Supra mentioned in new Douglas Coupland novel.

The title is Jpod.

 

Ethan and Greg are driving.

 

 

Suddenly we were doing 100m mph to pass a Pepsi delivery truck. "Greg- what the fuck are you doing?"

"Ethan, be quiet."

"Greg, slow down."

 

We squeked past the truck, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision with a white stretch limo filled with Japanese college students on a pot holiday. My nerves were in ribbons.

"There now-that wasn't so bad, was it? I also got an extra five thousand points for an insane stunt bonus."

"You could have fucking killed us."

"Ethan, I'm a roadrageoholic, but I'm really trying to overcome it with therapy. When I lapse, could you at least try to be supportive and find some joy in my ragoholism?"

 

A lemon yellow Supra with all sorts of silly spoiler attachments sped past us. Greg went nuts: "I'll kill you, you little fuckhead!"

 

Not the first time Coupland has mentioned Supras. One of the characters in Microserfs owned a MK3.

Two miles down the road, Greg still ranting, we pulled alongside the Supra at a stoplight. Then something happened that I still don't fully understand. The driver leapt out of the car and popped the bonnet.

 

"i don't have any turbos and i still whipped ur ass!" ,he shouted ungrammatically.
