How many people daily drive their Supra? I personally drive a Supra because there is nothing else that I would ever want to drive. Sure there are other cars that would be fun (Corvette ZR1), or bring more pretige (Ford GT40), better gas mileage (I live a mile from work), better chick magnets (Skyline GTR), but the MKIII Supra has all of that, and it's proportioned very well into all of those categories at a much smaller price.

So, Do you save your car for special occasion? Do you drive it daily, every time it runs? Do you drive it 6-7 months a year, and store it until winter is over? I swear I couldn't handle that. Have you been driving it for years trouble free?

I voted that I have another daily.

When my Supra is running I drive it 50-60% of the time. I usually won't take it if I'm going to be parking it and leaving it for the day (like at work), but it comes out on weekends, short trips around town/to see friends, and when going on a road trip/vacation (when not taking the 4Runner for its 4WD). :D

i daily drive mine most of the time... because i start to have withdrawals and miss it... i dont drive it in the snow ... but after it all melts i drive it and wash the underbody often....

i can drive a 95 taurus daily but the trans is going out in it and it gets annoying..

or

i can drive a 97 gmc 1500 but i slid on ice and bumped into someone earlier this year... and i decided to just let my dad daily it instead of me.... i dont really feel comfortable daily driving a biggish truck... ill stick to my cars...

I don't dd any of my Supras. I'd take a Supra out for a weekend drive weather allowing, or weekdays after work to wind down a bit, as long as weather is OK. If i have to park and leave them, i'll just drive my dd, as I dont trust douchebags/haters out there not to damage my babies. I do have three dd's I can choose from.

I DD my car whether it's sunny, raining, or snowing. It's due for a rinse though, it's all covered in salt. I don't understand the reasoning behind keeping it in a garage until it's sunny/warm out unless it has so much horsepower that driving it in less than perfect conditions would mean suicide

Right now I'm alternating between the Supra and my GMC Sierra. I'm enjoying the Supra so much I'm pretty much driving it everywhere I go, and it's getting much better gas mileage than the truck. I do however get truck withdrawals and drive it for a couple of days.

I drive mine everyday, rain or shine. It doesnt snow in TX, so I dont have to store it for the winter. Even though my paint kinda sucks, I still wash it as often as I can, or use some quick detailer on it. :)

Yeah but it's so damned cold out right now that it just freezes. And I need new weather stripping on the underside of my hood...

Daily drove mine all through winter last year but this year I bought a piece of crap vw golf to drive around due to my non trusting of other drivers in the snow and not wanting to get the supra in a wreck. But other than winter I drive the supra rain or shine and wash it several times a week even if I only have time to run it through the drive through car wash.
