Meanwhile, I’m not happy with all the turbo cars lacking huge 1980's-style turbo badges and/or graphics.

Seriously. I keep planting them hoping they grow into Supra trees and bear fruit.

Only the 70-series Supra had a 1JZ, and those usually sell in the high teens, when you can find one that has been imported.

It’s like playing the classic car game on easy.

I had to look up BSOD, and fortunately(?), it’s way less kinky than I expected.

In LA, whenever you hear a horn honking, it’s fun to start trying to spot the black luxury crossover with New York plates that is without exception, the source of the honking.

Ah, yes, simple. There is of course already a German word specifically for this.

Not true. The diesels can be registered pretty easily if they already have an out of state title. The gas-engined ones can be brought into compliance through a CARB-certified conversion shop, but it’s pricey.

There actually seems to be quite of few of these registered in California with the diesel exemption. There are two Delicas parked down the street from the house my wife and I are trying to buy, and I’ve come across people using California registered diesel Delicas and HiAces as camper vans.

You know I’m right..

Yes, your 89 was 3H4, Medium red pearl.

I’ll be amazed if anything remotely cool comes to the US however. They still seem going all in on crossovers for people with bad credit.

You obviously have no idea about the things I would do to daily a HiJet.

..you know, if gold mines could overheat and blow headgaskets.

Same. With four of these, I’m sitting on a gold mine.

I’ve been keeping my eyes on the A70 market for decades. The real appreciation happened when Toyota Japan announced they would start building repair and restoration parts for this generation Supra again. I saw the values on these double over the course of a 5 months.

As someone who collects and restores A70 Supras, I’d say it’s actually only overpriced by about $5k, and that’s only because condition (and the fact it’s missing its 91-92 5-spokes). True koukis (‘91-’92) are extremely rare, with only 4,816 built over two years. This one is a turbo manual, putting it at the top of the…

Prepares to start browsing Duncan Imports website in oh, say, approximately 25 years.

Smaug, listen to me. The 405N is going to be totally jammed this time of day. You need to exit Wilshire East, then take that to the Sinai temple where you’ll turn left onto Beverly Glen. Then take that up through the canyon on to Mulholland, but make sure you turn right at the Bel Air Association, because if you go…
