Although you do need a better job. You guys are not taking into account the cost of living in certain areas..
Come on now....San Fran., yea your min. wage might be almost $10 an hour but pretty much anywhere in cali is an expensive place to live. Cali is probably the most expensive state to live in. Same with Fla.. Your cost of living is higher than in middle of the country states.

My advice...When you can, get a cheap DD.
I had a DD before i got the Supra realizing that the Supra would need occasional downtime for work. Its a 20 year old car, it will have problems. It is also not the friendliest car to drive for good gas mileage.. I drive a 4 cyl civic..All these guys can laugh at me all they want but i get 29mpg..they do not.

Also before you decide to ditch the Supra, check the simplest stuff first..Your accordian pipe is a fine example.. And if you ever do decide to ditch the Supra forever, at least sell it to someone on the boards that you know will take care of it...just my .02

haha... i bought an 86 civic hatch for $900. it gets 30 mpg no matter how i drive it.... but it's very very slow

same here

It is absofuckinglutely NOT $7 an hour here!

Boosting makes a huge difference in gas mileage, but not as huge as having things like an unclogged (or just no) cat, new O2 sensors, new plugs and wires, fuel and air filter, stuff like that. Little stuff like that can kill you. Even with me boosting three or four times a day on a 60-1, I was able to squeeze out 22MPG because I drove like a grand ma the rest of the time.
