Thats true. Thats what the $300 Accord is for! Hell that one we had went though some dumb shit at my hands....and it ran like a champ with 189,000miles on it.
Now that I have read this thread a little better I can make a few other comments.
Keep the Supra. You like it, its a nice car, it gets respect, its rare. Now, if this guy offers you crazy money (whatever that is) then you just need to decide if you think the value of the car will stay high and you might be able to get that or at least a fair sum for it later and if the value falls, will you be cool with that.
Don't get a Vette. If you want to roll one of those, just borrow your mom's or your bro's.
EVO, WRX, or SRT-4 (oh no he didn't!) would all be good choices for a newer turbocharged fun car. The SRT lacks the AWD, but it has a high level of modifiability and from what I see can make power cheaper. Now, the problem with them for me is everyone and their brother has one (all three mentioned). Same goes for the F-bodys. I just like to stand out a little bit in my automotive tastes. I think the Supra does that for you, its simple, clean, and not everyone has one.
S2000 is sweet...but any car that is less practical then a Supra should automatically be stricken from any person's "my daily driver" list as far as I am concerned (Mike can make fun of me and call me wrong for whatever reason now) I installed a v-tec controller in one the other day, its a really cool ride, but I could never be stuck in one every day.
What about an MR2? A REALLY nice one? Just take all that money you get and buy a pre-pimped MR2 and pocket the rest of the money. Its still a good-ole-reliable Toyota (Did I mention they are so much better then any American car ever? Forever?) It will start when you tell it to. Its boosted. People like them and the retain the "not everyone has one" cool car mystique.
I dunno, in the end....keep the Red car.
