Very true

Yeah, mine got appraised for 6k, but if I had been a member here earlier, I would have bought Mr. Nickle eye's or the 1985 one that is in immaculate shape. However.. having said all that, you got a great car, something actually worthwhile putting money into for upkeep unlike a Ford Taurus or something silly : )

I also know that when I was 17, I drove a 72 Corolla.. and I drove it hard. If I had a Supra at that point in my life... not sure I would have survived... (my brain was very tiny back then) You got a great car, keep treating it how you plan and you should be very happy.

Its also a brand new paint job so i offered him six because the rims on the right side are rashed, i also brought up the BHG problem that will have to be dealt with soon (30,000km to go but still). He took it and its now sitting in front of my house. I laughed when i resised that the cars older than me, and in five years i'll be able to put collector plates on it LOL. I want to get a value on it, i kinda think i paid about a grand to much but watever your'll never see another 17 year old kid driving a supra like this to school.

I did lol, and I got plenty of looks. Thrown a lot of leg because of this car.... Keep the oil changed, and the coolant levels right. Learned the hard way....
