    Always Ask!

    One of my friends tipped me off to a rusty Supra sitting in the front of a house. We ended going up there and just so happened the owner was outside and we started talking about the car. I told him I would make him a serious offer on it and after a long pause he said if I wanted it I could have it! I couldn't believe it, I had to ask him several more times how much he wanted for it before it set in. Come to find out he is a old school Japanese car enthusiast and had several more Supras as well as a Datsun 510 race car and a eighty-six corolla. I am really glad that I went up and asked him about the car.

    It has Spacro Crimson rims, Tokico shocks all around with lowering springs,front and rear sway bars, aftermarket speakers, a intake pipe with a HKS filter and best of all it has a good black interior I can swap into my other car!
    It starts and runs, I think I'm just gonna swap the parts over and put it back to stock. It is very rusty though.

    It's always good to ask! Even if it might seem akward to walk up to someones house. I got turned away several times before asking people if they would sell their old cars.

    That is a gold mine for Hawaii, Rusty or Not. I have read many times how hard it is to find Supra parts on Hawaii and you get an entire car... WOW! And just as a matter of Fact I too own an Very Rusty Supra and I am not even surrounded by Salt Water!!

    Yeah I thought I was blessed to find my first Supra but now that I have two I am really too excited. There is only like thirteen registers Celica Supra on the island and I have two that are not. It makes you think about all the other goldmines laying around that are just waiting for an enthusiast to come around and rescue them.

    We just found a black P-Type in the back of my valley. We saw a old man driving it, maybe he will sell it! I feel like hoarding Supras is unhealthy but it feels so good!
