Toyota Supra
| | Model of the car: | Toyota Supra | | | General comments: | I purchased my first supra when I turned 17 for $1900. It was a slightly beat up 87 N | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Likes to Overheat.

I've driven half a dozen supra's from all years, and am in a supra club. I've gotten behind the wheel of a few mustangs, camaros, a firebird, and a Corvette. I must say I'll stick with my supra.
