I really like my 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo. Looks and handles like a super car for a fraction of the price. 5K for a rust-free example in decent shape and another 20K to make it whatever you want in terms of speed. 

I also really want to enter, but doubt my ride has a legitimate shot at winning in any of those categories

I own a 1991 MR2 Turbo and love the thing. Do yourself a favor and stop waiting for a new model that might never come or makes the same mistakes as the Spyder (no offense). A decent 1991-1995 MR2 Turbo can be had for $8,000-$10,000 and replacement/performance parts can be found with ease.

I don’t disagree that it is more difficult for men online but it is far from impossible. I moved to a new city for work 5 years ago and okcupid was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. The key is not being lazy. I am far from classically handsome but I easily went out with at least 50 different girls within…
