On a DAILY basis you carry at least two cloths
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

You refuse to sell your spare
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(and ugly!) front trunk-lid
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'Firebird' emblem, because you think it's a cool work desk paperweight.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
15.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Your wife wants to try SCCA Solo II but is afraid she'll hurt the MR2, to which your reply is that you have spares of everything so
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'go for it'.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
16.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You and your wife are arguing over who gets which MR2 that day, because you are either both in the

You're sure you had more hair before you started worrying if a bulk order of boost controllers made it to the States or not.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
21.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You dig it out of the snow even though you're not going to drive it.

26.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The Toyota parts department calls you, looking for part they need now for a project, and don't want to wait to get it from the warehouse.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
27.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You feel that Toyota should have built a particular engine/body-style combo.

And do something about it.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
28.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
You can't decide between a Mk I and Mk II, so you have both

Being able to spot an MR2 just from almost everywhere.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
For example, driving past a parking lot with lots of cars and just one MR2: what do you see in the glimpse of driving by?
31.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
If you spot a parked MR2
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(which you haven't seen before) pull up next to it, put a note under the wiper inviting the owner over to the next MR2-meeting
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Use heel'n toe and last minute braking on your way to work
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- every day, on the same road you drive every day
41.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Downshifts and avoid braking in turns that other cars need to brake to get through
42.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
43.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Gets in your car every morning with that same happy feeling.
