Angry AaaaaaaAAAAAAHHHH, SH*T!!!

After everything I've done on the MR2, after all the work, all the late nights, what have I done?

I stripped the f*cking oil plug.

DAMN IT.

I suppose I could just find a larger plug and tap out a new hole, but I'm also just looking for a pan.

good deal yeah. my other vechile got totaled by a bunch of a holes(vandalism) it was a blazer. my wife kind of wants a newer mr2 like a 2003. is this a good or bad idea? i want a new legacy gt, new maxima or a audi tt s-line. she digs the audi but claims the legacy just looks like a normal car. i want my old 300zx tt back. it will probly never happen do to the prices soaring after selling. my goal is to make the svx compete cause it is very fun to drive just with a little less horsies.

I can't tell you whether or not an MR2 is a good idea for you. But you and your wife should be aware that the Spyders have literally no cargo space. The front is taken up by the spare and there is no trunk in the back. There's a little cubby hole behind the seats and that's it.

Also, in Alaska, I can't imagine an MR-S is really appropriate for your weather. I was happy with my Mk1 in the snow here, but there's no way I could have driven it in VT, where I used to live.

North Pole, huh? A friend of mine grew up there.

To make things worse, he was home-schooled.

Good luck finding the right car.
