    Almost got wiped out by an MR2

    WOW... I feel sooo bad for the MR2, just not the driver. Speed is fun, but respect your car and other people on the road, you know? I've avoided my fair share of accidents so I always count my blessings. Thankfully you're safe!

    Keeping alive my MkIII daily driver!

    Hi everyone, It's good to be a part of a community with great knowledge and good people. I found my '90 MkIII (7M-GE) in a sales lot in December 2004 and thought it'd be a nice Christmas present to myself. Blew the head gasket the following summer and didn't have the finances nor the...
