    With all the sad news of car events being canceled going around, allow me to try and brighten your day with this. The lightweight body of a Toyota MR2, only this one has 1,000 hp courtesy of a turbocharged 3S-GTE. This is totally insane and completely dangerous and for those reasons, you have to love…

    Project “Conclusion”: 1991 Toyota MR2 “Someday Race Car”

    |

    Not all projects get the end they deserve. Not all get the end you want them to. Not all even turn out to be projects. My ill-fated MR2 was all of the above. My friend Dan and I picked up the little second-gen Toyota MR2 a few years back. We had big plans for the…

    This owner traded five Toyota MR2s for one Mazda Miata

    |

    Owning more than one example of a given car model shows that you’re a devoted fan of that vehicle. Owning five is a sign that you’re obsessed. For one retired college professor in Missouri, his vehicular devotion fell on the first-generation Toyota MR2 AW11. In fact, he set out to own one from each year of…

    Huh. Funny, isn’t it, how Project Car SOTU sneaks up on you year after year, and you’re left questioning both how much effort you wish you had already devoted to a project and how quickly time passes without you realizing it.

    It’s a situation that us car lovers fantasize over: a car somehow falls into your lap and you feel not only morally obligated, but genuinely excited, to accept it as your own.

  • 1994 Toyota MR2 brings the spring chicken yellowness

    |

    I spotted this 1994 Toyota MR2 on the parking lot of a local hardware store. Yellow cars aren’t too common here, and anything yellow is sure to stand out like an exclamation mark… in yellow. It’s only the base 152-horse 2.0GT SW20 model, but seems useable enough for targa topless summer driving.


  • Hooniverse Classic Toyota Weekend – A 1985 Toyota MR2

    |

    The Toyota MR2 is one of those cars that lights the auto enthusiasts hearts afire. This was a car that Toyota got right on the very first try. It was sporty, handled well, kinda attractive, and fairly cheap to purchase and own. While it may have not been as reliable as a Toyota, it was…
