Son of a Bitch! I park my classic way the fark out here at the end of the lot, and this dumb-shyte Loooooootus owner has to park his little R/C English piece-of-crap right next to me!

Funny, that's why I call my sedan... a SUV. Sometimes, I say, "truck" or "bus."

Nice Supra. I'm guessing it's a turbo since it has a spoiler? If you're not already on there, you should check out SupraMania.


Here's a pic from my meet with a couple Elises. More pictures here: http://www.swaqvalley.com/images/2007.5.6/

Yep, that's me. Nothing wrong with being a Beaver, I do recall we won the Civil War this year.

The Chrome Orange Elise is kbob from Eugene, the red is Unca_Tim from Vancouver.

Thanks. I stripped it down to a rolling chassis this year and did a complete color change. It used to be a pearl silver metallic. Now it is a 98 Toyota color, Alpine Silver Metallic. It is an NA chassis and I added the spoiler when I painted the car. I also installed new carpeting and trim all the way around. Everything works on the car with the exception of the AC which I do not need in winter and cut off the belt for it. I am planning on doing some crazy sound system in it and swapping out the motor with a 7MGTE next summer if I get the time. I am converting it to leather first though. Thinking of maroon with perfed silver body and a Supra logo on the headrest in silver. It has been my little project for the past few years. It will be a turbo when I am finished. I also added keyless entry and remote start. I might do remote start for the Elise too when my warranty expires. I am doing the cruise control for sure in the Elise because I like to take it on trips.
It drives like a Caddy compared to the Elise but I still like it. Supras are what got me started in sports cars. Never forget your roots. I know about SupraMania but LotusTalk is the only forum I subscribe to.
