nice price or crack pipe
Sometimes a car's asking price makes sense… and sometimes there's Booth Number Two. Yesterday, 82% of you opted for the latter choice for the
$325,000 Porsche 914. Today we get to contemplate the definition of "classic." Is a 14-year-old Toyota a classic, worth paying a huge premium for a pristine, low-miles example? This '94 Supra Turbo has just 8,857 miles on the clock, and it looks really, really clean. But $66,991? And why the odd price? Why not a car-dealer standard $66,999, or a no-nonsense $67,000? What do you think?

down on the street
When you start the week with an
old Datsun, why not end it with an old Toyota? Somehow, though, the mid-80s Supra doesn't feel all that old, in spite of its incredibly 80s lines and graphics. We saw a good example of its
4-cylinder sibling (or maybe "cousin" is a better way of describing the Celica/Supra relationship of the era) a while back, and this Toyota lives across town, near the
'65 Mustang.

Nick Bollea was sentenced to eight months in prison on charges of reckless driving from a street racing incident that left his
1998 Toyota Supra wrapped around a tree and a passenger critically injured. The jail time begins immediately and Bollea will also have five years of probation and a suspended license for three years. Bollea is the son of the Hulkster, who was also in attendance of the hearing dressed in black, head-to-toe (including his signature stocking cap). The
lawsuit is still pending. [

The ongoing trial of Nick Bollea, son of the Hulkster, previous owner of a
P***y Magnet 1998 Toyota Supra, street racer and driver during a wreck that left another individual critically injured, has taken another turn that could be dastardly for the son of the Hulkster. Bollea originally plead not guilty to
felony charges of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, but is expected to withdraw the plea and likely plea guilty or no contest to the charges and put his fate in the hands of the judge with a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The passenger at the time of the wreck, John Graziano, is still bed-ridden and is in the process of
filing a lawsuit against the Bollea family. [

wrecked by his Supra-loving son, Nick Hogan. Graziano's lawyer filed suit against the Hulkster yesterday after the wreck last August left Graziano with severe head trauma.

How does the age-old adage go? Mangled or not, it's still a yellow p***y magnet? The Clearwater Police Department has released hundreds of pictures of the
p***y magnet yellow 1998 Toyota Supra. The original report says that Nick "Hogan" Bollea originally struck a curb, spun 180 degrees and slammed into a palm tree. These pictures look more like the Hulkster got a hold of the car at Wrestlemania 1998 and tore it to shreds.

over the back fence
Speculation is something that's never in short supply in the automotive business, an observation that seems doubly true in the case of the next gen Toyota Supra. First, the
Toyota FT-HS was totally going to be it. Then someone tried to convince everyone the FT-HS was the
next generation Toyota Celica or AE86. Most recently, a Toyota exec hinted that the FT-HS could be a vision for the "
Toyota Supra of the future." Yeah, sure. Now everyone's favorite scanned Japanese automag,
BestCar, has some renderings of a very FT-HS looking Supra. Grains of salt all around. One more scan below the jump.

Toyota showed off its
Toyota FT-HS concept without much in the way of explanation as to what exactly we were supposed to take from it. It's a high performance hybrid, sure. But is it the next Supra? The next Celica? WTF Toyota? To add a bit more confusion, Toyota's Australian project manager mentioned at the Australian debut of the concept that we should "think of it as a Prius on steroids. Alternately, it could be a vision for a Toyota Supra of the future." Could be, or is? Continue to fuel those
Supra rumors Toyota. Press release for parsing below the jump.
