They Stole His Supra. So He Built a Better One: MkIV Toyota Supra

It's 11:00 a.m. on a Tuesday in the redwood forests of the San Francisco Bay Area, and somehow Taj Turner's MkIV Toyota Supra is still attracting attention. A quick stop at Alice's Restaurant turns into another notification on his phone. Someone spotted the car and tagged him on social media while he was in the bathroom. It wouldn't be the last time that day. Despite being miles from any car meet or Cars & Coffee, the Supra kept appearing on strangers' stories, proving that some cars transcend the enthusiast world and become cultural icons. For Taj, the journey to this Supra began decades earlier in a grocery store magazine aisle, where a copy of Lowrider magazine showed him that cars could be more than transportation. They could be passion, creativity, and self-expression. Years later, after countless project cars and modifications, he found himself drawn to the limitless possibilities of the MkIV Supra. Then it was stolen. Most people would have moved on. Taj did the opposite. Because in the end, the thieves took the first Supra. They never stood a chance of taking away what it represented.
