The figured world I would like to observe and research would be

on the Toyota Supra (Mark4). I would like to observe this car because it
has been my dream car ever since I was 13 years old, even making a
promise with myself that I would own one later on in life, and to
customize it to my liking. Since Im half Asian, and experienced living
in Japan, Im somewhat partial to import tuner cars, and the Supra
being my favorite. Ever since I laid eyes on one, I knew it was the car
for me.
The figured world on my dream car, the Toyota Supra, is a very
unique one. The Toyota supra, especially the specific generation/model
Im observing, has ever since become a cult classic in the car scene
since the early 2000s when The Fast and the Furious came out in
2001. The car Brian OConnor (Paul Walker) built with Dominic Torreto
(Vin Diesel), and also drove was in fact a fourth generation Supra. This
helped regain the popularity, and sparked more interest in the Supra,
since at the time it was seen as overpriced, due to the overengineering of the car. The cars themselves basically priced
themselves out of existence, and failed to meet emissions, so Toyota
was forced to kill off the Supra for the USDM market in 1998.
There are several rules and conventions with owning a Supra.
First, you must have an adequate supply of money, for purchasing the
car, and for upgrading and maintaining it as well. The Supra, being the
classic that it is, should be treated with respect and care. The owner
should keep his (or her) Supra in great condition, whether it is stock, or
modified. I have seen Supra owners receive flack for poor ownership on
forums. It is also a general understanding to bring your Supra to
shows, or car meets. The car is loved so much by the whole
automotive community, that it would be shameful to not show it off its
JDM goodness. The biggest convention/stereotype concerning the
Supra is that it must have a lot of power. The over-engineering of the
car gave its owners and tuners to push the limit of how much the
engines could hold. For this reason, majority of Supras are modified,
usually always having more power added. Last but not least, this car
had to adhere to a certain gentlemans rule between Japanese
manufacturers in the 90s. The rule between all Japanese
manufacturers was that they could not produce a car with more than
286 horsepower. Thats why all the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market)
sports cars had roughly 286 horsepower, like the Mazda Rx-7, Nissan
Skyline GT-R Honda/Acura NSX, as well as the Supra. This agreement
helped produce some of the most prolific Japanese sports cars of that
era, and also dubbed the 90s as a Golden Age of Japanese sports
cars.
