Every day on my way to work I pass an 88 Supra Turbo (I think, it doesn't have the split grille like my 89, or maybe its a 90) that's not in bad shape cosmeticaly. I've stopped and checked it out a couple of times and the interior is not excellent but good. It's a five speed. Well, lately I've noticed parking tickets piling up on the thing. It got a flat, and now the spare has been on permanently. Then the other day, I see an orange sticker on the window from the Police sayin if this car is not moved soon it will be towed! I am going to leave my number on the car today and ask the guy for a price, but if I don't hear from him I'll take down the plate numbers. Is there any way to track someone down like that if you are a civilian? Also, if it's towed, what happens. Can I go bid on it or something? I know it can be moved, because I've seen it on both sides of the street, but lately the guy doesn't seem to care anymore. I have an 89 N/A and would love to get my hands on this car, even just to canabalize, depending on the shape its in. Any ideas out there in Supra Land. I am practically losing my mind thinking this thing is on its way to the scrap heap. Help!
