It's interesting how many folks have a 2GS as a daily driver with other project cars on the side.

My history (pics included if I have them conveniently hosted already):

'86 Dodge Charger
'83 Camaro Berlinetta
'86 Olds 442
'77 Jeep CJ-7
'86 Toyota MR2
'93 Mazda 626 (was a daily while the above MR2 was a project)
'91 Toyota MR2 Turbo
'00 Toyota MR2 Spyder
'91 Toyota MR2 Turbo (too many mods to list - pictured below)
'02 Subaru WRX (300whp. Complete JDM STi conversion except for tranny)
'02 Lexus RX300 (Was wife's car)
'02 Mercedes Benz C32 /////AMG
'99 Miata (Current project. Pretty fast track car.)
'03 GS300 Sport Design (Currenty daily mule)
'06 Lexus RX330 (Current Wife's car)
