Nice ride man!
I've wanted to messs around in one of those for quite some time. I just don't know anyone that owns one. Maybe I'll try to make friends at the MR2 forum and drive their cars. :p

Justin, I'll see what I can do and we can meet up....man this car moves...defintely faster than the RX8...lot's of fun.
I do plan in autocrossing it....I'll see how many times I can spin it...I managed to spin the RX8, and that thing is very forgiving....
