    @bussin.buses I know how you can improve (in my opinion) that shot of the Eagle?

    What I did with my last Old Blue pfp was i backed up a fair distance from the truck and zoomed in. This technique make the car look bigger (imo) and shows the entire front profile of the car. Just my ideas and opinions tho, if it looks good to you, it looks good to me

    googled "1983 toyota celica supra" after googling "best japanese cars 2014" as a joke, and then just skipped to first where the celica was there, so I decided it looks good.

    i really have no good excuse or story just how i got there probably gonna change it today or next year.

    Yeah, I have one like that, too. I just thought this angle makes it more aggressive (not that it worked, it just looks bigger (which is good)). I really like the green, too.

    It also has that nostalgia factor.

    Does anyone else remember waking up in the car on the way home from a trip, only to see it's completely dark except for the dash, and you and your dad are the only ones awake?

    I was playing a Roblox game called Blood and Iron, and this Dutch Grenadiers officer was the last one alive on the French team. He killed the entire Russian team, which was like 4 people I think, until the last one alive was this AFK Opolcheniye officer. So he came up behind him and executed him. I thought it looked cool, so I screenshotted it and now its my profile picture.

    I love the Sniper from Team Fortress 2. He's my most favourite character because I relate a lot to him, especially the fact I love cars and he has an RV van. TF2 is also my most favourite game of all time. This can explain why I use TF2 PFPs almost all the time.

    Mines just an image of a Volvo 850 R that I found on Google. I also found one of a estate, should I use that one instead? Agree for sedan, like for estate.

    It was a femboy fox my bf made. But then I switched it to my Hunda because I like my Hunda more than femboy foxes.

    Toyotas were never really meant for performance, except the supra and some of the more extreme trim options.

    Was the Supra made for performance? I always thought it was a weekend grocery getter. I know there was a sports trim for it but in my mind I always thought Toyota was aiming to make a weekend sports car that was practical but also somewhat fast.

    To my knowledge, the Supra was and always has been (until the most recent model perhaps) a Grand Tourer and meant for long and / or spirited driving at moderately high speeds.
    The A80 Supra could be compared to the Nissan GT-R R33, Mitsubishi GTO, Subaru Alcyone SVX, Aston Martin DB7, and the Ferrari 550 Maranello, all of which are Grand Tourers.

    Yeah that's what I was trying to say. Like a weekend car. A tourer. In America we don't really use the term Grand Tourer, if anyone says GT it's just GT and that's that. We call em weekend cars lol. But yea that's what I was tryin to say.
