Hello all!
About two and a half months ago, I got a new job in premium food delivery. I drive a 1996 Toyota Corolla that's been extensively modified with very rare parts, so I worried about it getting damaged every day. It got to the point where I didn't want to work in it anymore, it was simply scary. So I went on a search for a good delivery beater. And somehow, I purchased a 2000 MR2 Spyder. It had a 5 speed manual transmission, 114k miles on it, a recent tune up, a new battery, a new stereo, an alarm with proximity sensor, and a brand new soft top. I couldn't resist! Such a tiny car would be perfect for driving around SF and parking in the worst of spots, and the 1ZZ is reliable and fuel efficient. I didn't want to leave the Toyota family, so I was thrilled about this car.
A few small issues, some peeling clear coat on the front bumper, and really yellow headlights but the price was great.
This is her about half an hour after I paid:
Now, I had only had an hour of practice driving manual on a private road at under 20 MPH in a Mini Cooper S, who's clutch didn't leave me at all confident. Suddenly I buy a manual car and am tasked with driving it home about an hour through traffic and over a bridge. That was a fun experience, but as soon as I felt the Toyota clutch, I fell in love. Such a nice clutch feel, and so easy to drive! Got home without a single stall or any sort of hard jerking.
My dog hates cars, but immediately fell in love.
