Not really. The engines are torquey and smooth but not really very inspiring. The vehicle is also very heavy and with a long wheel base it is not very tossable. The brakes although good for the era are average by today’s standards. The Supra also has an awkward wheel setup with the chrome 5 spokes that are too small…
Holy crap, you basically killed any argument for this Supra purchase. Oh wait, none of those come in an undesirable green color!
Lol wowzers...a lot of those will be painful to insure and/or get serviced, but that’s a pretty crazy range of good choices.
“Serious question: are these Supras that good in stock form? “
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

How did you fit a CD into a cassette player? Clearly there was some other black magic at work.

Also, clearly we will not, now, ever go to war with China and seeing how so much stuff is made there, is there a point to fear the Reds... NOW? Also, why doesn’t China offer to…
Yeah, it is a shame. Gizmodo was a cool place for tech stories.
I can’t say for sure having a manual has gotten me out of situations, but I can say that being able to slam reverse in a parking lot once got me out of having to file an accident report and wait for my car to get fixed. Some oblivious lady was about to back out of her spot and I pulled in next to her but also noticed…
