Is the Supra a CHAV car?

Has anyone else experienced shouts of CHAV, whilst driving their Supra?

Yep I have. Pointed and laughed at because I had a FMIC and another time locally... then abolsutely s**t when they realised I'd seen them make the comments!

No but perhaps we can help you with this. Do you wear any Burberry? Baseball cap? Tracksuit bottoms tucked into your socks? Lots of gold jewellery?

No, just "tosser"

i've been called a "Prick!" whilst plodding around. and my mum if it was a chav car

How can anyone not appreciate a Supra. I got one because it is one of the best looking cars ever made..........

Maybe I am just biased.

No, just "tosser"

But don't you get that anyway when you're not driving your Supra?

They do appreciate it... They are just jealous!

chavs do like supras kids

Personally I'd say no, but to the uneducated, I suppose all cars are the same. They'd probably shout it at a rarri too

The supra is basically a techno capri, so to most non petrolheads they are going to think you're some new skool medallion man/king chav if your driving one

They'd probably shout it at a rarri too

That's enough chav talk in here, Rosie!

I seriously doubt a chav will ever be able to run a Supra no matter how affordable the Supra becomes.

Its usually them emo's and hippies that think its a chav car in my experience.

The Fast and the Furious also plays a big part in misconceptions IMO.

Some are and some aren't.

Nah, just women constantly throwing their knickers at the windscreen...

(I may have just made that up)...

I heard it was bricks bud;)

I have had a chav try and spit through my open window in town before. Unfortuantely for him the aero-synamics and my speed made it U-turn back onto his tracksuit.....made me laugh though....

LOL, i get people calling a "prick", "tosser" etc etc. Its just because their jealous and know they will never own a nice car of their own, unless they steal it.

Funny you should mention this...

Was sat in the pub on Saturday with a few mates and one of em said, "I need a new car, but which one?"...so of course I suggested a Supra...to which he said "nah it's a chav car"...I was like "YOU WHAT!!"

First time I had ever heard it being called a chav car....took me back a bit.

lol - I did have someone chuck a brick when I was in my old Calibra

There are idiots everywhere and they all bleed the same, sorry but I get F**in angry at being tarred with the "burb" brush, I feel the need to educate the idiots that shout sh*t when they don't have a fu**n clue what they are talking about, last time I had Chav shouted at me I was driving back from the cinema at the beach in Aberdeen, which is where a lot of chavs hang out fair enough, but when some idiot shouted I felt the urge to alight the vehicle and calmly give a mkiv.net card to the person in question and request that he try the site for some further information about our much loved choice of automoblie.

Either that or I jumped out the car threw a card at him and told him to log on and get a fu**n education.

Rant over!

You seen the price of a N/A these days

easily affordable, ok they wont maintain it and run it in to the ground but it doesn't stop them owning one

well just because the prices have fallen doesn't make it a chav car does it? Some models might be affordable to some chavs, but so are many cars, so are they all chav motors too?

I've not heard that said personally but at the end of the day it's just jealousy so who cares anyway

maybe some dog of a supra, run into the ground and with tasteless and detracting mods would make a chavs car, but there aren't many of those around are there? Those types of car/owners are very much the minority. Most supra owners are enthusiasts who look after the car with highest levels of care and attention and have higher than average levels of knowledge about their cars - hardly a typical chav or chav car me thinks

unfortunately with the prices of supras dropping very quickly.eg . I have seen a high mileage N/A locally for a tad over 2 grand.

The chav element can now afford to buy one.

I saw one the other day and I was quite horrified to what had been done to it!

It was modified to a similar level to a corsa or saxo.

Skinny wheels on the back which looked like cheap shite-wrong offsets ,the wheels were the same width on the back as they were on the front.

Then stickers all over it ,a 4" fan ducting in the engine bay for a cool air feed.A hole was butchered into the inner wing which looked like edward scissor hands had been let at it!

he was also dressed like a chav and drove out of the petrol station wheel spinning all over the place to which most of the other people in the petrol station shook there heads.

I guess the time is here now when the supra reputation will be tarnished:rolleyes:
