Oh, I hate that for you. That's a terrible stray to take care of... you should sell it to me and not burden yourself. Honest. :D
(Congrats, you lucky dog, you!)

Oh, how I loved mine that I bought in 2000 and sold in 2004. I would have liked to keep it but unemployment at the time necessitated the sale.

In reply to oldtin:
Thanks, I have been working on it for a few years now. It is getting close to being finished enough to enjoy it. I just moved out to the beach as well so it will be a great vehicle this summer.

Now I just need to decide which vehicle to keep. I only have so much room. I have already decided that I am selling the CJ7 in the above picture and keeping the Bronco, but I greatly complicated the situation when I purchased the MR2. I would love to keep both it and my B13 SE-R but my wife is only so leniant ;).

One of these would complete my 80's Toyata collection!
Awesome buy, be careful of that LTO!

Very (very) nice! I'm not sure if I've ever seen that color before either.
You should tell us about your B13. Maybe we can ease your pain...

I think the color is red but it could be the rarer Orange Mica Pearl. Cool color that really does not photograph all that well.

B13 vs SC MR2 is really a no-brainer. MR2 wins.

Lets see the wife. Then we can help you make the decision. Seriously, something sparkley may help.
I guess if something HAD to go, let it be the Jeep. -

I had one just like that! Same color and supercharged. I had some 5 star American racing rims though, but yours look nicer! If you want good gas mileage drive without letting the 'Supercharged' light come on, if you want to have fun, try to burn the light out!

That is the problem, selling cars is my side job. I actually bought the MR2 to resell. The problem is I miss my old Mr2 and this one is probably the nicest one I will ever find.
The B13 is a 1994 SE-R. It is basically an ITA car, that I have yet to get a log book for. It has a Kirk Racing weld in cage, double adjustable Koni's, Ground Controls, GC camber plates, ST sway bars, Carbo tech brakes, extended wheel studs, header, intake etc...
The problem is it is now useless for anything other then road racing, track days or autox and it sits around a majority of the time. My thinking is if I keep the MR2 I can at least drive it around in addition to auto-x and track days.
