    Haven't introduced myself yet

    Hey my name is Ben, I'm 18 and I'm from Denver, CO. I bought my first Supra, a red 87 Turbo, back in January. It has just over 107,000 miles and was in pretty good shape when I got it, it runs great and the body is straight. I'll post some pics soon. It has some mods from the previous owner...
