Welcome to the Supra Owners Group, International (SOGI). SOGI is
comprised of two fundamental components: the mailing list and the
web site. There have also been a number of regional chapters formed
on an ad hoc basis which organize "meets".

The mailing list is an informal, normally unmoderated forum for the
discussion of Toyota Supras and Celica Supras.


Any Supra-related topic is open for discussion, but you might be able
to find useful information about Supras from other sources. General
maintenance questions, while allowed, might get more responses on
rec.autos, and questions about turbo modifications might find answers
on Toyota Modifications. There is a separate list available for MkIV
Supra owners at www.MkIV.com but MkIV owners are also welcome in SOGI.

Questions with easy answers may generate a lot of responses. The
hard, interesting, question may generate few, if any, responses.
Don't be discouraged. Sometimes, nobody really does know the answer
to your question. Once you find the answer, you'll be the expert to
whom others will turn for help.

There are some rules imposed on the discussion. Commercial
advertising is generally not allowed. Certain suppliers provide
discounts to members, and they may be listed on a suppliers page.
Announcements of such discounts may be posted. Questions about other
vehicles, even other Toyotas, including Celicas and Cressidas, should
not be be addressed to the SOGI mailing list. In addition, there is
a separate list, supras-org@supras.com for discussion concering *how*
we do things. Topics such as "split the list" or "we should use a newsgroup"
should be directed to supras-org@supras.com instead of supras@supras.com

Under no circustances should you post a message to the mailing list
about computer viruses. Most such messages are themselves the virus:
they affect the readers by wasting time. If you are even tempted t
