lots. They asked what the car was, and when I told him it was a Supra, they reminisced about when they bought their son to Mk 3 Supra, and he ended up crashing it etc etc.
Other than that, just general thumbs up from people, mainly guys in lifted 4runners and Tacoma's and such.

I get positive comments / looks all the time. Little kids love the car. I'm one of two Nitro's in my neck of the woods, and there's a black one local as well (though I never see them around at all).

Yesterday I was out for a cruise, and I had a young teen in a Cruze whip out his phone and record me as I was passing the car he was in. Later that day, after running her through the car wash, I had a guy in a CR-V roll up beside me, give me a thumbs up + big shit eating grin before he turned off.

That said, I've also had young guys, highschoolers, ask for rides, which is very disconcerting. I understand they're excited about the car, but it's still a sketchy thing to do and I told both guys no. At 15-17 y/o, there's no way I'm asking a stranger for a ride in their nice vehicle, my mom taught me better than that, lol.

Shit, show me a girl who rocks a Supra as a daily and that's wife material right there.

Supra for the wifey, and a GTR / P-car for the hubby?

Haven't really got any looks so far. I had one older gentleman see Supra written on the back and he started saying how he liked the MKIII back in the day. I had another guy say "nice little car..." still not sure if that was intended to be an insult or not. I think maybe it makes other people drive more aggressively around me? That's the only thing I've started to notice compared to when I drive my other car...can only imagine how bad that would have been if I went C8 instead.

New to group finally got my 2023 Supra after waiting 2 years to find one that wasn't already bought. I had the same issue with my 2022 BRZ I can only imagine how it will be with the Supra based one everyone's comments I've seen. I kind of find it funny when someone takes off at the Stop light on me. In my head I'm like " do you feel proud" lol. I barely bought my Supra yesterday still in break in period. By the time I left the dealership was to late to get good pics.

I’ve never understood how owning a car that appeals to the opposite sex is a bad thing. Isn’t that what a vast majority of petrol heads are trying to accomplish?
