I'm sure I'm not the only one that have laughed at the statements people say to you about your car or hear across the way of what people are mumbling. I'm curious what others have heard.


A few of my laughs:

"Is that a kit Supra?" - coming from a boy that was around 14, I give him props for knowing it's a Supra though.

Reving my motor (2jzge) for the little kids at the skate park, kid says "I heard the turbo spool!" Another kid says, "it's not turboed, there's no front mount." I said, not all turboed cars have front mounts, they have side mounts. The other kid looks at me, opens his mouth as if to say something then stomps off in humiliation.

"Is that a Prelude?" No it's a Supra "No it's not" Yup your right, it's a Toyota Prelude. (standing right next to the rear Toyota symbol)

"Dude look at that Celica!" (also Prelude, Accord, Eclipse)

"Is that a V8?"

"It's not turboed cause it doesnt have a front mount, and the door handles and side mirrors are different, the turbo models are different."

"Hey it's a Supra!" (as I drive by) "Dude it's a girl"

3 questions always asked:

1. Is it a Supra ?
2. Is is Turbo ?
3. Is it manual ?

When I reply yes, yes and yes, most of the time peoples also ask, is it legal !

The MKIV is 3L2 red, debadged and got a momo steering wheel, so I was asqued quite often if it's some kind of Ferrari or Lambo, once a guy was sure it was "the new Masserati", Yeah the 93 one Toyota designed in secret for them :-D

"How much did it cost you to swap it to LHD?"
-"I didn't, It was built that way"
"Actually all Supras have to be converted to LHD, once you buy them"
-"Maybe if you import them, but I've never heard that"
"Im sure of it bro, my friends brother told me."

And when I tell people I'm going single turbo, almost everyone tells me thats stupid :lol:.

@ 87supraST ... LOL I have had that one before!! It really never surprises me how ignorant some people are. I have had a few "does it have the 2j in it?" or the routine "my good freinds dads brother had one with a million horse power and out ran the cops before!"

"Why don't you slam it, your ride height is too high!" -> Because I want to pull out of my driveway without visiting the body shop every week......

And of course the single turbo thing comes up all the time because "twin turbos are better". I would be surprised to see a highly modified Supra owner who hasn't gotten that one.

Oh, and I ran into a winner at a gas station a few weeks back who could not believe that my rims are 12.5" wide which are wider than the 9" wide rims he had on his mustang. Forget the "325" printed on my sidewalls, 12.5" rims will not fit on a Supra even if it is a wide body. Brilliant.

Loooooool, I don't even know what u are talking about and I own one lmao.

Guy = what year is your camaro man
me = 68
Guy = Yea, but you know 69 was the best year!

Followed by silence as looked at him like what was the point of you proposing the question if you already new it was a 1st gen camaro and not a 69, since 67 and 68 dont differ much!!

GUY: "It's a pretty nice Nissan Eclipse!"
me: "Well it's neither a Nissan, nor a Mitsubishi, it's a Toyota!"
GUY: "No way man, I know that ride for years, it's a Nissan!"
me: "Wtf are you talking about - its a Toyota and it has always been...!"
GUY: "Ok, but Toyota copied it from Nissan, cuz they built the Eclipse at the same time!"
me: *walked away*
