My most memorable time was the first time I drove my MK2 Turbo and heard the turbo spooling behind me.

I've had very memorable serious accidents ... also, my fiurst 12 second pass ... my first 11 second pass ... crazy moments on the hillclimbs ... different chicks naked in the passenger seats of various MR2s ... the first time I saw my turnk-mounted intercooler set up ...

hell, I remember the first time I saw a MKII in person ... back in 1991.

Even though I dont own one, my most memorable moment was when I came SO VERY close to getting a 93 turbo, and then the insurance company denied my offer. Heart-breaking, but still my most memorable.

Ok here is an interesting and slightly iron story:

I had been saving for an MR2 for years (other kids bought baseball cards and paintball guns and i just kept saving, i was in love <3) for an MR2, and i was close to finally being able to start looking into purchasing one. So i began looking on the internet for a decent one to buy, after finding a mint condition black mr2 with t tops (exactly what i wanted) on ebay i was jumping up and down showing it to my parents, knowing that they have never acted on an impulse before in my lifetime...

I had come home from wrestling practice/school kind of tired and depressed from cutting weight. My parents were acting sort of strange, standing in our kitchen. My daad told me to go get him a coke from the garage (i was tired and was talking back under my breath i remember), so i proceeded and got the coke out of the fridge in the garage without even noticing the 1991 Black manual NA MR2 that i had seen on the internet every day up until then!! On my way back into the house i noticed it out of the corner of my eye

One of the most exciting days of my life. My parents had gone to PA to pick it up the night before... they said they were going to a friends party.

Either that is the most memorable moment or... ummm.... when my dad destroyed it (a bit ironic).

man there are soo many to pick from...

i think my most memorable moment was the first night I drove my car after the V6 swap...sitting at a light next to my brother (in his 92 civic hatch) with a 350z behind him...my brother tells me to launch it a lil bit to see what it looked like taking off...i launched at the red light and pulled forward just a few feet to a stop..."damn" he said "its close to pulling the front end"... the guy starts revving up..haha...so the light turned the green arrow and we both took off (me and my bro chaseing the 350) I hit first gear soo hard i had to let off to make the corner! had no front traction to turn! threw it to 2nd and dumped the cluch kicking it sideways and passing the 350 through the corner! made the guy feel really bad...he had just gotten passed by a 87 MR2, full of rust that was 3 different colors...haha!

I LOVE MY MR2!
