I used to drive it every day and leave it in the train station car park... until it got broken into, now I use my £150 Vauxhall Cav instead ;)

 

Much better not having to worry about warming it up / cooling it down / vandalism / theft etc :)

 

Plus it really makes me appreciate the Supra a lot more.

Mines a daily drive but I only do about 3 miles

 

 

If that's a round trip, you're one lazy mf ! ;)

 

Use your legs, that's what they're for, you'll feel better for it.

 

Given Darwins theory of evolution, do you reckon humans will no longer have legs in a few thousands years? :)

My Supra is currently the only thing I own, so is used all the time. I live about 15 minute drive from my work, so do it in 5 mins in the supra (cows & tractors permitting). I tend to go back to Preston to see mates at the weekend so cover anything from 200 miles Friday to Sunday and I'm a drummer for a local metal band, so the Supra carries my kit & PA to rehearsals/gigs.

I play a Yamaha DTXpress electronic kit, so It's considerably smaller than an acoustic one, but even so, it only just fits and my amp has rubbed 2 little spots off the window tint. If you think that's a squeeze, I had a Smart car before that!

No, but at 70mpg, I wasn't complaining. If you ever want to piss one off though, pull in front of one on the motorway and drop to around 84mph - they have a top speed of 87 so have to keep lifting off the throttle 'cos they can't quite overtake you. Really used to annoy me as I would sit on the motorway with my foot flat to the floor.

No way, my dads one does 100!! It's not the turbo either. A few people have followed it and it gets to 100 pretty easily!! The speedo only goes up to 80 or something silly the needle looks like it's going to snap!
