New guy, no VIP cars (yet)

Someone linked me to this forum the other day and I noticed that Shawn (shawnthemonster) was a moderator on here. I met him sometime in the last year through my best friend and was thoroughly impressed with his previa and tastes with it. I hadn't really seen anyone around into modding the Estima's. Though it did help that I used to drive a Previa back in the day and loved it (96 S/C LE Leather All-Trac, family van and my first car!).
And now his car ended up in Old Series Garage where I help out and hang out with all of my friends.
So I figured I'd join up on the forums, I've always been a fan of VIP cars and long to have one someday, hopefully soon.
As for what I do drive right now:
1979 Toyota Corona, wagon. Yellow on black.
Currently my daily driver, cut springs and leaf springs removed, bouncing all over the place. :)
Just got some Appliance mesh for it and some fender mount mirrors that should be going on soon.
Picked it up for 800 bucks, burns/leaks quite a bit of oil, but has a Weber and starts up everyday and haven't had ANY problems with it. Paint needed a little rubbing compound and wax, but after that it shined like no other! Great condition for how old it is and how high mileage (about to roll 237k!). Interior is just mint as well! Can't wait to drop a 22re into it and c-notch the frame and roll with some suspension travel here soon.

My other car, 1989 Toyota Supra, turbo targa.
This was MY first official car after the Previa. I've poured so much money into this thing that if I added it all up I would probably not go out for days thinking of what I really should have done with all of it.
Current status:
On it's 3rd 7m-GTE since I've owned it. Did it right this time and bought a fully built one that came with a low mileage tranny and great clutch setup.
Haven't been driving it much, need tabs and had/have a couple bugs still need to work out. Trying to sell it or trade it though right now.
