Back when I was 16 I remember selling Tomogochi's (JDM giga pets) at different malls like Montclair, Ontario, Irvine, etc. It was probably the easiest job I had, as they pretty much sold themselves. What was cool, was that I made enough to buy myself a 91 MR2 turbo. I remember going with Andy down to Hollywood and picking it up. After hours of trying to work a deal, around 9pm the car was mine. Half way home on the 60, Andy hits his hazards, and pulls over on the freeway. "wanna go to the street races?" "sure." That night was probably one of the best nights of my life. It was the begining, first night really driving stick, and first night at Etiwanda in my own car. Launching like a dumbass at 6,000rpm, and thinking I'm a fucking "racer". I beat a white DA GSR with a K&N intake and a flowmaster that night, and shit, it may be small pickins, but gimmie a break, it's 1996.

[What it became in 98: Built motor, FRD widebody, Kandy lime gold paint, show fag spec.]
So I eneded up selling the car shortly after and was never satifsfied since the shit was cursed with problems (purely my ingnorance of maintenance) and rarely ran. I guess I was trying to re-live some part of my youth in buying another MR2 recently. I'm sure many of you feel the same way about the first car you owned, and I plan on cruising this thing with Su when we're 50.

[Don't let it fool you, this shits beat! Zip tied bumper, bad wiring, krylon paint. Not to mention, I'm not a fan of this BA Baracus A-Team shit.]

Thanks to Troy, Eric, Pete, and Rob, the car is back in healthy shape. With less than 500 miles on a freshly built motor, ugraded turbo, IC, fuel system, tune, etc., the car is ready to go, and currently on a truck to Chicago. I'm pretty excited for it to arrive, as I haven't had a turbo car in a while. With the engine out of the way, now I can start making the bitch lighter, stiffer, and a bit prettier.

[Cosmetic shit stacking up in the house.]
