But the garage it had was awesome.... Wasnt a full shop by any means but could fit 4 cars. Not too sure about the driveway though. Taking out the trash would be a pain since its like a 1/16 of a mile long and on a decent slope.

ok trailer parking is a plus lol. weather is good for exotic plants? I've given up on a "dream house" since everything i plant dies here in TX. We got plenty of McMansions with zero character. you have something dreamy right there

Let me start over.....

This morning, I hopped in my Supra, since its such a nice and sunny day out and decided to go look at a house. While I was there, I sized it up against the garage and found I could fit about 4 of them in there. Then I noticed how nice the view is. After all that, I hopped back in the Supra and drove it to work to start my day of suffering.

Better?

Luckily I have used her for the past 3 houses I have bought so she knows my odd taste in things and would not be surprised if I pulled up in the Evo. However, this was her first time seeing the Supra and she absolutely loved it. I swear she was more interested in it than showing me the house haha.

We have a septic tank/field but city water. The septic tank/field is the original from 1967 so we knew we would have to overhaul it at some point after buying the house.

Well, that came earlier than we thought and now we are spending $21,000 on a new leach field for the septic system seven months into ownership. Welcome to home ownership fun! :-/ Luckily we caught it before we where in deep **** (literally)

$4000 worth of BS add ons on that one.

If it has red calipers, it's a premium. 2021+ has the higher rated power. 382hp/368tq Vs. 2020 which is 335hp/365tq. 2021 has a different cylinder head and compression ratio. Non premium models have silver brake calipers and smaller rear rotors. There are some other differences but honestly you can't go wrong with either model.

Every year of Supra can now be tuned, it just costs $1400+ for any Supra ECU dated post June 2020. So almost all 2021+ models.

The new Mustang Mach 1 did great in this years Lightning Lap. Faster than M3 Competition, CT4-V blackwing, and just behind the M5 competition which is a monster.

Seriously respectable. Faster than the GT350R by 0.4 seconds.

Even more respectable is the porsche SUV only a second slower than the Mustang!

Ford has surprised me with their Mustangs. Of course, it's been 20yrs since I've owned one. Looks like the Mach 1 is basically a 2022 GT350R with a new name. That's a great thing. I saw one at the dealership the other day. It doesn't quite have the dramatic looks of the R, but who cares? Granted the Mach 1 was black which hides all the looks.

Missing the key GT350R engine though.

Too bad they never retested the GT350s after the 2019 updates to the cup 2s, retuned magneride, etc. The Mach 1 inherited those improvements, except it didn't get the 5.2 engine with them.
