This is my 1997 Toyota Supra. I paid only $14,000 for it. It's basically stock except for the Magnaflow exhaust system. I love it though! It's my first car and yes, I did pay for it myself.

It isn't turbo-charged and it's an automatic. It's still pretty damn fast though and it's handling is amazing! In my opinion, it's one of the best looking cars around. (all STOCK Supras actually are if you ask me)

As for the vehicle's condition, it has a spot where the paint is faded on the driver side door. It's nothing major though. It happened because it was sitting in a dealer parking lot in Texas for 5 and a half months in no shade at all. And in winter, the portable garage kinda collapsed on it causing a gash on the left door. Talk about bad luck! It should be all better though. I plan on getting a paint job at some point. I'm going to make it the same color though. Don't worry, I'm not an idiot.

The sound system is finally better than what it was. It has a Pioneer has a DEH-6300. I am also changing all the speakers... so far I just got the front door speakers. I got some 5-1/4" Rockford Fosgates in. They sound pretty decent so I'm satisfied! I still need some new rear speakers though. I'm also planning on getting a couple of subwoofers. Nothing special since I can't put them in the trunk though (I'd have no where to put the t-top when I take it off if I put a set of woofers back there). I'm planning on getting a woofer under the driver's seat and another one under the passenger's seat.

I ordered some wheels that used to come with the Twin Turbo Supras. Their almost the same design but instead of being 16", they're 17". They're wrapped in some Pirelli P-7000 Super Sports. Here are a couple of pics from good old Caroll park!

I think I may eventually tune the performance a bit more. There's a slim chance I may actually get an twin-turbo engine swapped in for $4,500 including labor but as for appearance, I want to keep it as stock and classy as possible.
