Also, did you do to cars and coffee this morning and what did you think of it?

I think it added $60/mo to my insurance, but I have multiple car discount, homeowners, health insurance, etc. I'm 36/male and have one speeding ticket on record.

Cars & Coffee was OK, not too many cars because of the weather, I think.

I'm not a fan of the stock tail lights - looking forward to seeing what you have cooked up :thumbup:

EDIT: Just found it - now want to see it on the car :)

Ohhh Schnapp!! That's sick! more photo's please. On a side note, are there wholes where the scion badge use to be? or is it just glue

DarrenDriven 06-06-2012 02:52 AM

Yeah, there are three small holes under the Scion badge. I'm still working out a solution, although I ordered the JDM "T" badges from Japan... but might not use them. We'll see.

I bet you miss that 86 MR2. I love the MK1s.

DarrenDriven 06-06-2012 03:03 AM

That MR2 was actually one of the biggest PITA cars I have ever owned! Haha. I bought it for $150 at the IAAI auction in Seattle. They wouldn't let me drive it off of the lot, even though I had a trip permit and insurance, so I had to rent a U-Haul and trailer... only U-Haul wouldn't rent me a truck AND trailer for a local move (because of theft problems) so I had to rent the trailer down the street at a different rental place. I FINALLY got them to load the MR2 on the trailer at 5pm on a Friday, then I pulled out of the parking lot, unloaded the MR2 and returned the rentals.

THEN it turned out that the transmission was stuck in 3rd gear! I had to drive in rush-hour stop and go Seattle traffic on 3rd gear, then when the freeway opened up I redlined that sucker all the way back to Portland.

Swapped in a used tranny, drove the car a bit and sold it on eBay to a woman in Eugene who asked me to deliver it. About ten miles shy of Eugene the head gasket blew and I had to flatbed the car back to Portland. ($$$!!!) I resold the car for MORE MONEY on eBay to a guy who needed it for autocross duty, and I managed to break even on my investment (if you don't count time). Whew.
