A bad accident made a 15 min trip to take the wife to her procedure into an hour and a half odyssey. They took her in anyway, thank goodness.

This was in the surgical center parking lot. Maybe it’s an omen of good for the rest of the day.

I sure hope it is! I love the body style of this era of Supras

That is not a Texas LP you have on the front there.

You’re a bad boy.

Me too. And this is a gorgeous example.

Not my car, unfortunately.

About half of Texans simply don’t put on their front plates. They must get away with it. I’ve never understood why.

I’m in a suburb of Houston, and the cops here actively pull people over for it.  I’ve spoke to a few of the officers and they target higher end vehicles especially.

Good. When I first moved here, I actually called the police station to find out whether front plates were optional, because it seemed like it might be, although why I couldn’t guess. The sergeant was pretty emphatic that it was the law. But still...

I do enjoy hearing about how they pulled over this ball player or that CEO or this middle eastern prince for not having front plates on their Ferrari/Lambo/Bentley.

I suspect they enjoy doing it.

I just have my front license plate in the windshield. Washington doesn’t seem to mind. We’re cool like that I guess... Literally.

I called my parents yesterday who live in Plano and they asked me how the weather was. I said it was still warm here, low 70s. I’m ready for fall and the cooler weather.

Low 70s. Heh. You suck, you know that, right?

Yep!  I could never take the heat there, just dealt with it.  This is wonderful.

Pre-facelift MkIII (aka this) is best Supra.

As long as that’s not Celsius!

So pretty. It’s aged really well.

Yep, you speak science though.

Low 70s was F, I didn’t want to trouble my parents. My dad already has Alzheimer’s.
