Alabama thread!

I like it in that I'll never buy one. Lol.

 

run the inflation numbers on the turbo supra of old.. it's priced higher than this current one when it was new.

 

It's a good looking car, but there are a lot of bmw interior pieces that they didn't bother to change. I'm not sure that it's going to live up to the hype of the last one.

 

i don't mean what they go for today, i mean what they went for back 1998 and before at 40k was a lot.

in 1997 40k would equal about 63k todays money.

they were crazy high then too.

 

to me the only thing it doesn't have the old one did was a manual.

 

the weirdest thing is the jumps in price to realize crap no ones paying that and bringing it back down. think about the guys that paid 50k back in 95-96.

Model Year / Toyota Supra / Toyota Supra Turbo
1993 / $33,900 / $39,900
1994 / $35,800 / $42,800
1995 / $37,600 / $47,500
1996 / $38,600 / $50,400
1997 / $29,500 / $39,900
1998 / $31,078 / $40,508

 

Everyone wanted a cheaper version of the Lexus LFA and what they got was a more expensive version of a Z4 that looks like a prop from the Fast and Furious.

 

then why is the new one not achievable? as far as reliability we would need to search the beemer forums.

 

can you get a z4 with the 3.0 I6?
it's the same engine in the upcoming z5 though from what i've saw.

@TRD Tyler, nevermind i found the z4 with a 3.0

 

sounds about right for most lol

 

more info on engine... also I wonder what mandates the government and EPA put on cars like toyotas and bmw's as far restrictions.

i think bmw makes great vehicles.. not my personal favorite for the money, but I definitely appreciate them.

 

From the first picture on that link, all I thought was looks like a RX-7.

 

Talking about supras? My buddy just bought this one last weekend.

 

Employee of IHop actually. Son and Dad worked there. Someone (customer) probably got pushy and went off. After that they carried him out. Too bad about the guy's Dad. No sympathy for the perp and glad the son made sure he didn't survive.

 

Crayon work you know!

 

Anywhere hiring in or around Huntsville that y’all know of? Been full time in the retreat center and camp world for awhile. Lots of various experience with construction, sales, management, willing to learn something new.

 

Retiring this year and also considering new work. Indeed.com has tons of jobs for the Huntsville area listed and I peruse them often. Trying to make that serious break away from working for someone else and have my own business. I want to get together with Jerneyman and blow his business up into serious money. Trailers, tents and everything you can weld. Maybe make some off-the-wall firearms on the side (.45 ARs). Huntsville is primed for it for years to come.

 

If you can weld on heavy equipment trailers you’ll make a killing. We had a 7 axle tractor trailer go down bc welds on trailer couldn’t pass DOT. Talk about money fixing welds.

 

I'm good friends with a guy that runs a welding business in Huntsville for the last 30-40 years. Never a slack moment in his shop. Big bucks welding those rockets and other related equipment out in Decatur also. I need to go to Drake just to get the basics down and go from there.
