All boils down to a 4 cylinder Toyota

Post by MSAGRO »

I am now a proud ower of 2 4 cylinder Toyotas.Still keepin the Vibe in top shape, but I felt I needed something for the summer.It's a 1991 MR2. 2.2, same engine as a Camry of that year.It's been debadged, so many people don't know what it is.Like owning a Ferrari without the headaches or cost.Photos do not do this justice:

Oh yeah, it's 2.5 inches off the ground. Feels like a legal go kart.It was odd, after my test drive I climbed into the Vibe, and I swear it felt like a Buick LeSaber, but only for a few minutes.Very careful on the speed bumps, driving around them is best.

Im at work so I cant see pics, but I always loved the look of the 2nd gen MR2. Toyota had things going on the the early 90s. 300Z & Supra were some GREAT looking cars! What the hell happened??? LOL
