Being forced to choose between one of these and a Starion would be quite the 80s dilemma.
I'd choose the Starion/Conquest over this Supra, but a 1986.5 Supra with the targa top?

I would care if I truly believed that it wasn't going to suck.
The General has brought us a few interesting vehicles in recent years, but they are still batting less than .500.
They are batting even lower if you consider that most of the interesting offerings are from overseas divisions.
Rear wheel drive piques my interest, but the smart money says that it will be lame.

I would so drive this car.
Throw in a Realistic cassette deck, backed by a Spark-O-Matic equalizer, running to those parcel shelf 6x9's, but with another set of 6x9's just sitting back there, pigtailed parallel to the existing speakers, and held in place by, well they will only fly as far as the slack in the speaker wire, right?
Crank up the Montrose, it's time to go cruising.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates when people use "light year" as a unit of time?
If Toyota actually means that it is a significant distance ahead (of what, I don't know), I'll tolerate the hyperbole.

I realize that California is a different world than the one in which the rest of us live, but two first-gen 'stangs?
I can't imagine getting a drivable (ish) first-gen Mustang for $500.

The guy may be a dickhead, but we should all be able to appreciate his batshit craziness in putting a turbine engine in a 928.
How jalopnik is this car?

Much like suggested for the MP3 player/cassette [jalopnik.com] (I know, it's the same link that's in the post), this thing needs to recharge by turning the reels.
5 hour charge?
