Your list is the pretty close to the reasons that I don’t drive my Vette much, either.

No, mine was only 14 years old at the time I owned her. :tongue  
It was my daily driver though. She didn’t have the same other concerns as yours does.

OK, but im super anal about the paint because IMO, when a black car is dirty, it looks like crap. My Jetta is black and I dont care because it’s my DD.

I have debated selling it for something else, but I dont think I’d be happy either with just one car (IS-F/335/C63 AMG/Tundra whatever).

Yeah, and n/a and auto.  
It also cost me only $2,700 and was immaculate.  
I should have kept the stupid thing just for the hell of it.

I don’t recall anyone ever doing anything to stiffen up the Supra’s. They are fine with the top on, but it’s obvious the engineers did nothing to help when it’s off!

The Supra is fine with the top off at stock or BPU horsepower, but anything beyond that is a little interesting.

It’s just really shaky and it feels like the car is trailering all over the road.

Smokin your car is a little better reenforced than a targa…

My car isnt to bad with the tops off… but I have cool little flapper dealys that keep most of the air from comming inside the car…

needless to say the car does get a little fidgety at 100+ with the ttops and the windows down…

but if i roll the windows up you dont even notice
