 MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74  | I've always been into quirky, unique cars, so I guess this would fill both requirements. It's a 1.6 Liter, 5 speed manual, Mid-Engined, Rear Wheel Drive 2 seater. The styling is unmistakably "80's". It has cancer in the rear quarters, a fender that looks like a 500 pound Rottweiler tried mating with it, and a cutting edge AM-FM cassette player. It's not practical in inclement weather, has 187,000 miles on it, and actually accelerates pretty decent for having 115 hp. It weighs next to nothing, and has what I would call a "frunk" (a front trunk), and a trunk behind the motor. It's funny to go into a grocery store, pop the "frunk" after I'm done buying shit, and putting the stuff where an engine would typically be. Unfortunately, thanks to ricers, I get what I'd like to call "traffic heroes" who automatically assume that I'm trying to race (even when casually driving) and I've had everything from old men in Minivans to kids in SUVS try to hotrod their cars and fly past me, only to slow down and stare at the car. BaboonAss has seen the car in person. I think that him and I are going to drinking some beers and doing some body repairs as soon as the weather is half decent. |

Because of the odd weight balancing, going from first to second actually makes the front end come up a tad--maybe not enough for the tires to be off the ground (damn suspension). The interior looks reminiscent of a Delorian, with 50's Chevy vent work. Overall a pretty decent car. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | It seems like every time I buy a import, the engine sizes progressively get smaller, as well as the size of the car. You would think that with the equation of car size being relative to penis size, that I'd be swinging the meat like John Holmes, although sadly that isn't the case; 1980 Datsun 200sx: 2 Liter I4, 100 hp 1992 Acura Integra: 1.8 Liter, 140 hp 1987 Toyota MR2: 1.6 Liter, 115 hp And they have all been red. Hell, red isn't even my favorite car color. Gotta keep the "red car cult" at my house alive though, lol. I wonder if that clown car we see at work can jump railroad tracks. I bet we could have 2 strong people "re-park" the car for that guy. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | Here are 2 crappy pics I have of the car. They aren't good quality but this will give you guys a rough idea of what the car looks like. Below is what the car should look like once it gets the TLC that it needs. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | I eventually would like to swap the 4 cylinder motor and transmission out for either a V6 Toyota Camry motor, or a Chevy 350. I've seen someone put a cadillac northstar motor into one online, but that's way too much work to go through. If I don't do the motor swap, I'm thinking of just doing the body work / paint job, and then throwing a few bolt on parts on the existing motor, tweaking the suspension, and driving it until it quits on me. The car will retain the stock appearance either way. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | ^ Just so everyone knows, here is a pic of said clown car. Disclaimer: Excuse the ghetto fabulous picture quality, pic was taken with a camera phone in low level lighting and doesn't have a flash. |

MR2Junkie Member 'Cunning Linguist' Level 21 Posts: 1,709 Submissions: 74 | ^ Truthfully, the camera phone works pretty good when there is natural light, and we had a decent amount of that when we were out. Man I don't want to go to work 2day. |

Maybe I'll get to see it when I come out this summerI'll admit the interior is small as fuck, but surprisingly, I can fit my 6'1" frame into it and my knees don't hit the dash. BaboonAss sat in the passenger seat, and if I recall correctly he is 6'3" or 6'4". As far as that clown car, the one day it pulled up at work, and BaboonAss and I were discussing if instead of a horn sound, when the guy hits the horn, that it probably laughs like Crusty the Clown from the Simpsons. |
