Notorious M.K.3. by rodel

4 minute(s) of a 90 minute read

I did a same day turnaround trip to Vegas. I left the house on Sunday 5 am and arrived t0 Vegas at 9:15 am. I cruised the Las Vegas Blvd Strip for a few minutes. I left my house with a clean Supra, but after the 240 mile trip, I had dust all over the car and had dead bugs all over my bumper, so I got a car wash. After the wash, I bought Meguiars quick detailer at Autozone. Since I knew that the food at the even was going to cost an arm and a leg, I bought Panda Express food to go (orange chicken/ Beijing beef/ fried rice). Finally, I arrived at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway at 11:15 am.

The show was fun, overall. I met people from the forums. Parked next to me was an female senior citizen who had a clean read Supra who paid $675 to ship her car from New Mexico to Vegas. Now that's a true Supra fan! Many people gave me positive feedback about my Supra. One guy, who brought his MKIV to the Show and Shine, now wants to buy an MKIII.

The show ended around 4:30 pm. I went to Rio's Carnival World Buffet with Nick Stonawski, his gf, Jill, and two fellow MKIII owners, Christian and Joshua. 

I finally left Vegas around 8:30 pm. The drive home was crazy. I drove in a storm with epic lightnings and dense fog. I finally got home at 1 am and went to sleep at 1:30 am. At 4 am, I left the house go to work.

Below are some pictures that I grabbed, taken by other attendees. 

At the end of the show, I was given an award

Since my car has looked the same for the past three 2010 meets: Toyota Fest, Nisei Showoff, Supras Invade Las Vegas, it's time to start project: Notorious MK3 F-Version

Thank you. I hope you make it to a future Vegas event. SILV should have an award for the longest drive to Vegas. The shifter is C's with a Veilside shift knob. Greddy has an identical shift knob.
