Rob Corddry Instagram – An office type in a company polo handed me a 2021 Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Premium and said “Drive this all weekend” because I scammed my way on to Top Gear America and I’m suddenly a car journalist. So let’s skip to the part where I’m rolling on the fucking gas around turns, pitching that ass out like a Tik-Tok star…
Only… that didn’t happen, though not for any fault of the cars. I headed to the snakey LA Crest Highway and found it closed. Cop told me there’d been an accident and, as he drank in my GOSOFUCKINGFAST styling, asked if I had planned on driving the speed limit up there. I said “The only way to test a car’s handling is at 40mph, Officer.” He nodded in a “Fuck you” kind of way, told me there’d be more cops up there now and to warn my friends. You’ve been warned, friends.
I found another road and the Supra passed all the stupid tests I won’t bore you with (giggle test, “oh shit” test, etc). But I held back on the unfamiliar terrain so I never got to throw that ass back like Charli D’Amelio.
Speaking of which… A minute here about the Supra’s fantastic ass. The rear fenders look like the haunches of a fightin’ dog that lifts (and every day is leg day), but the front is all long-nose Japanese elegance. This cultured nose folds into its muscular quads so neatly I found myself just staring. As for other triggered senses, the 3.0L Twin Turbo, coupled with the 8 speed AT burns, pops, and growls like that same dog whose owner swears is “just playing”.
Then there’s that fucking roof… The “Double-Bubble” roof stands out like a middle finger pointed back at itself. It’s just plain wrong, a poor homage to Toyota’s greatest car ever, the ‘67-‘70 2000GT (pictured), a rare, jaw-dropping vehicle. That roof never bumped me because on the GT it looked modern. But the Supra’s modern take on modern feels merely contemporary, that cheap, easy cousin of edgy design. But I say WHATEVER, I’m not driving the roof. I’m driving a Toyota badge risen from the grave scary enough to make cops ask dumb questions. The 2021 Supra is real and a real value, and it’s a giving car… but don’t underestimate it. You’ve been warned, friends. | Posted on 19/Jan/2021 23:44:49
