Now it lives in his Southern California garage, parked next to a Lexus LFA and his daily driver, a Tesla Model 3.
He's owned this particular one for about 12 years after buying it from the original owner in Pittsburg, Missouri, with 9000 miles on its odometer. I've owned a dozen modified Supras since. "Years later I finally got one, and I had the only Supra in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where I grew up. "I was 14 when the car came out in 1993, and it was a poster-on-the-bedroom-wall dream car for me," he said. Yet, we found just that when the proprietor of connected us with Meystedt, a local 39-year-old entrepreneur and certified Supra nut. To do this properly we needed to find a stock Mark IV Supra, specifically a Turbo model with a six-speed manual transmission and zero modifications.
And although we set out to learn just how different these cars are from behind the wheel, they turned out to be more alike than we ever expected. It's been a rare opportunity to drive the latest version of Toyota's hot rod back to back with its ancestral inspiration, the Supra's fourth-generation (code named A80), which was sold in the United States from 1993 to 1996. This is the first one I've seen."Ī day spent driving both of these cars around Southern California is setting with the sun, which is now dipping below the Pacific and painting the two turbocharged coupes with strips of gold.
Over the last few hours, at least a dozen teens and twenty-somethings have walked right past Meystedt's classic black sports coupe, giving it no more attention than they would a beige Camry, to shoot video of our bright red 2020 Toyota GR Supra. "Beautiful car," he shouts as he flies past the pristine 1994 Supra Turbo. Dressed up like Lance Armstrong and pedaling a pricey carbon-fiber road bicycle for all it's worth, a cyclist somehow finds the breath to compliment Aron Meystedt's 25-year-old Toyota Supra.
