I would have named her Janice, but that's another story harkening back more than thirty years that shan't be told to my wife.

Cool name though -- do you pronounce it el veera or el vira (with a long I)?

There she is! Elvira, mistress of the dark. From the 80's, beautiful, always in black and wonderful headlights. I'm pretty sure the car held up better in the last 32 years.

Very cool.

1994-1998 Supra Turbo still one of my favorite cars of all time. Beating on that 2JZ engine was a thing of beauty.

Thanks All! I like all Supras and early Celicas. The later model turbos are crazy but... the MKII body style 82-85 really trips my trigger!
