Supra-Dupra Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Just seen this on another site thought it was funny, some people Im sure have seen it before, and wont hesitate to tell us, but anyway here it is: 185 Ways to know you are a Supra owner 1.) When a girl asks if you are single and you pop your hood. 2.) You have started to only race crotch rockets because they are the only competition. 3.) People always ask why you would want to upgrade to a single turbo when they came with two. 4.) When someone asks you to sell your car for the blue book you just laugh at their stupidity 5.) You drive around in the winter/cold with the targa top off. 6.) Every other car on the road that's not a MKIV is a piece of **** ( even if it has 1000hp ) 7.) A Civic that run's 10's is still a piece of ****. 8.) When you no longer snore, but make boost and blow-off-valve noises in your sleep. 9.) You care more about the car then school/work 10.) Your car “only” makes 500hp+ on “low boost” and pump gas. 11.) You’re the only one at the track running 10’s and/or 130MPH on street tires. 12.) You drive your car 3 out of 12 months a year. 13.) You walk to work/school in the cold convincing yourself that you've got a sweet car, meanwhile the Supra is nice and toasty in the garage... 14.)

Snow no longer means you can go skiing in your eyes...it now means "How the ***** am i gonna get home?" 49.) It's 15 degrees outside, and you're heating water to wash the car. 50.) As you're washing the car in number 49, you take your jacket off so it won't scratch the paint. 51.) A cop offers to trade you a PBA card for a ride in the car 52.) You get annoyed when people go "too slow" on off-ramps, look down at your speedometer, and realize you're doing 100. 53.)

You know you're supra crazy when you get an empty feeling inside when you can't visit the forum at least once a day or when the board is down for maintanance. 70.) You pull up to a gas station and ask if they have racing fuel and the attendant says "yeah but it's $4.50/gal, are you sure you want it?" and you say "Oh sweet, filler up." 71.) you're talking all excitedly about your car and racing and some people overhear and ask what kind of car you have and when you tell them they make a face like "why the hell is he all excited about a mid 80's toyota?" but then when they see your car they can't believe it's a Toyota because they've never seen an Supra before 72.) you have your own special "supra towel" that is 100% virgin cotton that has never been in contact with fabric softener and is the only towel that is allowed to touch your paint. 73.) you have your own special super soft wash mit that you keep in a bag in your trunk so when you're at somebody else's house and they ask if you want to wash your car you say "sure, but your wash mit has chunks in it so I'm going to use my own." 74.) you get out of your car at the Chevron station and start taking pictures of it under the florescent lights while everybody stares at you like you're an egotistical moron and your wife is in the car trying to hide from everybody. 75.) your x-mas list consists of cheap stuff like Lexol and motor oil because the stuff you really want nobody else can afford to buy for you (ie. fmic, t78, trd wing..." 76.) you pass by people on the freeway and smile because you're imagining what your car looks like in their eyes and the image pleases you 77.)
