| either A) have lots of sporstcars, possibly including a Z already and so their Supra is an obvious selection to add to a collection B) have an ego that demands they have whatever is perceived as being best, or will get them the most attention in their mind My good friend bought a Supra a couple years ago, '95 BPU turbo targa 5spd 52k miles bla bla. He sold it a year later. After going for a drive in my Z, he repeatedly expressed his regret over the amount of money he spent for it and all the asspain and drawbacks that you never hear over the endless boyracer supra worship mantra. He said had he had the information to have made an informed decision he wouldn't have even considered the supra.
The sportroof sucks, more PITA than it is worth. Plus you only have metal, no glass. Backseats suck, every jerkoff and his ricer buttbuddy want to go for a ride in it, putting you in the position to have to be "that dick who thinks he is better than others because he has a supra and wont let everyone go for rides in it" The interior sucks compared to the Z. Obviously subjective, but it does look modeled after the mitsubishi eclipse dash, cheap IMO. Every boyracer within 100 miles thinks you want to race no matter where you are, what time of day. Sure you can ignore it, but it gets old when you are sitting at a school crossing and for the 2nd time today a tard next to you in a tiburon starts revving his motor. Double the price, same performance. Double the price, debatably better or worse looking. Possibly the biggest lament my friend had, there is no TTnet caliber resource for Supra owners. Prepare to be forced to socialize with and have to stomach all the ricers and boyracers in your very small community as you sift for useful info. No escaping them. While driving my Z, he says "so you paid what? 22-25k for this?" "Sold" I told him, "Let's go get a bill of sale done and notarized before you learn the truth. There's a bank up ahead on the right."
 "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform." --Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." --Winston Churchill
