Angry Supra's are street race magnents.

Never...in my 19 years of driving have I had more people try to race me in one night then I did tonight. And all I was doing was taking my Nephew for a ride. None of my other cars ever elicited the type of response from other drivers that this Supra does.

Let me borrow your Supra so I can experience your situation.

So all of the work that has/was done on all of your cars.. Have you done any of it or have you bought all of it?

And that has to do with this thread how?

And why does it matter?

It has nothing at all to do with this thread...but I'll answer anyway:

I've previously built a '66 Chevelle, '86 CJ Wrangler, '98 Toyota T-100, '99 TJ Wrangler, 2003 Mach 1 and spent over $40k in mods and two years of work on my 2003 M3. You know how much mod money I got back when I sold those cars? Zilch.

Now I'm a lot smarter. I buy cars that already have the majority of mods I want in the first place.

Winner. Some people say that buying a previously modded car = buying someone else's problem or you don't know if everything was installed properly. All it takes is a little bit of research and you can find out whether or not the car will be a problem and the everything is proper, so it's really no excuse.

Buying modded cars = saved money.

You're a smart man, Ritz. Research is everything.

I got nothing against people buying already modded/built cars, unlike some people on here..

However, from a Technician's point of view, a nice, built car, built by you, gives it just that much more respect..

Again, nothing against you or anyone else who buys "built" cars, just my opinion..

And sorry for the flame war I most likely just cause, but its Drag.. What can I say?
