Possibility the Supra may be sold

There's nothing wrong with a 944 turbo / 944S2.

Sure, until it breaks.

:roll: You guys suck. There's nothing wrong with a 944 turbo / 944S2.

i just think their styling is really bland.

[Andy]

The maintenance costs of 944 are pretty rediculous. I remember Danny telling me that water pumps are like 300 bucks and the timing belt has to be changed every 30K. The thing has 2 timing belts and a balance shaft belt. It also has to be retensioned every 15K. The best part is that it's an interference motor so if you don't, you're driving around in a really expensive timebomb.

Honestly, I wouldn't pick most if any of these cars if I was still in school especially cars like S2K and MR2's. These cars are so impractical.

Thayer has a GF so he doesn't need a pussywagon. Thayer doesn't have an interest in trackdays so he doesn't need a Vette which is the only reason I would get one.

WRX wagon or MazdaSpeed3 would be the way to go in my book. It's a turbo, gets good gas mileage and is a wagon so it's practical which keeps the GF happy.

S2000 is sweet...but any car that is less practical then a Supra should automatically be stricken from any person's "my daily driver" list as far as I am concerned

What about an MR2?

so you are suggesting an MR2 as a more practical suggestion over an S2000?

nice call on the Mazdaspeed. in fact, if Thayer doesn't mind FWD, there are some used MS proteges out there. fairly rare but extremely well sorted cars that have lots of the popular/effective mods done from the factory. with a real back seat, frugal fuel economy and flypaper handling i would immediately spring for that as a DD/auto-x car.

good catch

Yeah I know, I wondered who was going to say something. Right after I wrote it I thought about it, but I was too tired to turn the computer back on to edit and close that loop hole. They are both impractical, neither one would be a choice for an only car. I hope he keeps the Supra...its a neat car...nothing listed will top it for being quasi unique and cool.

+1. Supra fits the bill now, wait till you have a fulltime job and then finances will make that decision easier.

[Ryan T]

As I said before impracticality is not a problem. I have no need for it really. Anytime I need utility or practicality I drive maggie's pt cruiser or my truck.

[BLAIR]

keep the supra..its cool.. if not sell the supra and get a 5 speed SC ( same thing but less than half the cost) and have like 10 grand left over to play with

[JustinG]

FD + LS1 = Thayer

[Goodspeed]

I think the WRX would be the best option out of all the above, its quick, practical, and they're just plain cool cars, no real downside to them. But the more I think about it, I think it would be really cool to see you keep the Supra until you can at least go NA-T...it'll cost a few grand and I know you've thought about doing it in the past, but it would be fast and unique, and may end up being easier than buying a whole new car. If the Supra is good for you in every way, but you want more performance, I think it would be worth it to hold out a little longer
