Before my 1st MR2 i had a .......

Before i had the 92 MR2 turbo i had a 84 Volvo 240 Turbo NOT INTERCOOLED , what a joke and was automatic too LOL. Then after 4 months i got a 05 corolla S automatic again.....put celica GT-S rims red calipers and drop it to the ground,K&N cold air intake system and some ECU mods but still is S L O W 16.5 in the 1/4 mile.

So i was thinking what where your cars ppl let me know

I had a 93 Acura Legend GS, first car, automatic, had a few paint problems and such, but it was comfortable, fast when I needed it to be, and it was mine. It died T-boning a Camry doing an illegal U-turn. I now drive an Integra that was a GSR until it was stolen, now its just a broken LS =\ I am in the process of saving for a new car because I had graduated from highschool and my dad wanted me to get a new car, so the MR2 is at the top of my list right now. I have $1,100, and only need 3-4K more to get one, but I'm afraid of getting a lemon.

I had a 91 Chevy S-10. Absolutely NO options. No A/C, vinyl seats, 100 degree summers...you do the math.

Now I've got a 92 n/a deuce and wouldn't give it up for the world. (but maybe a Ferrari F430)

Canada

Bought a 70 Duster when I was fifteen, couldn't even drive it yet. I started to rebuild with my dads hands on help. The engine was way over done making about 340 HP I was still in School and only working at McDonald's at the time so I could'nt afford the gas for it... so I parked it and got the 91 na. The only differance now is I can't afford the Toyota parts
