Gen1 So I was in the drive thru last night...

And the passenger in the truck in front of me, gets out and comes over to ask if they could take a picture of my MR2. She said her friend has had one or used to have one just like it and would cry if she saw the picture. I let her take it then got to eat my Jack In The Box.

I have owned several cars, none of which have gotten the attention that my MR2 does. Other MR2 owners in town look at it when I drive by, and I look at theirs too. Lol.

Has this happened to anyone else?

i miss jack in the box... bacon and chedder potato wedges were the shit.

when i first got my car in SoCal... people used to come up to me asking me what year and when i said 91... they wouldn't believe me. they thought it was like a 2005.

the city i live in now is 80,000 people, and i think i have the only MR2 probably in the county.

I wish we HAD a Jack in the Box in this State!!!
Yeah, people find it hard to believe mine is a '91 too. The MR2 has a cool, timeless look.

That we do.

Keep on bringing on the stories of people's reactions to your 2's and some of the weirdest things said to you about them.

Its funny hearing what other people have said.

my wife has a modified 86/red/wingless aw11..... she can see it from where she works and just about any time an MR2 comes into the parking lot they park next to her..... she's also seen a few people take photos of it and also has had people come in asking for the owner of the MR2..... unfortunately my ae86 sr5 gets more attention
