GENERAL:
My best friend Terry Choi first introduced me to a supra when he was looking for his. After he purchased his, he saw my future child at a dealership. He waited there for 2 hours to find out who the owner was. This was back in June of 1998. The lady came out and told him the car was for sale. He called me up and I was pretty excited. I really didn't know how to drive a standard to well nor was I even sure I was going to be able to afford insurance on that thing, but after one test drive I was sold.
Terry and I were like two black soaring eagles that conquered most of New Orleans. I left for a new job in Pittsburgh a year later. Terry was murdered and burned in the car he loved. I placed a black Matchbox Supra in his grave. My Supra lead the funeral. I returned back to New Orleans almost 2 years later and after visiting 41 states and countless cool Supra Owners all over the United States. He is just one of the many cool guys I met .. click here for another..
My goal has been doing what I can to complete his dream of having a fast and beautiful Supra. It has taken me a longtime because I don't have tons of money, but I am almost done with my Supra Project. I know he is very proud of me for trying to complete his vision for him, his family and all who loves him. I would have never fell in love or truly understood the potential our car has without him. Thanks for being a brother to me Terry. I would also like to thanks my boys at GarageAdvance for doing great work and helping me fix what other did wrong or didn't do right. Gracias Angel, Patrick and Al. My wife Katie, for putting up with one man's dream and my boys from the NOsupras group Rich Baratta, Sean McShane and ASE Lester Folse for helping to turn some serious wrenches. I can't forget the online crew that helped me tremendously, Steve Vache, Lance Worlab, Nils, Mohammed Alheraiz, etc. Please read the complete write up at my site. |
