    2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder. Bone stock except for a LSD I dropped in when a bearing grenaded in the transaxle. It was my daily driver for a long time.

    2003 Subaru WRX. It was my daily before the MR2, but I blew the head gaskets around 200k miles and got the MR2 while I rebuilt it. It’s now lifted, running a 2.5l ej25 with the stock 2.0l heads. It’s become my fun car that I use to tow stuff with and take out when the snow makes the 2-seater convertible impractical.

    But now we mostly drive my girlfriends 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid. It’s bare bones low end model, but she likes it.

      Excellent taste. I had a silver bugeye, one of the prettiest cars ever in my opinion. Was my first actually fast car. Those MR2s are rad as well, poor man’s Elise. I’m a Miata driver, they feel like kin.
