My G/Fs 93 with 210k+ runs like new, everything works, no oil leaks. I preticipated alot in fixing this car up in the past couple of weeks. She just got it like a month ago it was the regular dark green, peeling pain, lots of dints and scratches. Now its 1998 supra emerald green with no dints or scratches 
. needs to be lowered and some bling, maybe a 2jzgte if she ever decides to do it. She should join up here in a few days.

After replacing the engine and tranny in the last few years she still runs like a fat kid. Hey, they can't all be reliable.

Your GF's car looks to be in great condition. Does it have exhuast, or are those just tips?

Those are tips, i work at an exhaust shop, i see no point of making a luxury car loud if its not going to increase performance, now if she ever brakes down and decides to drop some money on a GTE swap, you bet it will have a nice exhaust system on it. The factory tips are not so great looking on the GS they hang down too far from the bumper i just cut the tailpipes off completly and made 2 1/4" adapters that have 2 15 degree bends opossite of each other, and then i welded them on.
few other things we did to it is smoked the tailights and painted the headlight reflectors black.

I see that no one has posted anything in here, and now I'm really curious how the numbers have changed. Me:'94 GS 225,532 (as of this posting), only issues have been a blown tranny, a water heater hose blew up on me, some jackass tried to break into my car so 3 out 4 window moldings are either broken or separated from the door and thus messing up the weather seal. So how are the rest of you doing?

I have pretty much changed everything. I made a thread about it. But anywho I have ~176,000 on the motor and ~150,000 on the transmission. I replaced the whole thing when the torque converter went bad.
I regularly see 90 mph and on some occasions 100+, all on a closed road of course. Even stock it still pulls like a freight train, albeit a very slow one lol.
