Default Needed a temp replacement....what ya think?

Well it has been over year now since I sold my C5. My plans were to order a C6 right away, but GM backed out of oversees sales to military. To those of you that don't know we have a car sales site at oversees bases so we can order cars form the states. Well late last year GM cancelled there services with AAFES oversees car sales. This made it pretty hard for me to get a C6 then. Well I made it through last summer and some of this summer before I went nuts driving the 1988 VW Golf or the wife’s neon. Yes you heard me right. So I did a very spontaneous thing. I found a 1994 Toyota TT from England. Finished the deal over phone and internet and flew up there and bought it. I live in Germany by the way. Drove it all the way back that same day. It is a RHD Japanese spec. It is actually quite fun. Let me know what you guys think? No it still isn't a vet but it sure helped me with my power hunger. It is pretty much stock. Only styling was done to it. I have reached 180mph on the bahn. I'm sure it had a little left but that was all the speedo went to and I was happy seeing that.

Here is a link so you can see the car. My friend and tuner/owner of the site has put a video on the front page that the car was in. A little ways down on the left you will see a tab for featured cars. It is the first one in there also.

I also have found a C6 coupe for sale. It is a US spec in Germany so I will be selling the supra ASAP when I get home from my current deployment to the desert to hopefully buy it. If you would like to see that here is that link also.

Glad you're happy, but Toyota is the Dark Side as far as I am concerned.
