SupraDave93 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 As a new owner of a Mk4 Supra, I wanted to say hello to everyone, and that I'm looking forward to restoring my 1993 Japanese-market Turbo Supra to near-new condition over the next year or two. This forum will be a fantastic resource to that end! I've just completed a 1989 Mk3 Supra turbo project with my oldest son, and am giving it to him next month as a college graduation gift. When I found a Mk4 last month for sale, I couldn't pass up getting a Supra of my own :-) Fun fact: most U.S. car insurance companies won't touch a right-hand drive car. Also, I looked up the build date on my Mk4 yesterday, and it was manufactured within a day or two of my 21st birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDave93 Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yep, it’s a pre-delivery KC-46A. I have lots of hours flight testing in them, so that plane is near and dear to me. After aiming my headlights I took an evening cruise down to Boeing Field and was grateful to get this photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDave93 Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 John, I was able to insure it through Progressive, although it required their underwriting departmnt’s approval, and a clever agent’s ability to override the VIN length requirement. In the end it did qualify as a specialty sports car policy, which was about 50% more expensive than a LHD Supra would have cost. But I have no annual mileage restrictions with Progressive, which is nice. Other options out there had mileage limits around 4000 miles per year.
