Lol, I didn't know this site had a chat function... guess you learn something every day! Glad you're here, enjoy the site... lots of information here, the search function works good too if you have specific questions. After all, many specific questions have been asked before, so that's a good resource. I have 3 mk1's myself (two 88's and an 86 hardtop ex-race car project that I've started turning back into a street car). I've had a few GM's myself... actually 3 Corvettes (one supercharged Lingenfelter GrandSport) and a an old Camaro, and I haven't found anything that's all-around as fun as the mk1 MR2. I love them! If you're set on an 86, make sure the one you get doesn't have the somewhat common 5th gear pop-out where the 5 speed doesn't want to stay in 5th gear while driving down the road (not cool I hear).
HERE is a link to my album of pictures, my 86 project is there as well as my 88's if you get the urge to stare at some pictures. On the plus side if these cars are maintained properly they seem to hold up really well. Occasionally really nice/clean/lower mileage mk1's show up, while some others may need a little love and attention before being ready for a good road trip.
