Same here.. I was in high school when the MK4 was in the dealers. I could go to the dealer to drool over it. The Supra turbo was a toy and unobtainable for most younger middle class people - $40k for a new car in 1993 is $80k in today's dollars.

Still, back then I'd drool over the Japanese unobtainium like the Silvias, Evos, WRXs and GTRs more... Those I only saw in videos and Japanese car magazines.
