    I can’t remember where it was but the best review I ever read of the orig. MR2 started with, “Imagine a Fiat X19 built by people who give a shit.”

    I had a second gen 3sge hardtop. And a 1zz turbo spider i miss both dearly.

    That mk1 with the supercharger is truly special.

    Now a days I slow roll a gx460 overlander but eyeing a Supra or GR Corolla. I miss going fast.

      The mr2 will always remain special to me.

      I keep looking back at getting a 80s/90s JDM something but 1) they’re soooooo fucking expensive now and 2) I’m all in on EV and I feel like I’d be taking a step back for a gas car. Plus EV performance is just so much better I’d be like, why am I doing this?

        I plan to keep a gas car for fun when I eventually go EV.

        I’m waiting for a proper Lexus or Toyota EV. Although their plug in hybrids are looking enticing. I have another few years for my kids to get out of their car seats so I have some time.

          To me, I’m like “why”

          My Tesla is faster than any car I’ve ever owned. Including modded turbocharged mr2 and rx7s

          ¯_(ツ)_/¯
