(Usually 5 minutes after coolant has reached optimal temp. If you don’t have an oil temp gauge fyi), don’t lug, etc. Of course you’ll have other minor wear and tear, but the bones of the engine/transmission/turbo should be good. 👍

I know what you mean about people wanting to race. When I was driving home in my 2024 45th Mikan Blast from the dealership, a guy in a very loud Charger pulled up next to me on the highway, and then blasted off. My car has a dealer-applied temporary plate in the back, so people should know I'm breaking it in. Today, two guys in a Sonata N flew by then slowed down with their windows down so that I'd slowly pass them. Now if I weren't breaking in the engine, I'd probably blast by and then coast back to cruising speed.

I would say is find your footing first financially with your career job so you are not financially strained when moving up to a role that fits more what you're wanting to do with your life. You don't want to be stuck with this type of car and its expenses if you're just working a random job. Even if you find a Supra in the price range you want, that has a reasonable interest rate (if financing), the consumables for this car is pricey. I don't remember if I mentioned it in this video, but a full set of tires for this car can be upwards of almost $1400-1500. The rears only which I change out every year is about $800-900. I would say wait, save up, build a foundation for what you're going to do in your life, then pull the trigger.

Is this car more exiting than a Toyota Prius?

Absolutely not

Curious is it normal for my 2023 headlights - lower area when the lights led light strip to Had a ton of pits after 4k miles? I purchased it used and about to get it PPF but it looks bad with all the little specks of pits. Are you guys experiencing this too?

@VinceChristmastree

Mine had some pitting even when I bought it with 6k miles. Guessing it's mainly due to the angle and how low it is in comparison with the rest of the front of the car.

would it be smart of me to buy a 2020 3.0 mk5 with 51k miles on it?

If it is modified, I would proceed with caution unless you know the full history of it. If it is stock, check and make sure it hasn't been returned to stock. I would have a professional mechanic look at it and do diagnostics. The car is reliable, but who knows how the previous owner(s) treated it.

The biggest con of this Supra is it doesn't have a targa option. 1987-1988 Supra Turbo targa was the epitome of a sports car back then.

That's right!

PPF seems like such a waste for me, $5k to do the car when I can respray the car professionally for $3k. Even just the front bumper for my strat blue mk5 was quoted $1100 for PPF when a respray is $400 (I'll have to do the labor and take off the sensors). Just a hard justification in my opinion.

@VinceChristmastree

6 ай бұрын

Agree to disagree. Definitely understand where you're coming from though. Personally, going down this path, I would rather have the original paint and not have downtime to respray the bumper. I'm pretty anal when it comes to the paint so I don't even want to run into the issue of the bumper being a different shade than the car. Right now here's what I have to deal with, either I have to find a replacement bumper ($600-700) or take my front bumper off. I really won't be able to drive the car without the car freaking out so it'll be down for a week or so to get resprayed, which is a no-go considering it's my daily driver. Repainting the bumper requires the paint to cure which is dependent on the temps outside, so 30-90 days. At that point, just with the time and potential downtime, the cost of PPF is justified.

I think ppf is valid, if you only want to protect your front. Genuinely it’s a car on the road and driven a lot.. protecting the whole thing is a waste.. but having your front bumper and carbon fiber secured that’s smart because over time carbon fades from the uv rays so protecting a carbon hood/lip/front bumper is pretty much all you needs don’t go too all our only protect the parts that are revealed the most from the front.

@@VinceChristmastree why don't you guys just buy a beater for 10k a honda or toyota?

Nowhere near the mileage of this guy as I purchased mine (2021 3.0 Premium) right after retirement four years ago. I'm just at 12k (stop laughing). The only repeated issue I have had is grit/gravel getting in the disk brakes. I've had this happen twice and both times it stayed lodged in there shrieking like the brakes were eating themselves alive. You could hear me coming two blocks away to the point where people on the street were turning their heads. On both occasions took it to the dealer out of concern for damage to the brakes. Damage did not occur on either occasion and on one occasion the grit seemed to actually finally dislodge on the way to the dealer. On the other occasion, the dealer's inspection of the pads and disk seemed to clear it. I live in the city with no gravel roads so the brakes just seem somewhat vulnerable to debris getting in there.

Not the first time I've heard that happening. Not sure if it's just luck or whatever, but I haven't had that happen to me surprisingly. I know it was an issue for the FK8 Civic Type Rs and it happened to me in my short ownership.

Preventative maintenance. I'm not going to replace it that often unless I'm beating on the car hard. Higher power cars, spark plugs typically are replaced more often because misfires can cause bigger issues.
