For the last 4 years I really have loved the tC. I have babied the heck outta it and loved every day ive had it. But Since I bought my Supra this past fall the only thing I have wanted to drive is the Supra. It sucks being at school and only getting to drive the Supra once over 4 months. Especially when my single turbo setup is done this summer, the supra will be the only thing im going to wanna drive. I just have came to the conclusion that having 2 cars in college really isnt practical and even though my tC is paid off and my supra is my only car payment. I could sell the
tC and payoff the supra and have money left to do some more stuff to it.

400+whp Mkiv Supra > tC

but dont get me wrong, ive loved my tC. The supra is just my dream car though.
Of course, its a freakin Supra Lol, you could always use the tC as a DD, and the Supra on those days when you feel like stunting/cruising/weekend or whatnot.
Yea thats what Im doing now, but Its hard having one and not being able to drive it because it is in your garage over 2 hours away and I only get to drive it once every 4 months. I have always said a car was made to be driven not just parked in the garage to look at. So imma get rid of the tC then when I get done school and get my own house with my own garage then Ill buy another car and keep the Supra in the garage to drive on the nicer days.

Nothing better than having a luxury car (for me it would be a 5 series BMW, or an FX50) and having a car like a Supra on "those" days. Goodluck with whatever you have to do.

It's a good car commuter car. I bought my wife an 07 tC brand new exactly like she wanted. Spent almost $19k on it. I only bought it because at the time I had an 05 STi and my wife saw a clip of a modded tC beating an STi. I don't like driving it because it is just too slow for me. But I come from a list of fast cars. I built a 350AWHP Eclipse, had 2 STi's, an EVO, and now my baby, a 500hp 95 Supra. I mean my 08 Tundra blows the doors off of the tC. Like I said though, they are great commuter cars and with the reliability of a Toyota, it will run forever.

Definitely agree with you. Its too heavy to be fast, too top heavy to turn, and its platform is based off a four door. Not a bad looker and our 2az can take a heavy boosting. Its ironic how are tc's are one of the most ticketed cars

i absolutely love her, she's my first new, used, car. i was in an accident with her on friday, and i was crying over her and apologizing... yes i love cars that much lol but... i'd prolly get her fixed if she's fixable - like she is now. if totaled. i'd prolly get my RSX type S or my dream car..... Corvette Z06. <--both that will prolly never happen.. so hmm maybe i will get another tC if totaled.. but an earlier one, that way i get the better stock stereo and headlights. super white, again, or even flint mica.

this is the second post i noticed that said s2k lol. my bf has one and it's a really nice car. we were out on a 10hr drive meet last sunday and the car took sharp turns doing 75mph (in a 30mph zone) really well.
+1 on the s2k, but i like being "slow" too lol

its a ok DD but i sometimes wish i bought a mini.

part of the reason is that its silver...but at least its a manual...

also when theres weight in the back and the car becomes 50/50 weight its pretty fun to drive.

one of my brothers friends keeps telling me he's "sorry" for me getting my tc. whatever i like it and its what makes me happy. something he'll never understand. what a loser. i love my tc and i can't see myself in another car, aside from a couple high end super cars, but those are exceptions if i win the lottery here. still keep the tc though, (hell probably get another one) just have a couple other cars for fun.
