Any Midwesterners need cool seats?

I still have these damned Corbeau Targa RS seats for sale. Black cloth, "wide" option, sub-belt slot option, brackets and sliders. I paid over $1000 with tax and shipping. Gimme $800 and I'll bring them to you!

I think my seats are pretty comfortable.... I'd buy those seats but.. 800 bucks.. for seats? Man I'd use a steel folding chair before I'd pay 800 bucks for seats, even if they were heated and have massage options and hold your beer can, damn.

Welcome to the 21st century... Your stock seats will NEVER offer the support or comfort of a quality aftermarket seat. Judging by your 305-powered slug, I would estimate that steel folding chairs will be PLENTY good for the power your vehicle generates.

Unless you have just come out of a 20-year coma, you would realize that there are seats that cost over $1000 each. The Sparco seats in my Supra were $600 each...

The seats are currently on eBay. Starting bid is $500. If you are not interested, which you obviously aren't, please get the F*CK out of my thread. Nobody asked for your meaningless opinion.

Typical troll posting in people's threads for NO reason...:lala:

Ouch... kinda harsh there. He doesn't wanna pay $800 for seats. I'm content with my stock ones too, and I would never pay $800 for seats either. Welcome to the 21st century... you post on a public message board, the public can post back whether you like it or not.

Dude you got hosed if that's what you paid for those seats. For that kind of money I'd put my lazy boy in my car. Now that would be comfortable. And yes, I'm special too. If they're so great why are you getting rid of them. I think they might be hot. Maybe I should give Jon Law a call.

Seriously though, you need to take it easy before you have a stroke or something.

That's fine if you are content with stock seats. I am also aware this is a public forum. And yes, he can post whether I like it or not...just like I can be harsh if I like.

The point is this: If someone posts an item for sale, and you DO NOT want it, then don't reply. Period.

Enjoy your stock seats...

You are brilliant. I was not "hosed" in any way. Have you EVER priced aftermarket seats? Apparently not.

I am getting rid of them because they were too wide for the Supra. They fit the F-bodies, not the Supra. Period. I purchased my Sparco seats, and the Corbeaus are sitting in the house.

You think they are hot? You're a rocket scientist.

Thanks for the tip on taking it easy. I feel much better now, doctor...

If you had more than 10 brain cells, you would understand what I said. I said, I would buy those seats, but not for 800 dollars. Now if you want to be a mindless ***** that's your choice. If you knew the first thing about trade you would know I was simply implying- drop the price and I'll consider. Now if you would like to make an apology I would accept. If not, oh well. Don't go off shouting unless you have a real reason, it's unnecessary. I said nothing to offend anyone and do not deserve to be treated in such a manner. Now, if your seats do not sell on e-bay I'll probably buy them. Thanks.

Are those the seats that add 10 extra horse power, because if they are then they were well worth the money. Good thing I didn't spend that money on something silly like heads, or a blower, or a new FI system.

Good thing I already was running the 383, the Mini-Ram, the TFS heads, the Vortech, the Dana 44, and the DFI. Guess I ran out of nice things to buy. Seats were the only thing left...

Damn, you must have cash.

I said I wouldn't buy $800 seats, but I guess I probably would if I had all that stuff already.
