Nice looking car. Never seen one in that blue color before. Lot of great Japanese sports cars from that era, although I prefer the NSX and 3rd gen RX-7.

I always set my handbrake. I prefer this instead of leaving the car in gear on flat surfaces. Obviously both get used on hills, along with turning the wheel.

Elsewhere the angle of application is much shallower.. the actual handbrake isn't vertical when "on".. it maybe how you guys like it....

I must be real fortunate that my boss daily drives a mostly stock 1997 Supra Turbo 6-speed in Deep Jewel Green and I get to see it every day.
