    Noob to Supras...

    I'm a noob to Supras, but not Toyotas. My first car was an 86 n/a MR2 with 76k original miles, I sold that to buy an 85 n/a hardtop, blew the engine in that, bought a 95 Celica GT, sold that to my dad to pay rent (with a rebuilt 5S-FE), and then was given a 93 Mercury Sable. I came across this...
