Man forgets where he parks his car - then finds it 20 years later https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/man-forgets-where-he-parks-his-car-then-finds-it-20-years-later/ar-BBF5mZ2?li=BBnb7Kz Poor thing was too far gone to keep. I bet the interior was just as he left it, though.  edit: or should this go in the stupid things thread?

Hell, we didn't even get an FC with steel wheels at all. BTW, I will take all of those cars, thank you. I think I know what picture is being requested. It's a magazine shootout article between, I think, RX-7, Supra, Z, and Starion. Has a chick with a katana in the middle? Or a samurai, maybe?

I can't find the Japanese car shootout article picture I was trying to find, but I did find this: http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/the-only-ae86-at-sema-and-the-truck-that-towed-it-tensema17/ I believe it's been posted before, when it was still unfinished.

Might have something to do with trying to monetize his video, sometimes people will attempt to sell the rights to it or whatever and he probably hosed that up too. What a colossal moron, goddamn.

The 2 litre turbo mk3 Supras are also very strange looking things because they're flat sided rather than factory widebody like the 3 litre and 3 litre turbo ones. Even finding a picture of one is hard.
