The Toyota Supra Configurator Has Refreshingly Few Options
The Toyota Supra Configurator Has Refreshingly Few Options-October 2024

The ! What was a slow summer Monday is now a JDM-filled dreamscape. How will you build yours? How expensive can we make them off the lot? Let’s find out.

Personally, I see no reason to opt for the Launch Edition, as I think it’s for fanboys and idealists. Plus, it’s only offered in black, white and red. Boring. I do like heated seats, though, so it’s the Premium trim for me. In Nitro Yellow for $395, please. Because why not?

And with a black leather interior as standard on all three trims (including the base), I’m going to need to bring a towel with me to sit on if I leave it in the sun for too long. We’re all aware of the agony of skin hitting a hot, black leather seat in the summer.

And I do like the look of the carbon fiber mirror caps. They’re a small detail, but I think they change the way a car looks head-on. They’re $925, though, which is a lot. Maybe if I hold off for now, I can get aftermarket ones for way cheaper. It’s not like we’re going for real weight savings here.

The rest of the Supra’s options are pretty thin, which is admittedly nice. There’s only one engine option, so the rest has to do with stuff like cargo mats, first aid kits and paint protection films.

I kind of feel like this is the way you should be able to customize a sports car. I mean, I’d love a manual transmission here, but we can’t win them all. What we do get is a sports car that doesn’t overwhelm you with options because you’re meant to drive it, not live out of it in extremely luxury.

My Pikachu-Supra came out to a total of $56,240. With the paint and the black detailing and the red brake calipers, it’s basically the same thing. It’s a bit pricey for a Toyota with very few options, but it’s also the Supra. There was bound to be some premium charging here.

My runner-up color is Downshift Blue, but I’ve been on a yellow car-kick lately. What do your Supras look like?

At $14,500, Could This 2004 Toyota Tundra TRD Camper Have You Saying Get Outta Town?
At $14,500, Could This 2004 Toyota Tundra TRD Camper Have You Saying Get Outta Town?
Campers are usually one-trick ponies, but today’s Tundra looks to be about as versatile as a Swiss Army Knife. Let’s see if its price is equally as accommodating. You know, it’s been said that there’s a plethora of ways to skin a cat. That may very well be the case,...

This Derbi Laguna Sport Will Ignite The Spirit Of Moped Within You
This Derbi Laguna Sport Will Ignite The Spirit Of Moped Within You
Sporty-looking European mopeds like this Spanish-built Derbi kick so much ass. I’m not sure if it’s because my 50CC Honda MB5 has been dormant for too long, or because I’ve been playing on repeat for the last two years, but I have a strong desire for something with a tiny...

Someone's Selling a Postal Jeep Powered by Two Small-Block Chevy Motors Bolted Together
For the longest time, I’ve been trying to figure out where the 18 missing inches of my postal Jeep’s frame went, but now I have a possible answer: This over-17 foot-Jeep DJ-5 for sale on eBay stole it so that it could house two inline small-block Chevy V8s and a...

At $8,950, Could This 1955 Citroën Traction Avant 11BL Bring it to the Fore?
At $8,950, Could This 1955 Citroën Traction Avant 11BL Bring it to the Fore?
Front-wheel drive cars may be ubiquitous now, but back in the 1950s, when today’s Citroen was built, they were the anomaly not the rule. Let’s see if this heavily patina’d Traction Avant’s price means it totally rules. Like many of you, I didn’t really know what to make of yesterday’s...

The 2019 BMW 3 Series Is Back to Being a Great Driver's Car Even Without the Manual
The 2019 BMW 3 Series Is Back to Being a Great Driver's Car Even Without the Manual
Where the outgoing car was dinged for a harsh ride, tight interior, vague steering and diminishing appeal, the all-new has an overhauled suspension, is stretched longer and wider, features reworked steering and has boosted both power and torque. It’s still not quite as charming as classics like the E30 or...

A Deer Wrecked My Ride! What Car Should I Buy?
Corey had an unfortunate encounter with a deer and now his car is out of commission. We don’t know the condition of the deer, but he needs a new ride. It should be both good for Washington D.C. traffic and something he can use for outdoor activities. What car should...
