    I’ve wanted an AW11 ever since I saw my first. Absolutely gorgeous car. Sadly I’m almost certainly too tall.

    Then again, I used to own an NA Miata for years, even though my knees came up to the sides of the steering wheel 😂 gotta have those pop-up headlights!

    I’d take either of the first 2 gen MR2 (you can keep the gen 3). Great car.

    The engineering of Toyota for a MR car.

    The MR2’s were woefully undersold. At least in my neck of the woods. Always heard they were a ton of fun. A friend of a friend put a JDM engine in his first gen and it sang very nicely.

        Unfortunately , I don’t know. It was 20+ years ago and I never got the chance ask specifics. I just remember my friend mentioning it and then hearing it drive off after a quick visit.

    Had a buddy in high school who had something similar. It was like an 84 Datsun 200 or something. Had the raddest dashboard and driver console I’ve ever seen. Tron-glam fer shure. Very cool. Great share, thanks!

      I don’t remember Datsun having anything similar to an MR2 back then, not in shape, and certainly not Mid/Rear engine.

      I looked up the 200, doesn’t remind me of the MR2. Maybe it was something else? (I’d never seen a Datsun 200, so that was a cool thing to lookup for me).
