My father died when I was very young, suicide.
The few memories I have of him are of working on his ~'79 celicas with him.

The memory that stuck with me the most was how he was talking about how he loved the look of the '94 Supras but would never afford one, little me made it my goal in life to get one so he could drive it.

Jump to age seventeen, dad has been dead fourteen years.
'94 Supras are still expensive, so I aim for one I know he would still love, an '87 Supra.

Dream becomes a reality:

Got the stock sawblade rims for it

Jump forward four months, spoiled rich girl doesn't know how to drive.
Has her blinker on to take a right turn in the opposite lane of me, we're turning onto a one way road.

She commits to her right in her daddies 120,000$ M6 BMW, I commit to me left, she swerves to go straight instead of turning, into my dream car.

She hands the cop a fake insurance card or something like that, state farm had no knowledge of who she was or the car in their systems.
She also cries her way out of her ticket, and the cop instead tickets me for "Dangerous Left Turn"

Call her and tell her I need to take her to court.

Get a call from her dad a few days later with him telling me if I drag his daughter through the court system he will drag out the process until I have to file bankruptcy.

Give up on the court route, sell all my worldly possessions, N64, NES, All my musical instruments, Computer.

Buy new shell
Shell has a targa top (Roof pops off)
Shell is the stock white pearl color that I love
Shell has blue interior instead of burgundy
Shell is in a condition so good that I could sell it to a showroom after the engine is in
Shell is to a T my dream '87-88 Supra, not one that I'm settling for.

Pull the motor from the old one

12/5/2013 - Update

Sold the last of my N64 games as well as my Clarinet and ordered parts on the 30th of Novemeber, or sometime around there

The Radiator, which is the important one, should be arriving later today, maybe tomorrow (Should have got here on the 3rd or 4th but because of storms in the middle of the US the package deliveries for the west coast are delayed, logic?)

Sadly this story doesn't have a happy ending yet, but it will within the next week.


My car may not be expensive with some hyped up brand name,
But my car is rare,
and my car is a product of my blood, sweat, time and effort,
I love my car, and I loved my dad.

 

Thanks.
