Sorry to hear about the car, but glad your father was not hurt! Also glad the insurance company treated you fairly. All too often we hear horror stories about people forced to fight "tooth and nail" over cars with specialty value.

Ouch. Glad your dad is okay.

So how many MKIV TTs are left? Ten?

Glad to hear your dad is OK.

On the plus side, since only the body frame was totaled, the engine is still intact. Want to haul that engine and associated parts for a future transplant into FR-S/BRZ?

Hey, it's a 2JZ!!

Glad your Dad's alright.

I would buy it back and part it out (depends on the mods he had...)

Grrr, I hate bad drivers. I would be devastated if that happened to me with a Supra like that. But that's life I suppose.

The sheer value and integrity of this car is crazy. Shame how something he had no power of controlling screwed him over, but hey everything happens for a reason. Good luck to finding his new love, glad he made it!

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm relieved that my dad got lucky. I know he was super bummed about the loss initially but, hey, things turn around.
