Too bad I can't change my username to "GuywithanAE86andanMR2"...oh well, too long winded.

So yeah after dealing with the 8-6's radiator taking a crap on me plus the insane mileage on my Corolla, I just decided it's time for a new daily.

Well "just". I've actually had this car for a couple months now and I keep forgetting to post it lol.

I picked this beast up for 6 grand, and it's only got 110k miles on it. It's basically the AW11 MR2, but better in every single way. It's really sad this car doesn't get the credit it deserves. It may look kinda girly, but there aren't many alternatives to light little mid-engined cars like this :)

Nice! The ZZW30 really doesn't get the credit it deserves. It is the lightest and has the best chassis of the 3. Plus all the panels bolt on! Yes, the rear quarters are bolted on!
 
It really doesn't. I've driven the other two, and I like this one the most out of the MR2's. This one's just got perfect handling, and with the fatter tires in the back, the car's gonna have a much harder time snapping on you than one of the earlier MR2's would :)
 
Yeah I've spun out in my SW20 turbo a couple times. I haven't had a chance to drive a Spyder yet, but I've driven 2 N/A AW11s.
