parking with no power steering is a good workout. espicially trying to park with 255 wide tires.

I would forget about putting all of your savings into a car. A car is absolutely the worst investment you can make. A car does not make the man.

I am not trying to be a jackass; but you need to get over your "trying to prove something" mentality. In two years, I am sure that you will regret the decision of buying an MR2 just to prove a point.

Stop caring about what the "fuckers" think.

It's like you're at the bottom of a well, and the light above you is the "Real World".

Keep clawing at the walls in vain.

One more thing to add.... if you've never driven a mid engine car before... BUY A FIERO FIRST!!!! If you can drive that for 2 years without spinning out and hitting a pole, then get an MR2.

But you don't have any money, any driving experience, and any mechanical aptitude. I'll put $100 on the fact that'll you either blow your car up or wreck it within 30 days of modding it (see tegman )
