Scoboblio Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 The questions that nearly EVERY person asks when they find out you've got a supra - The bits after are what I feel like saying, but out of politeness never do; "I bet that goes fast doesn't it?" No mate, it's a 3 litre straight 6 twin turbo but it can't outrun a milk float "What's the insurance like on that then?" Oh, £2.50. What do you think, it's a sports car! "How fast does it go?" Well, if I push the pedal on the right it can go... well, very fast. "A supra? Isn't that like a subraru?" Yeah, except it's rear wheel drive, a coupe and not based on a rally car. Sorry for the rant, I know people are just being polite, but it's getting a bit repetitive being so damn popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 The one I dislike the most is " My( insert relationship) has got a Celica as well!" Had this a few times. I was thinking about replying "No different car mate, this was the prototype for the Yaris" Slightly off topic, but my favourite overheard comment , was in response to a little boys question to his dad as the were along side the car. The kids is going nuts at the car and says to his dad, " Hey dad look at that, what car is it? ( Dad has not got a bleeding clue) Walks past with out saying a word snatches a quick glance backward and sees the badge and knowledgeably says "It a Supra son" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(youll never know you dreary fcuker) Yeah that's about right, I always get asked if it's got nos for some reason, and when I say no they ask if I'm gonna get it. and the 0-60, to which I have to explain that it's a GT cruiser, the speed of the thing is more noticeable from a rolling start and the 0-60 time tends to give a very modest impression of the cars performance.......... oh and it's less than 5 seconds!

CardiffSupra Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 LOL! good thread Iv had so many people say to me "whats the point having a car that fast? u cant use it anywhere" Grrrrrrr! When i told my mum i was getting a supra i turned up at her house and she said "thats not like the blue rally cars on tv" Grrrrrrrrrrr! Also was filling up at the station the other day and there were a bunch of kids looking as i went in to pay i hear one of them saying "Wow nice car with the spoiler and everything" the other kid said "yeah its a BMW" felt like putting him in the boot and teach him a lesson! "DONT U EVER CALL THIS CAR A BMW EVER AGAIN!" Grrrrrrr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 First question I'm ALWAYS asked is "Is it a twin turbo?". Used to really annoy me when I had the NA. Last funny question I had was "Who did your spray job? What colour is it?" - Erm... Toyota and Royal Sapphire Pearl. "My had one of these once. Celica isn't it?" - Aarrgh!

Ceptik Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 My favourite one was when i was chatting to a mate in a car park and these kids rolled up in a Nova about 20 yards away with windows down. Heard one say "Rar! Skyline!". Then another shouts "Nah, thats not a Skyline. Thats a Mitsubishi". Bless em. A girl i was getting friendly to saw a picture of the car and called me a chavvy boy-racer. When asked why she replied "Cos you've got alloy wheels and a stupid big spoiler on the back. It dont make it go faster you know!". I held back my frustration and tried to explain that the spoiler was standard on the car and NEVER, EVER call me a boy-racer again!!"

SteveL Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I had a tesco car park insult... Dad and son walk past as I'm getting in the car, Son : wow look at that dad.... Dad : Oh - its only one of those toyotas... Me : ( watches as he heads over to his car... and gets in a Ford Probe.... and smiled inside ) Wasn't even worth getting upset about - just felt sorry for the little boy!

RedM Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I often tell people it's electric powered when asked about fuel consumption. It runs so quiet they almost believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Matt Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Best one i ever had was, 'Wow! a ferrari!!' And you all say red is a bad colour! Also had the 'oh its a toyota?' coment loads of times, closely followed by the obligatory empty head comment of 'Is it a celica?' DIMWITS!!

Last funny question I had was "Who did your spray job? What colour is it?" - Erm... Toyota and Royal Sapphire Pearl. "My had one of these once. Celica isn't it?" - Aarrgh! Yep, I've also had the "Is it a twin turbo mate" question. Grrrrrr!!! For which I say; Nope it's an N/A MATE. Then they just walk away with disappointment?? Still, it was great when they got back in there 1.6L Family Ford and I got back in to my: MUCH QUICKER, NON-BAD LOOKING AND ALSO USED AS AN EVERYDAY 3.0L 24V SUPRA FAMILY CAR THAT DOES'NT LOOK LIKE EVERY OTHER F%CKER ON THE ROAD SO THERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
