It was a bad ass car during its time. Those who are able to drive and own it was on a league of their own.
The other sexy car to me was when I first saw them eclipse, the same model to the 1st fast and furious chain. It looked like alien.
During the same time, it was foreign to find out that my family friend was living in SF, a refugee and yet, even before I knew what a skyline was, I saw him drove it to my house. Did not know what it was at the time. There was no logo or any. The guy said he bought it in SF from a car import guy at the pier. Some guy already tries to offer him 10k for that car. To him, it was a no name car. Later on, I thought back to that day and yes indeed, it was a skyline. The cash paying guy probably going after the engine to swap.
I owned a Supra myself. I think it was a late 80s model. 89 probably and stick too. It was the car that I learned how to drive stick. Ended up selling it back to a white kid who goes to a Jr. College. His first car and a gift from his father. What a spoiled guy.
