Remembering Japanese cars from the past
I have seen a couple of topless Toyota Celica AA63 before, but never a Celica Supra mark II. That was until now…
Yes, someone chopped off the roof of this Celcia Supra MA61. Or even better: someone did this professionally!

Which roughly translates into something like this:

And if you thought it had been used a lot before it was traded in you’re wrong! It did not even drive 75000 kilometers in its life! For a Toyota the car has just been broken in. :(
Hopefully the car is now being reused in some other way… It is still a shame to see such a thing happen! In some cases the Cash for Clunkers may be a good thing, but looking at this example it sounds like a very bad practice of funding the car industry…
