I'd rather be driving my Volvo 850 than any mid-90s Toyota Supra. I'd get bored rather easily if I owned one of the latter. With the 850, I never get bored with it- it's such a great car to drive, even though the maintenance costs are a little above average.

You drove through Bennington, Vermont? Bennington is my hometown! I love it there- small world.

I think with the Supra Twin Turbo, in order for it to be of any interest to a collector, it's gotta be stick, leather and Turbo.
 
I can't see any righteous tuner guy shelling that kind of money out for a cloth automatic Supra.

I think some who own those cars get a little ahead of themselves as it is one of the few Japanese cars of the past 30 years to have any collectible potential at all. I agree with your statement, if I was looking for one of those it would be a turbo. How does the targa affect values?

Yeah Bennington is a great town but I was just passing thru on my way to meet some guys in Albany. It's more fun to take the back way than the boring Turnpike even if the Mass Pike is the only East-West Interstate North of CT.
 
I didn't have time to step at Hemmings.

That Alta - what a lovely car. I've seen several different Altas. but they were very rare, and although probably most survive, they are probably unheard of over the pond.

Today I saw an MG Magnette of the type Magnette owns. Can't be many of those on the road on this continent.

A friend of mine has a '58 Magnette.. He says he is in the process of restoring it.. No evidence, so far, though..
 
He also has a '62 MGA that he's driven back and forth to Key West, one and 3/4 times...

magnettes are tough to restore. No body or trim parts, and not much value when you're done. Too bad, I really like them.
