That’s another thing my Supra is more comfortable than my mom’s 2007 Honda Accord, my brother’s 2001 Honda Prelude, and most other cars I’ve sat in. When you sit properly in my seats you are relaxed, comfortable, and secured with the adjustable side bolsters. I have driven the car around Houston multiple times even drove it to Galveston, TX, which is over an hour highway drive, and was not tired at all and had no aches or pains whatsoever. Seats now days seem to be hard and not quite as supportive unless you spend more money on a higher class car. The seats in my old Supra are fully adjustable and still operate very quickly even had some friends tell me “Wow this seat moves fast” when they were adjusting it. If you are not comfortable driving my car then you don’t have the seat setup properly hahaha.

Thank you all for the kind words that’s just how I feel about cars and I love sharing my experience with my Supra everyone was telling me I made a bad decision buying it and putting all of this work into it but I always told them, I rather have this car than a new car that built like crap. New cars now days have cheap plastics and interiors that wear out in a few months also this car has something most cars don’t have. A crotch vent for the A/C. Best invention ever especially if you wear shorts. Cars today also are way too complicated if one thing goes wrong then it trips the warning for everything else like on my friend’s Lexus GS300 if the check engine light comes on it automatically disables the traction control, seems a bit dangerous to disable a safety feature but I assume it would help cause you to drive slowly or carefully. What I love about my car or cars from the 90s and such is that they are simple if something goes wrong it can be a few things that are easy to check and find or find a way to temporarily fix it to get it home.

Hey Eric,
I am not an automotive technician but I do love cars and work on my own cars as much as I can and have always been trying to get to the point where I can tear a car down and rebuild it myself. A few years ago I was watching some of your videos just because I like watching them and most of the time they help me repair my own cars and then I came across a car that I absolutely loved. A 1991 Toyota Supra Turbo. I used to have an 88′ Supra non turbo and fell in love with that car until the head gasket blew, common problem with those cars, and was stranded on the highway where it was towed and never seen again. Years later a friend of mine told me that his friend was selling the above mentioned Supra and it is exactly what I wanted, turbo, RWD, 5 speed, and targa top. When I bought the car the head gasket started going out and I was already going to replace it anyway because by then I read up on all of the problems the car had and was expecting to replace it anyway. I’ve never opened a motor before the furthest I have gone with a motor was removing the valve cover on a 1989 Honda Accord to change the valve cover gaskets. That was the first time I’ve ever removed the head off of a motor and I’ve never worked on anything bigger than a 4 cylinder. After 2 and a half long hard months of late nights, back breaking days, working from noon to early morning nonstop asking questions on forums, watching videos on how to remove this and that and replace parts, clean parts, etc. I fired her up and I literally yelled out at 10pm on a week night in utter joy that I fixed a car and it runs perfectly.
Ever since then the car has been nothing but reliable and I replaced the head gasket myself along with other parts and gaskets and seals and now the car is making more horsepower than it did stock and I daily drive it. Every time I am near the car I stare at it and a wave of pride and calmness consumes me and driving the car makes me smile every single time and that is not an exaggeration. I feel that cars take on personalities and become more than machines and this Supra is not nearly a machine to me it’s a part of me I took it in while it was broken and now it’s back stronger than ever and faster than before. My Supra is a result of pride in my work and it makes me joyful every time I just look at it. The car is still running strong today because of me and it’s the best feeling in the world. Thank you Eric for your videos they have been a TREMENDOUS help and I learn from every single video you have posted I just watch them even if they are about stuff I am not going to repair. There are not many mechanics out there that you get a sense that they take pride in their work most of the ones I have encountered just do the bare minimum or even fix the problem you were there for in the first place and create another so you keep coming back. Luckily they were not working on my Supra I only let one mechanic work on it because I know him and his work and he is like you Eric. He takes pride in his work. Thank you very much for your help and videos and keep on going man you are awesome. Stay Dirty.
