You don't see many of these around now, the fad will pass, some guys will stick with it, most will move on. The cults will continue like donks or lowriders or bombers or mini trucks or whatever but it will fade as most fads do.

Interesting to read @TylerLieberman "handles well enough to have fun while looking good" along with @Draco-REX "making small adjustments to fine-tune the street feel" methodologies.
Compliance is a word that comes to mind. |

This past weekend, while having brunch with SavetheWheels, that movie came up in conversation. We all had a good laugh. That whole franchise is terrible.

Lol while that car is not longer "cool" today, being an 8 year old kid getting dropped off and picked up from school in this thing was probably one of the most memorable moments from my childhood. That car was fun to ride in. Definitely more than just show. IIRC, it was making just under 570whp.

Are you saying the riceness or the supra itself as a fad will pass?

the fad now is to have a super low car with ridiculous camber and rocket bunny everything. a lot people just build cars for internet fame these days. too worried about what everybody else will like and not so much as to what they like themselves. "we spend a bunch of money we don't have to buy parts we don't need to impress people we don't know" ^i always loved that quote.

When's the last time you saw a car look like that Supra in regular driving? Maybe once or twice a year in the past 5 years? Sure every once in awhile you see a wing on a Civic and big wheels but nothing like the rediculous stickers and decals that were prevalent in the early '00s. Meanwhile I see slammed VW's on my commute to work daily. Supra will remain as a cool car for awhile but I foresee it falling out of favor soon as the rice tax comes down, it generally takes about 40 years for a car to start going up in value from it's low point about 30 years in, for the last generation of Supra I expect prices to fall over the next 10-15 years unless there's a big shift in pop culture or regulations that make the car desirable again. See cars that are now classic like 60's Corvettes and Mustangs and Camaros and 911s, they were dirt cheap in the 80's left out to rot or sold for scrap, now they're setting records at auctions which if you consider inflation these cars are just NOW selling for what their MSRP was 50 years ago. 1965 Mustang base MSRP: $2395 Adjusted for inflation: $17.7k Average price of a 'good' condition '65 Mustang: ~$18k http://www.hagerty.com/valuationtool...port?vc=255616 Consider that right now 50's cars are sky high because demand will always be greater than supply at this point, 70's cars are just starting to swing up (C3 Corvettes, BMW 2002, Datsun 240z, 911's etc.) but they are still several years from breaking even like the cars in the 60's. Again, unless there is a huge shift in regulations or pop culture I doubt this trend will change. Edit: I agree with Tyler, it'll never disappear completely but rather become a niche market like I mentioned with the Hot Rodders and lowriders and ratted out or whatever else is out there. |
