So really I've seen only one MKIV Supra here in Rhode Island before this one. The one I saw before was an unimpressive, beat-up yellow one. This one we noticed when driving after picking up my friends sister. We finally got close enough and I managed to get one pic with my cellphone. It's kinda a cool looking picture too. It was from Illinois so probably won't see it again lol.
Just wondering from anyone else...where you live do you see many MKIV Supras? |

I live in Santa Barbara, a very wealthy town, and I still rarely see them. I've worked Valet for 1.5 years, and i've only seen one come through. I got to drive it and it was ragged out.

I think people have to have a passion for them.. Cuz they have people like us who would die for one and can't afford it.. then you have those with the money but would rather buy a Lexus or Mercedes for the same kinda money..

Here in Toronto, I've seen a couple and Tony the Tiger owns 1 of it. I was at his shop a month ago and I came so close to the car to inspect it. What a wonderful feeling just touching and staring at this beautiful creation.

One time i pulled up to a wingless MKIV in my town. I asked him if it was the TT and he said it was. He also told me that he had a celica when he was younger. The guy was like mid 50's with his wife. She laughed at me when i reved my engine and they sped off down the road.

I parked next to a black one at Portland International Airport about 2 months ago. It was honestly the closest space I could find, and I kind of felt silly parking next to it, it's like parking a tricycle next to a Harley.

you think its bad in the woodlands.... come to Friendswood TX. i went to school with a kid that went through 5 brand new mustangs in 2 years. mommy and daddy just kept pumping them out. I would love to one day afford to buy my daughter a car. but it will be a POS that will get from point A to point B. No one should ever have a nice car for their first car. no one. |

Just wondering from anyone else...where you live do you see many MKIV Supras? is that green or black? I was up in RI visiting my uncle and aunt about a month and a half ago, and saw a green MKIV. In South Kingston. I thought about contacting some of our RI members, but I was only around for 4-5 days. I'm supposed to be going back up that way sometime soon, how far are ya guys (particularly Batman) from S. Kingston/URI? |
