So you figure you spend a little more to be getting 10's, and tell me my statement doesn't carry some truth to it. Now I'm only stating the comparisson of money spent to go fast, if it was a looks competition the Supra wins it hands down, or even getting laid factor again supra wins it hands down, or long-gevity or parts lasting again the supra.

So you take into account the body work done, the performance mods, spray, wheels and tires they easily spent $35k+, and I can probably guess that parts for that car are not cheap. I really don't really have a problem with supra's I think they are fast, but for the amount of money spent on them to make them fast I can think of a few othe choices before I would go investing in one. I make a simple joke and you guys flame me and turn into captain save a car.
