Too far. Too much fastback.
Funny, I was just looking at the cars in your profile.

Do you need to make use of the emergency eye flush station over there?
My profile seems to be missing the only "good" cars i own.

I had one like that in brown. Did his really go from "parked inside" to THAT in just a year? I doubt it. Mine was parked outside its entire life and looked better than that. And I sold it running for $550 in 1995. Kinda fun with the torquey 6, but boy, did that live axle ever skitter around on even slightly bumpy pavement.
This should be a four, not a six. Was your's a first gen Supra?

This is a 20r car, more than likely. Celica never had the "A" series engine until 1990 with the 4afe, and then 1994 with the 7afe.
I believe all Supras had IRS, so something weird is going on with Duke's memory. Or he had a supra swapped Celica, which would be epic win.
My sister owned one of these, a non-hatchback, and it was an okay DD.
My Civic has spent the last several years outside and it doesn't look this bad. Previous owner(s) never washed it?

No, I had an '80 Supra, my mistake - and yeah, it was a 6. I am pretty sure it was a live axle - it sure drove like one!
(edit) Yeah, it was a solid rear axle. Mine had a 4-ME but after about the 3rd head gasket and cracked head, we put a 5-ME from a Cressida in it.
