We sold all of our MKII's and MKIII's, but I interchangeably drive my MKIV hardtop, a 2001 MR2 Spyder and my 97 Ford Expedition 4x4 on a daily basis... All depends on the weather, passenger requirements, etc...
Daily drivers!

Fuck yeah buddy. Drove mine reliably, odd issue here and there nothing huge that left me taking the bus or anything. Then one day, bought some new tires was gonna put em on and change the oil, figured eh lets go burn these old tires off first. Well should've done the oil change first, or at least added some, big burnout and rod knock ensued. Rebuild it got back on the road in October and been driving ever since. Car gets driven EVERY single day YEAR ROUND! Btw, 86.5 turbo 5 speed
Well, kinda. i work from home, so I don't have to drive very far, very often. '90 7MGTE, T67, 550cc inj, soon to have AEM EMS and 15-20 psi of boost -- currently running only 5psi. It gets me where I have to go, quickly. LOL
Just how many Mk4's do you have Mike? Sad to hear you sold all the Mk2's and 3's...Supracentral;1830250 said:
As for me, once the motor is pulled from the current car to start the widebody on the 87 chassis, the Mk2 will be my winter steed. Works well enough, and I love the slip angle on the car, it's a blast to drive during the winter.
You sir, are either brave or stupid. Possibly a bit of both.Greek;1830253 said:
That said, I've been there. Hence where I am now with multiple cars. Granted, I always kept my skateboard with me when I lived in Phoenix. It's a viable cheap way to get around in a pinch.

Tell us more about that bitchin Torino in the garage :biglaugh:
I don't daily drive my 89 turbo but I could. I'm pretty confident in it to make it anywhere I want to go. I DD my SC400.
I been driving mine for about 4years daily.
But I just came across a DD I couldn't pass up recently. 01 Lexus is300

LOL...close, but no cigar! I'm a die hard Mopar guy -- it's my son's '73 Plymouth Road Runner. I have a '71 Dodge Demon (currently in Mopar Muscle magazine, pg 48 of the July 2012 issue), and my daughter drives a '67 Fastback Plymouth Barracuda.
A girl driving a barracuda... Talk about sexy.. Sorry I mean sweet, how sweet... lol
I drive my 87 turbo everyday, Though it just broke down, What I thought was something in the valve train turned out to be rod knock... >.>... engine is coming out this week for a rebuild, Does anyone have any tips for what I should while the engine is out? I already plan to go over as much of the engine bay as I can while the block and head are off at the shop but I'm sure theres a few I haven't thought of

Drove my 87 turbo everyday last summer. I stopped over the winter months to get some work done to it. I have it back up and running and can't wait to daily drive it again.
I take it you guys don't like the right sides of the cars?Hotwheelsjr;1831394 said:LOL...close, but no cigar! I'm a die hard Mopar guy -- it's my son's '73 Plymouth Road Runner.

That Barracuda ain't half bad, gotta say. I'm most certainly not a Mopar guy (Chevy for the motivation, Ford for the style), but those are nice.
A girl driving anything cool man... definitely alright by me.TRDownShift;1831402 said:
As for your car, do anything that is feasible when you have the engine out. Trust me, anything is easier with the engine out of the way...
Every day it's under about 70F I drive my 88 NA. Someday maybe I'll fix the AC... Meanwhile, it's my winter car. It was my only car from 1992 to 2003 when I bought a 350Z because I could and I needed a 2nd car for when the other was down. Plus, the head gasket went a 2nd time about then because I didn't fix it right the first time. The Z isn't bad, but my Supra is more comfortable and handles better.
