Poor MR2.

I owned one of these for a couple of years, GT V6, 6 speed. The engine was much better if you just let it breath with basic intake and exhaust upgrades. Once I did that it was on par with a Civic Si. Mine was red on black leather, and really well equipped for the time and considering the price. I used to have kids…

And I, at Detroit.

My god do I want a Tibby.

Mostly just so I can beat on it, then after I kill the engine, put in a decent V6 or V8 (of Mopar origin, look at my username for why), and convert it to RWD to make it an old counterpart to the new Genesis coupe.

But wow, did those post-bubble-eye Tibbys look good.

I remember hearing a story about how this car got into the movie.

Good for him, I like that's he's humble and smart enough to rock an ordinary car and keep it running for years to come rather than blow it on a supercar that he could total any day. Although he could upgrade to a Cosmo, lol.

I developed a taste for them after finding an orphaned bottle of gin in a hotel parking lot one time. As I'm typing this, I'm realizing just how sketchy the situation sounds...

UK Safety Regs required lights to be visible when the "boot" was open. The decklid mounted lights made for a much larger loading opening, but violated that reg. Got this from the link below. Not verified.

Our own Bugattatra wrote another excellent "Dear Honda" letter a while back. It's another great read on his site AutoNeuroticFixation.
