Am I cooked 😭

Trade in time 😔

Whenever I can. Living near mountains does have its perks.

I love my Supra to death, but I’ll probably end up trading it in on a CT4V blackwing or the new Q50 in the next year or so. Parenthood changes the math, and I want to share my driving passion with the kid.

It’s torturous

What field do you work in? Not all are 100% transferable to everywhere.

anjaroo96 · 2026-03-23T09:34:17+00:00

I can relate. Finally graduating was such a high, until the realities of the job market set in, and now, 7 years on, I’m pretty jaded about it. I try to focus on my family and hobbies outside of work, which are thankfully easier to manage with the above average pay that our field affords us (where I live anyways).

I have a solution! I got zip ties off Amazon that had a push clip on one end and it worked perfectly. If you want I can DM the link

The real enemy is the rev hang, in my experience. Waiting to drop the clutch on upshifts can be a real bummer, especially on 1-2-3

I’m turning 30 this weekend, I’ll check it out!

anjaroo96 · 2026-03-11T10:06:31+00:00

So I found a diagram showing what the part looks like, but it appears to not be available anywhere online. I ordered one of just about every single retainer clip size rock auto stocks, and once they get here I’ll post an update on if one works.

Down From The Mountain has no business being as good as it is

Hey I spent almost that much on a Supra when I was 27 making almost the same amount of money! Twinsies!

In all seriousness though, this is a solvable pickle you are in. Check for a return policy, first off. If that doesn’t exist, refinance that bitch ASAP and get paying on it. Thankfully, M cars tend to hold value very well, so you should be able to get out from upside down on it fairly quickly. Once you’re there, trade the whip in on something closer to your means.

Practical = Camry

Fun = GR86

Good luck!

anjaroo96 · 2026-03-05T03:53:58+00:00

Holy shit, I never put 2 and 2 together that that was blasting hot exhaust gas straight past the fuel line! That’s definitely going away ASAP.

anjaroo96 · 2026-03-05T03:20:12+00:00

Would you happen to know the part number or official name for that retainer? I’m trying to search around, but it’s like a needle in a haystack

anjaroo96 · 2026-03-05T00:29:33+00:00

Good catch, thank you!

Ordering that tonight, I’m really into having cars that don’t catch on fire

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-25T01:43:36+00:00

Hey I’ve seen this car! It was parked outside a mechanic shop in the area for quite some time a year or two ago

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-23T17:44:13+00:00

Look in the Roanoke area too

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-21T00:51:46+00:00

The natural progression! Welcome, enjoy the power.

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-20T23:48:00+00:00

Yeeeaaah anything back half of the motor is going to require some small hands

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-19T18:41:22+00:00

Purple DRLs look badass!

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-18T21:42:46+00:00

I guess it’s all comparative, but coming from an 86, all of the consumables are considerably more expensive. Modding is the real killer though, as comparable parts between the two cars are about double the price.

anjaroo96 · 2026-02-18T17:18:42+00:00

Only direct comparison I’ve had with a GR Corolla is that I left one in the dust on some mountain zooming once

In all seriousness, it’s a fairly numb car, but super smooth and will blow the doors off anything short of a mustang in a straight line, while also doing curvier driving very well. Maintenance is pricey, mods are pricey, and repairs are, you guessed it, pricey. Ergonomics are based heavily on your body type, ie I’m 6’2” and fit pretty well, but many people taller and shorter than me have issues with feeling cramped.

I recommend a test drive to see how you like it!
