Re: what sports car to buy

The Supra is a glorious car to drive and maintain.  Reliable 
responsive performance -- it exudes confidence.  Best money I 
have ever spent.  In 15K miles I haven't spent one dime on
anything but normal maintenance (oil changes).  Everything in
the car works perfectly.  The engine is strong and smooth,
the shifting is concise, the brakes are excellent.  It corners
beautifully, the steering has excellent feel -- but best of
all is the 4 wheel independent suspension.  I had assumed
that hard cornering on a bumpy surface was always accompanied
by varying amounts of rear end "walking".  Not true of this
car.  It is sure-footed.  

If you can afford a 944, you might like it better.  But contrary
to the magazines' statements, the 944 and Supra are NOT in the 
same price class.  The magazines have obviously never tried to
buy a 944.
