For Vinh, his 1995 Toyota Supra isn’t just a car—it’s a lifelong companion. Owning it for close to 20 years, this iconic JDM classic holds a special place in his heart, as it was also his very first car. The spark was lit when Vinh saw a red Supra at a friend’s house and was captivated by its stunning curves and sleek lines.
When Vinh purchased the car, it had 120,000 kilometers on the clock and was in pristine condition. Aside from an upgraded exhaust and 17-inch wheels, the car was mostly stock. Over the next 15 years, it served faithfully as his daily driver before he transitioned it to club registration, limiting its use but ensuring its preservation.
Over the years, Vinh added his personal touch to the Supra, blending functionality with style. The upgrades include new wheels, head unit and sound system upgrade, MVP front lip, coilovers and a few interior accessories. These modifications enhanced the Supra’s already iconic presence without compromising its timeless design. The car’s sleek lines, round taillights, and unmistakable profile make it a head-turner, easily recognizable from a mile away.
Beyond its aesthetics, Vinh treasures the Supra for the driving experience it offers. He describes the cockpit-like dash that wraps around the driver as immersive, likening it to being in the seat of an F1 fighter jet. The car’s engaging nature and spirited drive ensure that every moment behind the wheel is a thrill.
For Vinh, his Supra isn’t just about the past—it’s about the joy it continues to bring, a blend of nostalgia and excitement that only grows stronger with time.
