Even at my tender age, I realized that there was something wrong with a car that would lose traction in the rear so easily. That convertible, with a heavier, more powerful engine would be one dangerous car.

The first time I shifted the automatic stick, I cut my thumb. I guess I was too excited. That's the breaks, I didn't care about that because I was happy as a clam.

My next used car I get will probably be a small Toyota SUV so we can have a matching set. Our next car after that will probably be an electric car. The idea of getting a brand-new car terrifies me - that's way too big of a responsibility!

Do you have a local tab for "Bring a Trailer"?

No matter, sounds like you might dig one of these, but red is still cop
bait so...

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-toyota-mr2-85/

This SW20 shows 83k miles and is offered with service records, a clean
Carfax report, and clean Nevada title in the sellers name.

The mid-mounted turbocharged 2.0L 3S-GTE inline-four was rated at 200
horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 200 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 rpm when new.
The timing belt, tensioner, water pump, oil pump, and seals are said to
have been replaced in August 2020, while a replacement alternator was
installed in 2019.
