Drive carefully and keep an escort car. Just my 2 cents.

Those alloys on the Supra look so bland! Something a bit more classy would suit the car better.

. Deep dish wheels would look super duper hot.

I've seen this supra couple of times in Sheshadripuram, near Cee Gee's chat shop.

True. Nothing too bling-bling. Simple, elegant. Thats all the Supra needs.

Hey...tht white hummer is the same one that was in at the autocar performance show. Spotted him during and after the show. Had chased him over the reclemation bridge n man this guy was ripping it good. Still remember the sound of that exaust. Had to put my car into s-mode to get that speed faster. Didnt wanna let anyone get in between . I have a video of it too.

I guess if you see a super expensive car then youwould rather stay away from it, from the fear of scratching/denting it.....

There is a white supra in Bombay with similar 3 spoke rims and they look horrible! Three spoke rims only suit bikes. 5 spoke and above look good on cars, though only if chosen with some taste.

Don't forget the infamous Viper 3-spokes. Awesome design.

I don't like those either. I have seen vipers with much better rims.

I would keep a safe distance spawn. But what about someone who barely knows the value of the car? Like a cyclist or a pizza delivery guy in a hurry.

Anyway me thinks that it just doesnt take money and snob value (?) to own and drive such machines on public roads, but also requires oneself to tune himself mentally and prepare for those minor scratches and dents.
