Does anybody fell to attached or bonded to your own celica supra. Even tho its a machine on wheels. When you stare at your ride, and think how awesome it is, the driving, the power, the look. Even you put all the time and money in to it(engine, tuning, mods, speakers, new parts). How do you fell about your car!

as much as I dont want to admit it, I am. My girlfriend points it out all the time, like when she looks at the new pictures I took with my camera, or the desktop background, or all my screennames/passwords.
These cars are a disease

My 81 caused me troubles with girls from the get go. First when I was a teen and didn't let my girlfriend at the time drive it when she was 16. She got pissed and things were never the same. Fast forward to my 21 year old girlfriend that drove it to work one day and tore second gear out of it! Big time fight over that and the last time I loaned it to her. After that when we would fight she would take it out on my car by putting a knee in the door or almost breaking the wiper switch and key. Then came the 25 year old blonde that thought she was too good to ride in my old Supra. After a long talk about it we broke up. Then there was a 19 year old in NC I dated. I had to drive 50 mins just to pick her up because she didn't have a car. My Supra got hit by an idiot driver close to her house. I got so pissed off I went ahead and did something I needed to do and broke up with her. Now my wife complains I take too many pictures of it, spend too much money on it, stay in the shop with it too long. I remind her of what happened to the other women who tried to get between us! She quietens.
No matter how bad my day is when ever i get behind the wheel of mine and turn on the techno my day is a 100 times better because of my supra. Even though it dose piss me off some times with its little break downs like hoses blowing and stuff. I still love it to death.
My username defines me well. A maniac about mk2's and will probably forever be stuck in the 80's... After over 15 years of celica and celica/supra love, I will probably be getting a tatoo to symbolize my sickness....will be some sort of tricked out dragon from our cars.
Anyway, yes, its a sickness. It's something that stirs your blood and ignites your adrenaline just by looking at it a certain way or at the right angle. Add lots of HP (the way Toyota should have built them) and it's a crack I have realized I will never get off of. It's a piece of the maniacs "wonder years" , teens, twenties, and still going strong into my 30's.
Oh what a feeling!
(yes I need counseling)

My first supra was purchased by my then girlfriend at 17. When I met my current girlfriend I took her to my mechanics while work was being done on my supra and she waited for like 3hrs(one of our first dates) I've owned 4 supra's while with her and she's buying my rear whiteline swaybar for my bday.she's with it.......nuff said.
i would like to add that i spent all day on the pc looking 4 parts and on cs.com this is an addiction and 4 those who dont feel that way really dont love the car.
i have 3 supras and a celica gts and this is within the past 11 months... bought my first one not knowing anything about em. then found this site and my addiction grew. bought the first one on valentines day believe it or not... had no girlfriend so i bought myself one. this one is just as tempermental as the one i have now. lol. jk.
but my girlfriend understands my addiction and Pooods, after reading your post, i understand why you said in that other thread why my gf was definitely a keeper. i see what you have gone through.
i just wish i had more money to fix them up the way they deserve to be fixed and the way i want them to be and had a decent shop to work in....

i am pretty much addicted. i look for them everywhere in movies on the road in pictures in toys hell i collect pretty much anything with supra written on it lol, i love my car alot, its in pieces getting re-built and ive sat there for iver an hour staring at it, imagining it when she is done, my girlfriend is addicted too, she bought me my new motor and other parts for it. she cant drive 5 speed but likes to sit in it and imagine hahaha, she rather it then her saturn anyday she said, and all my friends even my dad wont drive it since they are scared to ruin anything cause they think i would kill them ahahaha,
Mine has been undrivable for about 2 weeks now i have been driving an 05 turbo baja fully loaded and im dieing to drive my baby once again. The baja has every amenity you could imagine im dying to drive my supra just back an forth to work again. Theres a bond if your a true owner no matter the degree i hate parking mine any where including home. I hate when i go away on trips and leave her locked up in a parking garge parked near some new porsche. The owner of said porsche even loves my baby i left about an hour late for a long trip talkin about the one he use to own.
Let's just say that my Older brother has never driven her. He's 32. Even though I've got his Celica in my possession. I cringe when anyone but me drives her more than a couple feet. I talk about her all the time to where people think I'm obsessed. I am. I almost got offended when I met my girlfriend and she said the Supra was Cute. It's not cute, it's Bad Ass! My neighbors think I'm crazy for washing her when it's near freezing outside. It's not crazy, that's just dedication. I let her stretch her legs as much as possible. I nearly got into a fight when I was at school in the shop and another student had his foot on her bumper. I see Supras all the time, even when they're not there. Even when they really are there, I don't care as much unless they're 25 years old or older. Like Moonpie33 says, anything newer is just a donor car. lol
my wife told me yesterday she's tired of feeling like she's second behind my supra. I can't help it, the Supra doesn't bitch, The Supra appreaciates the money you put into it loong after you spend, The supra looks bad ass, and The Supra excites me in an addictive way each time I get new bad ass parts. I told my wife she is number 1 which she is along with the children, but Supra is right behind them!!!! :mk2_vroom
I can be chillin, blank minded and when My Supra pops into my mind, it races full of energy. I love my Supra, my wife calls it the bitch. I talk about it constantly

My girls knows I love my car, and respects that very well. I told her I thought about selling it to fund buying a truck and just get another one, and she flat out told me to stop lying to myself. She was definitely right, no way it's going anywhere.
I love this car more than the 84 Celica ST coupe that first got me loving old Toyotas. If I can get my hands on a coupe again I will, and it'll probably get a 5MGE/6MGE haha.
My tri-colored Supra and I ride each and every day, proudly and we get respect regardless. Fresh paint will come.

Having had a few Supras over the years (or should I say - they've had me), count down '84, '83, '82 ...it was hard to let the first two go, like cutting the apron strings, lol.
They served me well and I knew their time had come to leave the nest.
Now that my '82 is put away for the winter, I miss it. But then again, every spring it's like meeting an old friend. I've had several offers on it, but won't sell - I can't even fathom the thought.

It never fails, when I park to walk in to a store, work, or even when I get home I always look back and admire my ride. Kinda like we might turn and look at a girls trunk when they walk by.
Yea I love my car.

my first '79 was also my first car. i spent an entire year and EVERY cent i earned that year making it street worthy.
the day before my senior prom, i found out i had a blown head gasket. so my father and i set to work taking it apart and getting a new gasket. the next morning (day of prom) we start putting things back together. first thing was to take the exhaust mani to the welders to get the crack welded up. after that, the timing chain tensioner broke. so off we went to find another one at the local yards. no one had a supra, but one yard had a cressida. opened the hood and DAMN the head was gone. walked around it to leave and noticed the trunk was ajar. looked in and there was the head. but the timing chain tensioner was gone. found it in a side pocket in the trunk. back home we went. finished putting the head back on and set the timing adjustment. readjusted the valves. left to go pick up the manifold. got back and i had to stop working so i could get ready and go pick up my date. when i came back out to get dad's keys to his truck, he handed me the keys to the supra. he finished it up just in time for me to back it off the ramps and go.
after prom, we were all getting in the car to go to a party and my date wanted to put something in the hatch. so i handed her the keys. (she drove a 81 celica hatch back, so i figured she knew how the hatch worked) she turned the key and grabbed the louvers and ripped them off the back of the car. i didn't speak to her again for over 20 years.
next girlfriend had to get the boot for sitting on my hood.
many years later, i got married and my wife convinced me to take it to the junkyard. shortly after that i found out she was pregnant by another dude. so we split. but what pisses me off most about that whole ordeal is that i will never get my first mk1 back.

i love my supra. its my 3rd car(only 18). all my effort and money spent on it doesnt bother me because i know its to make my baby better. i turn her on every morning and driver her once a week(since she is retired for winter). and my gf gets pretty pist cuz i call it my baby and im always at my garage with my friends working on her or just chillin watching tv.
My first car was my Celica... and I'm still in love. I look over my shoulder at my car as I walk away, smile when I drive her... the works. Every once in a while, I go into the garage and look at my Supra, thinking of what the car's going to be like in a couple of years. I have a huge soft spot for my A-bodies.
Even with my crappy Celica, if something were ever to happen to it, I would make something happen to the person responsible.

I am soo into my car the i dont let anybody touch it, drive it, or sit in the drivers seat. I wont let my parents drive it. My mom tell me to Junk it , My dad tells my to Sell it, I tell my self to love it and baby it. Dont care what ppl say about it because i know that they dont have a car like mine.
I love my car too much it better then the cars today.
