Today we bring you a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder.

This one is mostly stock, with 55K miles on it. Mostly stock -- it does have leather and heated seats, an upgraded audio unit with touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability. It also has a rearview camera.

Other mods include front and rear strut braces and low/center cross braces. The alarm is also aftermarket.

The only real issue seems to be a scratch in the hardtop. The car also comes with the original softtop, as well.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I'm waiting to see one with the rarely selected optional CVT.

  I thought it was a "sequential manual transmission."

  That is an automated "clutchless" manual but still required the driver to hit the shift buttons. I drove one, it was interesting.
  Stick to your Hyundai Genesis and GM 3800s, Corey Day Light Opening.

42 miles a week. Are there better ways of throwing money away?

Burnbomber GM front driver A-bodies. They are the Chevy Celebrity, Pontiac 6000, Oldsmobile Ciera, and Buick Century (5th Generation). These are a derivative from the much maligned Chevrolet Citation, but they got this generation good. My 1st connection was in a daily 80 mile car pool,always riding in the back seat, in a stripper Pontiac 6000. It was a nice ride, quiet and roomy. Then I changed jobs and had a Chevy Celebrity as a company car. They were heavy duty strippers with a better than average GM feel (from F40 heavy-duty suspension option). I bought 2 ex-company cars at auction--one for my family and one for mother-in-law. They were extremely reliable, parts dirt cheap (especially in u-pulls), and simple to work on. It was the most reliable GM I've ever owned; better than my current Chevy Equinox, which will take a miracle to last as long as they did.
Slavuta Drivers in Bharat are better. Considering that rules are accepted as mere suggestions and a mix of car, bicycle, motorbike, pedestrian at the same place and time, these guys are virtuosos.

Golden2husky My HS friend's family had a Wagoneer. These SUVs, plus the next gen that replaced it, were very much front and center in affluent neighborhoods. They were a tough as an anvil, and about as sophisticated. What this poor truck was put through was a testament to how rugged it was. We needed the "emergency" switch in the glove box on more than one occasion to get moving. Sadly, he flipped it in a parking lot - going fast in reverse and cutting the wheel hard. Tons of tire squealing, then silence. It's over so I thought until we landed on the roof and front of hood. I watched the windshield shatter and we ended up on our side. Stupid things kids will do. The Wagoneer took on a decidedly TR-7 look after the rollover.
