Q:
I havn't posted anything in quite a long time because I have been busy with my new job, starting a company, and a ridiculously hard major in college. But any way to the real story. One of my clients is a toyota mechanic and is now quite a good friend. I was telling him that I was interested in buying a new car ( I have 79zx in contruction and a 89 325i bimmer by the way) because I just want something new. So my new buddy says he has a car that I might be interested in, but he wouldn't tell me what it was. He just told me to stop by his house the next day.
So yesterday a pull up and sitting in his driveway is a beautiful blue 95 supra tubro. I am thinking this is his other car but it turns it is the car he wants to sell me. I quickly ask him how much he wants for it. I just about crapped myself when he told me...wait for it.......9k!!!!!!! It is one of my all time favorite cars which I didn't think I could ever get.
So the BMW is for sale and I selling a little bit of stock, it will be mine. I will get pics as soon as possible and sorry for the long post, i'm a little excited.

Nice. I just went to a shop the other day to have my exhaust inspected and the mechanic there was showing me a '92 Supra they had just finished working on. The entire engine was custom done and the car produced 760rwhp. Some guy just paid $8000 in custom engine work on that car. Man was it a beauty. I love seeing shiny polished chrome engines and HUGE turbos in an engine bay.

Yes it will be my christmas present to me, so far the coolest one. It will remain stock for awhile because I have tuition and rent to pay. The guy selling to me said I can get over 400 whp for a couple grand. For me that's more than enough to do something stupid. I really just want to be able to take on my dad's 463hp 475ft 84 covette which I personnally ran a 12.7 at 114 mph... and blew up the tranny.
This guy is my new best friend, he gets all sorts of toyota stuff from japan at cost, including whole cars. He even has a 91 celica all-trac turbo. I live in Arizona by the way and have never see an all-trac turbo and only 2 supra. Right now I feel very blessed.
A:
Where in AZ do you live? I seen a couple of Supras in my area every now and then, plus that one at the shop a few days ago in Tempe..

I live right in between chandler and tempe off mcclintock. So you know how great a deal this supra is, I think lowest I have seen is like 17k with like 130k mile on the car. The one I am getting has 76k on it. The car isn't perfect, there are a couple chips in the paint and a tear in the driver seat. But i'm far from picky, my Z still looks like hell but I love it and drive it as much as I can.
Don't worry though guys I will always be Z car faithful. My Z will now be my track car.
A:
I would take the supra too. Sounds like an awesome deal on a awesome car... what more could you ask for?
paint chips? seat torn? no big deal. I know some guys who could hook you up with a good paint job for cheap when you're ready. In fact, the shop is right down Rural road north of the 202, pretty close by. Its called Exclusive Paint & Body. The owner Tracy is a very cool guy and has done some awesome paint work for super cheap for me. A very reasonable place.

You can't buy a ragged out POS N/A for 9 grand, and even the 1st year they produced them. To be honest, I'd drive it for 6 months and screw that insurance and sell it for 20k.

I don't think I would ever sell the supra, I drove it today and I am still smiling. Actually I have more crazy news. This guys has so many hookups that he can get a right hand drive supra for even cheaper. Now all I need to do is sell bmw.
A:
wouldn't driving a RHD car in the states be a little awkward?

Yup 9 isnt bad at all and them cars get more expensive ever year, so keep in good shape and you could easily double your money if you ever decided to sell it.
