    Anyone still get excited when they see a Supra, even though you own one?

    Yesterday I was cruising down the freeway and saw a very clean white supra, stock body with stock wing lowered on some nice wheels.
    I got really excited and sped up to check it out. I was thinking about how cool it looked, and how much it stuck out compared to all the other cars on the freeway.

    My friend sitting next to me laughed about me being so into it, since I have my own at home. I couldn't really explain myself, I just love the look and get excited seeing them since they are not so common on the roads anymore.

    There is one red NA car that I see every month or so, it is daily driven by an older woman, the thing must have well over 200k on it. Everyone in my area commutes down the same long windy road that take 40 minutes to get through, and I see her on it now and then. Even that worn out NA car with yellowed worn out headlights still breaks my neck when it flys by. I just love these cars and could never part with mine.

    I really want to get a second Supra, all stock with stock wheels just for nostalgia and to put a smile on my face when I walk into the garage.

    It's ok I guess...I'm sure most of us have done that at some point. I normally go nuts for Porsche's

    I like Porsches, but in one of the more affluent areas near me, you literally see a Porsche on every single street corner. I left my cousin's wedding reception and saw one or two parked on every single block while leaving, not kidding. Mostly 911 carreras, some boxsters and caymens, and a few turbos. I counted 11 of them in a 5 minute drive on the way to the freeway.

    I still shout out Supra, and try to point if someone is sitting next to me; lol. It is a good feeling to see one on the road.

    I enjoy seeing clean supras out there. I hate seeing the ragged out MKIIIs in the area though.

    HAHAHA... ya ^^^^this is me... Even if its a kinda jacked up supra. Still i'm like "SUPRA!" saw a white one just the other day with molded bomex sides but NO front lip or aftermarket bumper, just stock without lip and stock rear. Tanabe exhaust and horrible blue airbrushed flames on all of his molding. i wanted to save it, but i was still excited to see a supra. I just wish i wasnt the only clean supra around.. haha

    A week ago I saw a Ren Red MKIV Supra with a turbo wing ahead of my truck and I yelled Supra and pointed my buddy jumped in his seat, lol. I got up to it and it was an old guy... really old... 60 or 70's... like I said really old. The thing looked stock and looked to have chrome turbo 17in wheels on it. I should have followed him but I had things to do.

    Supras always draw my attention and make me want to reach out to see who it is.

    Maybe it's because I don't really notice most Chevy cars but around here I get the impression there are more Porsches than Chevies. I also see a lot more Ferraris, Lambos and other exotics than Supras.

    I break my neck if I see a supra. I always wanna catch up to the driver but its always when Im not driving my supra so then I feel like thats kinda stalkish and remember how annoying it is when people do that to me.

    Care deeply. Speak kindly.

    I break my neck every single time, I went to banff for the weekend with friends.
    was walking down the street and heard a familiar noise from across the street. turned around and saw a really clean supra. Lowered, black rims, trd wing.Almost had a panic attack because of how many times a yelled "SUPRA". I ran all the way over there just to get a better look. My friend just stood there, looked at me and went " dude don't you have one at home?" . Couldn't really reply cuz I couldn't explain it

    Of course. How often do you really encounter one outside of a meet? Rarely, if ever.
