Terrific car.  Purchased it with 108K Km on it.  Modifications include:  bigger 
and bolder anti-sway bars front and rear, anti-roll bar rear and K&N Filtercharger.  
Air-cond doesn't work 'cause they don't recharge freon in Canada anymore.  New 
carpet, mats, and sundry other interior pieces.  Car was excellent when I got it 
and is cherry now.  Oh, except somebody keyed it - can we lobby for the death 
penalty on this?  My mistertwo sits in storage from October to March.

It's my second car, the first being a 1982 Ford Exp.  (a good car, and a great 
Wintermobile).  Fell in love wth the combination of a small displacement, 
high-revving engine plunked down into low-weight tossable chassis.  Next logical 
step was a MR2.  Searched for TWO years to find the proper one.  Picked it up for 
$9,750CDN (with two snow tires) and promptly drove it through a snowy mountain pass.  
Know that sticker that's on your visor about running with four snow tires if 
necessary?  Heed it well....this car is the absolute worst in snow.

Couldn't possibly love the car any more than I already do.  Planned future work 
includes:  replacing valve cover gasket, HKS exhaust, 16" wheels and tires, CD 
player and some new speakers, repainting to fix the key job (covered the hood, a 
headlight, and a quarter panel), tinting of all the windows ('cept the winshield, 
of course), installation of security system, rust-proofing rear quarters.

Did I mention that I love this car?  If anybody ever asks you why you bought it, 
let them drive it - I've converted three doubters into fanatics this way.
