Well according to some people on Spyderchat, the MR2 is still not a sports car, because the suspension is shitty compared to a Miata. lol

But I still miss that thing. Keeping the gas floored on the weak ass 1ZZ, open diff spinning the hell out of the rear wheels, even the back pain and hearing loss and spending 10 minutes trying to figure out how to put groceries into the frunk. I think I even miss the dead synchros, because getting the timing just right with double clutching felt really great lol.

I think the magic number for me is 2500, if any mid engined 2 seater with manual transmission comes onto the market at 2500 lbs curb weight I'll immediately trade my car in. Depreciation, cost, practicality be damned, I'll have my 2 seater.
