For the haters:
Aren't these forums supposed to be mostly about modding your cars anyway???? Did I miss something somewhere? Why would you come here to talk about your stock Z all the time....thats pretty boring IMO. I think you guys need to find a way to deal with your jealousy, which is obviously the root of the problem here. The idea that he could have bought this/that for 60k is lame...whoever thinks this doesn't understand what it means to be a car enthusiast. It's a hobby, it's not about going to a dealer, dropping 60k and then being done with it.

:endofrant
Alright, I was not hating on him, just stating a FACT. You could have bought a better car for the amount of money he spent. If you dont believe that, search the market and see what you can get for 60K. I am as much as an enthusiast as him, but would never spend that kind of money on a car. I simply could not justify it economically. And for the jealousy part, thats the stupidest arguement that I have seen. With that same train of thought.... I could point out that he is just bragging that he spent near 60K on his car.

BTW.....I think his car looks real sweet

I heard he was a **** star just like Takao

Come on guys, didn't your mom teach you if you don't have nice things to say, don't say them?

Skid has a sweetest Z in the nation and that's that.

If you don't like guys talking about their mods, cars, I think you may have the wrong website.

I'm every bit a Z fan has he is, I am just curious what he does! [/B]

This is a public internet message board, where people are free to share their opinions. Didn't your mother teach you to respect other people's opinions??

No one in this thread is personally attacking him, so I don't see what the problem is.

Nobody hates or is jealous of anyone. I am happy with my car just the way it is. When parts start wearing out I will replace them with upgraded equipment.

Apparently he CAN justify it. I may never put that much into my car either, but I enjoy modifying almost as much as driving. Sure there are nice 60k cars out there, but if you've got the fever, they wouldn't be stock for long either!

You did all this already? You have been very busy. Sounds like fun. I surely don't have the imagination or the funds... Is this going to be a show car?

Beautiful car, I can't wait to see the latest pics.

As for the haters, I am sure if he wanted to buy a 911 or whatever he would have. As many people have already said, some people enjoy building a car.

Is the oil rig comment sarcastic or true? That's pretty insane if it's true Never heard of anything like that before.

You've never heard of Ellie Mae and Jethro......Just because we don't walk lock step behind what you think is great, doesn't automaticaly make us hate everyone. We just have a difference of opinion. I dont hate anyone especially those I have never met. We need to drop the haters comments because nobody hates him.

I'm curious about it too. There's absolutely no info on it! If Toyota is actually developing one, they are doing a good job of hiding it!

rumors flying around about the Supra being NA with a tricked out V8 engine, probably from some type of Lexus model...
