WAYNE’S TAKE
Toyota Supra: One of few modern cars that improved significantly generation to generation. First iteration were fairly average cars, but they became a standalone carline in their second generation and became a lot more fun.
They have bulletproof mechanicals, but rust is always a risk.
Getting hard to find unmodified original cars.
ATypical reliable Toyota mechanicals; easy to repair and maintain
ÅRust main concern area, some parts getting hard to find ANXIETY INDEX: LOW
