KIDDING! I would never own a Toyota! Especially not the MR2. . .now maybe a Sequoia (but only because of the wife)!

It's a funny thing. . .we had a radio remote the other day here at my office and they were giving away a RED Toyota MR2 Spyder. I looked at it and it does not look that bad from a distance!

Of course, when you actually walk up on it, then you realize it leaves a lot to be desired! They also had a black one with RED cloth. . .same color combo as my stook!

Well the radio remote lasted about two hours and they left with the Red MR2 but they left behind the balck MR2 and requested that someone drive it back to the Toyota dealer! I thought to myself. . .great! Well, to be honest, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. . .the engine is "peppy." And that's me being nice! Nothing like our beloved Stooks!

When I pulled up to the Toyota dealership, the sales manager walked out and said to me. . ."how would you like to have one of these babies in your garage?" I replied. . ."nah, I've already got a geourgeous Honda S2000 waiting for me back at the office!"

You should have seen his face!

HaHaHa! It was great!

I like the looks of last years MR2 much better than the new one. When I was looking for a roadster I considered the MR2 - for about 5 minutes! Like Hondas, Toyotas are great vehicles. I've had a 4-Runner and it was great. They hold their value. I can't think of any car I'd rather have than the S - well, that's under $70k that is.

Current MR2 is mucho UGLY as compared to the last one. No questioning the mid-engine handling characteristics, but I simply can't forgive the exterior, it's bad. And I don't mean that in a complimentary way!

A radio remote is where a local radio station comes out and does a live "remote" broadcast featuring your place of business.

By the way. . ."SMASHING TURKEY!"

First the M-Coupe, now the MR2? I don't get it. I think both cars are GREAT! Much better looking than the behemoths driven by so many housewives populating the roadways. That friggin new Chevy that with the moving panels is an ugly pichup, and an even uglier SUV. Good lord!
