The year was 1991...

Ah what a crappy year...I spent most of it in Saudi and Kuwait breathing the oil fire pollution.

Nice Mr, shame those have been disappearing last 5 years or so.

True, whenever I see one it is riced out or just beat to death.

What a sexy vert! Ditch the volvo lip and black kidneys though! MR2 is sweet too! I have always wanted one.

I told her I tried but it didn't sell and she seemed OK with that. I may need to try again sometime, but if she is happy for the time being, all the better.

Grats on living the dream, I had a first generation Mr. it still is one of my top 3 favorite cars ever owned.
so I guess we are the new generation of collectors here buying the cars we couldnt afford in our youth ;)

I wonder if my early model will fetch hemi-cuda prices in another 5-10 years?

that would be tight.

People were not putting Volvo lips on e30's in 1991...

Great story it's inspirational, one day I'll hopefully own my very own Audi S4 biturbo. Been my favorite car since 2000 (I was 6 lol) and since they are in the vicinity of 12,000 it looks like it will be sooner rather than later.

That MR-2 is tits as well.

Great story.

I love your 'vert, I had decently hi-res pic as my background a couple weeks ago. Almost looks like a coupe.

[jasonsnoddy]

Every time i see a modded mr2, i want one.

This thread is inspiring. I remember lusting after E30s and MR2's aswell... oh wait, I still do.

A little vintage MKII MR2 racing action to help with the trip down memory lane (JGTC GT300)

Be sure to watch at least through the 3:00 mark.

I own a Mk1 MR2. Love it. You don't know how many people have come up to me with some nostalgic memory of that car in high school. The year was 1991 when my dad bought a used convertible 87 E30 for $15k. I was 15 when I first drove it. I was hooked after that.
