Trying to setup a test drive to see if I like it. I just can’t get over the styling. Fake vents all over like a hot wheels car.
I love the way the Supra looks but it seems to be quite polarizing, many dislike it.
Especially in yellow

I saw this and thought of Cale. Not sure about the blown Northstar though.
They're actually reliable. I want one, but I don't think I could take one over an E55 benzo
It has too many miles to covet, but I assume it will sell at a fair discount to an E55

I am mixed on the fakera. It looks decent imo, but I can't get past the fact that its just a shitty M2 that you can't special order to your liking and still costs almost the same amount, while getting last generations tech and engines.

I am impressed it went nearly 150k miles without blowing a HG.

I would LOVE a 640i with a manual, but I don't know if the B58 gen ever got a manual

640i is a sweet ride. That and the A7 are absolutely incredible looking vehicles.
