Too far. Too much fastback.

Do you need to make use of the emergency eye flush station over there?

My profile seems to be missing the only "good" cars i own.

I had one like that in brown. Did his really go from "parked inside" to THAT in just a year? I doubt it. Mine was parked outside its entire life and looked better than that. And I sold it running for $550 in 1995. Kinda fun with the torquey 6, but boy, did that live axle ever skitter around on even slightly bumpy pavement.

This should be a four, not a six. Was your's a first gen Supra?

This is a 20r car, more than likely. Celica never had the "A" series engine until 1990 with the 4afe, and then 1994 with the 7afe.

I believe all Supras had IRS, so something weird is going on with Duke's memory. Or he had a supra swapped Celica, which would be epic win.

My sister owned one of these, a non-hatchback, and it was an okay DD.

My Civic has spent the last several years outside and it doesn't look this bad. Previous owner(s) never washed it?

No, I had an '80 Supra, my mistake - and yeah, it was a 6. I am pretty sure it was a live axle - it sure drove like one!

(edit) Yeah, it was a solid rear axle. Mine had a 4-ME but after about the 3rd head gasket and cracked head, we put a 5-ME from a Cressida in it.
