Naw, just don't buy a NEW one. :) I have fucked with a few dealers using my dad's E46 M3 while my friend was looking to buy a Mazdaspeed6 (also used it to get a test-drive on the new 5.0 Stang and 135i, hehehe). But yeah, most "classy" dealerships are major douches

My 89 MR2. Mint body, spun crank bearing, $800. Bought a 3S-GTE for $600, need another $1200 in parts, and She'll be up and running :D

Ah, I see, you're numbers are the 2013+ models - 09-12 was 210/turbo, 306/V6 on the Gen Coupe (I have a customer with a 2010 Coupe, was working on that car yesterday actually). But nonetheless, I wouldn't consider it nor the mustang to be "economical" nor "Small displacement". More of a Grand Tourer on a budget

weight. also, the 2.0T only has 210 hp...

93-01 it was possible, but incredibly rare (my boss flipped out when he saw mine). afterwards, not sure, but doubt it was any easier to get

Try an AW11 ;) Think mid-engined AE86

Agreed on camry love - there's something about the 90's camries, the combination of quality, finish, performance (v6) and unassuming looks. It's why I love mine, while nobody else seems to understand other than camry owners

Haha maybe from the previous owner - I bought mine last summer and it's sitting on sawblades.

Where's the civics? I dont get it...

oh, we love it just fine, it's actually still running!

Wow, looks exactly like mine! Although, I dunno, I wouldn't say there's much smuggling space (or space at all, for that matter) in a Mk1... Maybe if you hide something behind the radio? or under the arm rest...

agreed. the Commentariat are starting to become un-Jalopnik...

I'd say Skrillex is alright. Granted, it's dubstep, but if you like techno, then it's not a far reach. Gaga/wayne/minaj on the other hand... I can belch out better music than that

naw, but the ammount of brown/sandy hell jokes certainly will!

You can sleep with a blonde... You can sleep with a brunette... But you'll never get any sleep with a REDHEAD!

There were 2 versions. Lotus used the 2ZZ, which was the sportier engine (and same as the Celi/MRS) - Toyota's still using the 1zz for the matrix and corolla though, iirc

I'm pretty sure my 3S-GTE weighs only marginally less...

I'd say NP, only because you can part out the boxster, plus I'd love to fit that V8 into my MR2...

Holy shit! That's barely recognizeable...

I know what you mean. But I'm still curious as to what he was driving (so I know whether to laugh, shake my head, or not give a shit)
