Its no secret that Im not the biggest fan of the A80 but the majority that I have ran across were in pretty decent condition. Sure there are riced ones out here and there but lets not make the A80 out to be the new 350Z. Now the RHD A80s were 50/50 lol...

Pretty much every MK4 that I have seen at meets are clean as hell. It's the MK3 that are usually trashed and riced out lol.
Probably because they are so abundant and can be had for relatively cheap that most owners could really care less about taking the proper care and maintenance that is needed for such an old car.

These were taken at the most recent Supra Houston meet.

That’s the way to do it! Bam ?

Top Gear has an episode of the new MKV (back in 2020) and a ton of previous gens showed up at the end looking badass! They were all beautiful ? However, I’ve never seen any in the wild. So it’s mega cool when they can all get together like this.

Curious though, how do you get the guy who pulls up in the Pepto Bismol pink or Barney purple with sparkles, negative 35 degree camber, to not park next to the OEM clean spec ones? To me, that makes it priceless. The untouched look after all those years gone by.

MKIV fanboys: The supra would’ve been so much better if Toyota had designed it themselves

I do love the old supras but let’s be real. Toyota didn’t make anything interesting (LFA excluded) since the 90s and it shows.

I think they said it well, “for the price” - that’s even more key today in ICE cars uncertain future. The MKIV was so badass back in its day. We knew we were going to continue to put gas in our cars, there were other really good contenders to go up against, the market segment wasn’t as squeezed as it is today.

I hope I can hold onto this MKV as long as the MKIV guys have with theirs. I like the BMW esque of the MKV. If I lived in a snow area and needed a 4 wheel drive mobile, that GR Carola is pretty damn cool, as they were saying. Luckily Toyota is a big enough company to hit the buttons for all our different needs & wants. With their GR program, tickles my fancy the most - “for the price” crowd (like me) ?
