You can't let that stand, the Supra has a whole extra liter of displacement. You know what you must do.
A DP and tune would definitely put it back out front. Especially if throw in a little vegetable 🌽 ⛽️

I got trolled by an M4 last night. It was a horrible green like the Geico Gecko. A Civic with lowering springs and 19” wheels is still a Civic. A guy in the German club has a Civic Si and apparently it’s tuned etc so it has the same hp as a Type R. He added underbody lights, which is definitely not my thing. I am 53. It already looks enough like a kid’s car without the glow lol.

Ha! I remember in the early 2000s underbody neon lights were a thing with the tuner crowd.

I see it’s making a resurgence , albeit with LEDs. Not just on modified cars, but on trucks too. not my cup of tea…..

Right, its just the license plate renewal stickers. Was always every 2 years and now they had to give people a 1 year option because of the cost hike. Also will mean they will issue way more dead tag tickets because people's tags will die twice as often. One eyar for $174 or two for $348 now, Thats a huge increase.

‘Wow. That’s a lot of money. We don’t have sticker fees or plate fees anymore, was canceled 3-4 years ago, no stickers required. At the peak was $120 per plate, x4 cars

total tax scam

Yeah we have inspections when you sell/buy a used car. It’s actually kind of funny when you buy out your own leased car it has to be inspected.
