Default Formal Introduction

My name is Kenneth and I'm in the DFW area just west of Fort Worth and late last month I bought my 1998 SC 300. I'm the second owner. I bought it with 167k miles on it. Now has 170k. It had a couple of minor oil leaks that I had fixed right after I bought it. Everything works great on the car, just has some minor things wrong with it, possible bushing stuff, but no serious clunks. I've got some new shocks, mounts, and sway bar bushings on the way. Keeping the suspension Lexus, not Supra, at least for now. Bad thing is a semi crappy single stage paint job, but it still looks pretty damn good when it's cleaned up. I am also gtsfirefighter on Supramania and Supraforums.









And here it is the day I bought it outside of Christians shop in Garland. You DFW guys probably know him.

Welcome to CL. You have an ol' supra like I used to have in the mid 90's. I had a 1990 Supra Turbo, with only 33K on it when I bought it. I actually miss that car. That 90 replaced my old 1984 Celica/Supra. That was my first car.

Are you a GS/federal firefighter in Texas, by any chance, or civilian?

My first Toyota love was a MKII Celica Supra. My sister had an 82 L-type. Never owned an MKII myself but had an 85 Celica GT-S which was pretty close. My 91 Supra is currently for sale but I keep thinking about keeping it. I love it. Boost is addicting, even at stock levels.

I'm a firefighter/paramedic for DFW Airport DPS. Another nOOb on here is my best friend and partner at work. He (dfwff618) just acquired a 92 SC 400 for next to nothing. It needs work but we're going to make it as nice as possible.
