The only new car my father has ever purchased. New from the showroom in 1986, it had an underpowered naturally aspirated V6 and looked like a doorstop from the TRON world.

I love this car. I don't care if you love this car. This is a neat car.

Those wheels look surprisingly fantastic on there.

I like the asymmetrical intake on the turbo version.

It looks like Chrysler badges from the early 2000's in the centers. But that's probably just me.

Damn I miss my Z31s. First there was the '84 that I bought from my cousin after it caught fire. Fun restoration project but unfortunately never completed. Sold it to an all Z junk yard with a rebuilt motor that was never even turned over. Then there was the '86. Man that car was fun.

My 89 Supra was a "white package." It had white trim, white rims, and a blue interior. Shit was so 80's, it came with a cocaine shelf [citation needed] right on the dash.

There were also a few with talking warnings, like "door is ajar" and speakers in the headrests.
