That's only if you care about it. I would never winter drive a Supra I want to keep nice unless I had no choice.
I know it's short notice, but WI is right next to SupraSport. You should come!

To be honest, its not really a beater. Its ruff, but some sanding and priming, either a new door or some bondo work, and its ready for a paint job.
Just needs TLC.
Fix the water pump leak and it should be a great winter car. Needs tires though.

I think I found a quattro turbo audi to pick up for the winter otherwise I would seriously consider running another supra. But I figure if I can get a quattro I will probably enjoy driving in the snow a little more. Even with snows you gotta be careful with the RWD, but lots of fun in the parking lots 
I also agree with Supraofdoom, you don't winter drive a supra that you care about unless you absolutely have too. It sucks that its getting close to the time we gotta put them away...

But yea.... My issue now is that i have a title loan that is raping me in interest.
Add the fact that im moving in a little over a month, and dont want this title loan to follow me as i wont be able to afford the interest where im going.
So, im trying to just get rid of it, taking a huge loss in time, labor, and parts, to pay off the loan so it doesnt continue to rape me.

I will think about it if my turbo one sells. I would probably winter it though. I can't really care that much about an NA supra.

Ive had it DT the last 2 years (parked safely though
) and lived near Camp Randall. Now I live in Mcfarland though. Where are are you living?I have yet to see another red mk3 around town ( white turbo, burgandy turbo, and a pretty rough silver one only) so its probably likely you saw my car.

I used to live in Pinecrest Drive.
Saw a clean one parked in a drive way on a few streets down a couple times.
Four guys are driving cross-country together. One is from Idaho, one from Iowa, one from Illinois and one from Wisconsin.
A bit down the road, the man from Idaho starts to pull potatoes from his bag and throws them out the window. The man from Iowa turns to him and asks, "What the hell are you doing?"
The man from Idaho says, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Idaho, they're laying around on the ground - I'm sick of looking at them!"
A few miles further down the road, the man from Iowa begins pulling ears of corn from his bag and throwing them out the window. The man from Wisconsin asks "What are you doing that for?" The man from Iowa replies, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Iowa, I'm sick of looking at them!"
Inspired by the others, the man from Wisconsin opens the car door and pushes out the man from Illinois.

Well I ended up going with an 87 audi 5000CS quattro as the winter beater. Hopefully it ends up as a good decision. So far I am happy for less than 1k invested.
I just bought a winter beater also!!!! 95 corolla 4dr 5spd
got 37mpg on the last tank..which was mostly city driving:naughty:

My best traded his 5.0 Foxbody for a NA Supra and he doesn't regret it. 5.0 is the best worst car ever made.
