Picked up another car.. 94 Toyota MR2 Turbo

I've been looking at MR2s for a very long time and for whatever reason it just never worked out. This time, it finally did. I picked up a 94 SMG Turbo from Portland and drove it back to Tampa, FL over 5 days. The car def needs some things fixed here and there. Cruise control did try to kill me (more on that later). Otherwise, it's a pretty solid car and I'm happy with it so far


The MR2 has a Gen3 swap but is fairly stock otherwise (intake, exhaust, intercooler, downpipe).


Some random pics of the car and the drive home. iPhone pics, some are messed up in orientation, too lazy to rotate...


Left the M3 sitting in the airport for awhile.. over a week..



Flying to PDX...



Drinking at Deschutes



First time driving it



Dyno at KO:

Finally home...



Long term the BRZ is going away and the MR2 will take over the weekend/occasional driver usage.. no car payment.. more power.. no nannies... should be eligible for collector car insurance so insurance should be less than 1/3rd the cost.
