I suppose that most (if not all) of you get that, kinda school-girl feeling when buying a new (or used) car.
Well I got that feeling tonight. I went to look at a 1987 Toyota Supra (non-turbo)
7M-GE Engine
3.0 Litre
I-6, DOHC 24v
200hp @ 6000rpm
185lb/ft @ 4800 rpm
Manual Transmission
Loaded to the teeth! Power everything, pop-up headlights, leather seats..
Paint: Maroon int / maroon ext
I wanted to get a 2nd car, so I would have something to play with, and there is alot of aftermarket support for these cars, even though its fairly quick already.(It suprised me to say the least :D ) One seat has a rip, some paint scratches on ft bumper and the pinion bearing needs replacing. (Ive already priced it, and its not too bad)
All, in all a good find. Lots of new parts including a new exhaust system, clutch, and only 2 months on new tires. I am going back tomorrow to drive it again, and if all goes well it will be mine. I will get pics asap. :D

I love that feeling. Kind of nervous and excited at the same time! I had that feeling when I picked my car up from the painters last week. It felt like picking up a new car! :D

I just got that feeling about 2.5 weeks ago when I picked up my new Supra as well (see sig).
