    Looking for a reliable/fun daily driver

    wait a second...why dont you keep the mk3? i read that it's NA...and the supra N/A is probably safer for a younger driver than the MR2 is... or is it insurance? i dont get it...that mr2 might be more reliable but i cant think of any other reason to get it over the supra besides looks...

    What keeps you from calling it quits?

    why?? if you do why are you putting money into upgrading it? what happened? what are you going to do? let it roll off a cliff? aside from you keeping it as a backup or rarely used car...i dont see how its possible for it not be sold to a second owner....

    Help with coolant leak?

    well if there are marks from coolant coming from a loose hose, chances are that's it. a hose doesnt need a lot of pressure to leak. gravity can do it in some cases.... its possible his hose was replaced and is slightly bigger than needed...which will cause easy leakage without a properly...

    Need help identifying this

    thats all that i'd use it for. i agree when you have control over your car and you're thinking about racing sure, but i'm sure even competant good drivers can lock it up under certain circumstances, and with abs i think your car will stop quicker...i might be wrong. dont quote me on that part...

    OK WOAH hold up...can someone please tell me why ABS is bad? is it in general or just car-specific for the supra? i dont see how something that prevents your car from spinning out of control under emergency braking is in the least bit not good...

    What happened?

    how did you see that the oil level "totally dropped"...did you read the oil pressure gauge? that reads, as it says, the PRESSURE...not the level. you can be low a quart and still have pressure...you can have 8 quarts and still have pressure. but if you checked the oil... thats a different...
