    I fucking love that video, I have abused quite a few yotas in my days. I have an 86 MR2 that just won't die, my friend called me up to help him "put her down in a blaze of glory" to quote him.
    I tried my best to do so on the gravel roads by my house, which I know like the back of my hand. I drove that little fucker 10/10 for honestly 15-20min (I should mention that it has absolutly no exaust, and this was on Thanksgiving day) with Eric following me in my Tacoma. the little bugger was holding up to being ass sideways at 70000+RPM for that long when it died, I was a bit disapointed, I was hoping for a blown HG or rad, pistons sticking out of the block, or a fire if I was lucky. Oh well we hooked the tow strap to my truck and headed home.
    I wish I would have gotten some pics of the looks on the faces of the 3-4 families sitting outside getting drunk when the red MR2 that just ripped by being on the wrond end of a tow strap. we got quite a few friendly waves and toasts.
    The best part is on the way home she fired back up and made it home on her own power. I couldn't help but to buy her.
    fucking thing fires up every time no prob, granted its a BIT loud for the street but it is a ball on wet grass. i should post up some pics sometime.

        I had a 79 truck with the 20r engine and it was completely unkillable as well. I don't think I changed the oil for 2 years. The exhaust manifold came loose and set the engine compartment on fire, the axles bent. But man, it still went. I finally gave it up when I moved back from Colorado. I still miss it.
