I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero's, a Z32, and an E30.

...also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don't get too bent over car stuff. I've put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

I came extremely close to owning a Toyota MR2 mk2, a car I've liked since childhood, only to discover that I am too tall to sit up straight in one. There is just straight up not enough headroom.

Mk2 is my favorite. My dad had one when I was growing up. My brother then had a mr-s until he totaled it. Now I've got a MR-S as well. I love the car. A little under powered at times, but I almost never have the top up. In the mk2, I'd probably have the t-tops off the whole time as well.

Honestly, worth it. The cars are so much fun.
