I'm sorry but those are the ugliest f*cking wheels I have ever seen in my entire f*cking life. |

Because the very man who designed these wheels, is also the man who took the Toyota Celica to many victories under his own personal cash, funding a works team under Tom's and constructed with DOME. He also penned the beautiful lines of the beltline of the Original TA22 Celica, and the RA27 lift-back, as well as TE27 Corolla Levin. He campaigned the Toyota 7 as a privateer, worked with HKS in the early days to form the foundation of Japanese tuning industry as we know it today. He also backed and sprung forth cash, or resources, connection for those who came up his firm, and decided to part ways to open their own shops, some of which became SSR, WORK, HKS, ENKEI, RSR, 5 Zigen, WEDS, TRUST, and is a highly regarded members at board of advisors are DOME, Super GT, JTTC, BMI, ADAC, etc...He also pushed for the modification of the RA40 to have the inline 6, which became the MA64. So in short, with none of the elements of what he did in the Japanese automotive industry, the username you sport as "Supra" and the "FR" platform to which it sits... None of those would exist today if it wasn't for Mr.Hayashi. And maybe less insult is in order for something which he designed for the sake of a racetrack, and it was his interest in supporting and drawing up something different on the Toyota 86. He made these wheels to commemorate his own tradition, heritage, and passion, currently in his 70's and still being passionate about cars. You may think its ugly, but there is a whole history behind it that spans a period that's double your age... ;) I too have my preference, but I refrain from insults on things like the Mercedes SLR, and Bugatti Veyron, as well as Gotti wheels and BMW Istetta, Lamborghini Espada, or Lotus Cortina, and 1st Gen Ford Escort... Because there are also a long history behind the men who penned them and made history on things that we consider benchmark as well. He's a race car designer, car tuner, deep enthusiast for all things mechanical, and spent half a century ONLY chasing his passions, so Be nice, please. |
106*???? Nope not doing it. No wonder there were no Black FR-S in any of the pictures lol. Oh and BUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Funny you should say that because there were actually 3 Black FR-S in the group haha. They probably just didn't make the pictures. Official count was 3 Black, 3 Red, 2 White (Mine included) and 1 Blue. |
Those were some brave men. I need to update my profile. I have a black FR-S now and love it but GOOD GOD getting into it when it's 80* outside sucks.
|
I love the wheels on the blue car, nice retro touch. No clue what that hater is talking about.

@whataboutbob drove up from San Diego @Moto-P, @shinjiro n and their group started at the Toyota Museum in Torrance Myself, @Fish and @Prava drove up from SFV We all met up in Mojave at around 10 am taking the 405 to 14 for breakfast, fuel and pics. There was a really cool moment when the plane that transports space ship one flew overhead. From there we headed out to Bishop 14 to 395 with a quick pit stop in Lone Pine to check out the History of Western movies museum ($5 for nice museum with a lot of history). We checked in at Bishop and the main group had dinner we waited for the final member of our group @Trojan_SC to arrive (he left after 5pm so he had the most traffic heading up) before going to bed. We discussed the FR-S and other car related things while we waited. Best conversation involved explaining how awesome the Mazda 787b is and the amazing noises it makes. The next day we headed up to Convict Lake, and Mammoth and to look for a fishing spot. Another awe inspiring moment happened when we saw a bald eagle above us at our first stop at Convict Lake. It was really nice seeing almost every color FR-S being represented cruising the lakes in the Mammoth area. Only problem was that a lot of us forgot to read our weather report so we went up in shorts (btw - that was the day it snowed). After coming down from Mammoth we had an awesome lunch at Erick Shaats Bakkery. We spent the afternoon fishing at intake 2 where I nabbed me a "biggun" and we left just as it started hailing/snowing. The following day was departure back down the 395 with stops at the Mt. Whitney Fishery and at Manzanar. We all got back to Mojave where we parted ways making our way back home. Hopefully we can bring a few more cars on the next Tour. TL;DR: Friday: 14-395 to Bishop Saturday: Bishop to Mammoth Sunday: 395-14 to Mojave |
Beautiful part of the country!! Thanks for sharing!
