I'm a sucker for anything around 1985-1995. That sort of intermediate era where the square-bodies of the 70s were still hanging around but the under-hood technology was finally getting to be not shit. The overall market was super competitive so a bunch of manufacturers were trying zany interesting designs that led to a ton of variety, birthing such things as the rx7/miata, fiero, crx, etc...
Toyota’s MR2 and Supra are icons of this era. Basic, reliable fuel injection and electric ignition is easy to keep running.
god I'd kill to have an MR2. Not in any place to be buying extra projects though
my #1 dream car is the 1st gen MR2. everything about it is just perfect (except for the typical toyotas being weak-winded).
but i'd also settle for a 3rd gen as a daily.
the 2nd gen didn't really resonate that much with me, despite it literally being the best one.
