Wow, supras suck as DDs
- Thread starter tissimo
- Start date
I'm trying to get a job right now that is 23 miles away, and then going to a school which is 40 miles in the opposite direction... so needless to say I've been searching for a car that does at least 30 MPG as well.

I daily drove my Supra this Spring and Summer. Wasn't too bad, but I had a relatively short commute.
i drive an average of 10 miles a week.
and the supra isnt the DD, i've driven it for maybe 3 months this year. gas can be $7 for all i care.

Thats because you live in cal. come up north to the rocky mt's where its chocked full of snow and ice 4 months of the year and the smaller towns are full of bigass suv's and trucks and roads maintained to truck standards. I moved to this small as town and my car was getting brutalized daily.OneJoeZee said:

The Mercedes better be the 5.4 not the 4.3
Your shitting me?
Cadillac is 48 hahaha
340 horse, 7 liters
I drive about 80-100 miles a day, and get 23.4mpg in my DD. It sucks, its boring, drives like crap, right now I've got the 7M in the trunk and the added weight was the final straw for my front brakes, and now I can barely drive that car.
I wish I had the Supra

20 mpg, 19 mpg im jealous the best I've ever got was 16.5 (not even 17!) and I drove it like a grandma. It's my d.d. and I drive 240 miles a week. If only scions xb or xa's weren't the ugliest cars ever...

you thought it was a 55? fuck i wish.
4.3 dawg! still moves pretty fuckin good... :naughty:
your caddy is only 7 liters? weak!

You have 20 more horses, and 15 ftpounds less torque than I do. And I'm 600cc's smaller. 
Bigger is always better tho, can brag to the ladies.

No you wnt to know what sucks as a DD and specifically as a DD in WINTER......

24 mpg for me......
......
when it runs......
good point about the dd thing.....
on a plus note it looks like the shop that built my engine may replace the headgasket for free since they put a stock one in when they built it (they didnt want to wait the two month back order; considering that they are the local 7M guru, i figure they should have a MHG in stock at their shop, but oh wells).
I'll prolly have to front the cost of the mhg since they didnt charge me for it to begin with, but at least they'll front the labor (i don't have the tools or time to do it myself; i'm busy sun-up to sun-down between school and working w/ horses).
There is a good thing about having one as a dd tho......
gas mileage isnt as good, but it beats the shit outt drivin' a honda
I like being able to change speeds and pass people by barely pushing the throttle. fast cars are safer than slow cars because when you pass someone, you get around them faster, rather than trying to beat some oncoming truck/car.
my supra is a hell of a lot better dd than my truck, however; this beast gets 8 mpg, so these days i freeze my balls off driving my bike to class (50 mpg)

I guess it depends on how far you drive. I use my supra as a DD . Yesterday I paid 3.45 per gal. I spend about $40-$50 per week for gas. Its worth it tho. I have more fun in the supra then any other car. Sometimes I just make up a reason to go to the store
yea mine isn't exciting, its stock.. and not much faster then a civic..JMDigital said:I guess it depends on how far you drive. I use my supra as a DD . Yesterday I paid 3.45 per gal.

Sounds like Michigan roads. Pot holes the size of sink holes. I think (conspiracy theory) we have some of the nastiest roads to test the Big 3's vehicles. Survive 100k miles here and you know the vehicle can take a beating.
Company gas card FTW! I don't pay for any gas in my DD. Although, if I have to run higher octane gas (supra) I have to keep track of the cost of regular unleaded and pay the difference. I'll probably end up driving the Supra to Florida and leave the Saab in Michigan for the winter. Supra + ice/snow/salt = disaster
