That was it. My company's studio is in those Wild Goose buildings on Summit.

The ricer look was fun for awhile, but the stock look, or I guess slightly modified look does a lot more for me. Also, the front and rear bumpers from the bodykit got a little crunched from separate incidents... neither my fault, and both purely cosmetic, but the money from the insurance allowed me to do this a lot sooner than I had planned

Hello All, About a year ago, I posted pics of my 1991 MR2. It was riced out pretty badly, as seen below: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/DSCF1268.jpg There was a lot of hate, but no surprises there. But, to the dismay of many, I made it through the oven. Over the last year, I removed the body kit and stickers, and got my MR2 repainted. Figured I would put it back up on the chopping block so you all could see my progress: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/IMG_0792.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/IMG_0085.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/DSCF6175.jpg http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/nickleyw/MR2/June%2020%202010%20Goodbye%20Stickers%20and%20Bodykit/IMG_0312.jpg Yes, that front trim piece is missing... it's supposed to have a side marker light in it too. I am waiting for new pieces, without any light, to ship. Next steps? (1) Replace the faded "racing" seats with the stock ones, or better aftermarket seats. (2) Fix the a/c (3) Sound system + something I can plug my mp3 player into.

Your mom is strong if she's already fought this 6 times and won. Yes, it sucks that it's come back again, but you need to be the kind of supporter your mom was for you! Give her the energy she needs to pull through again! Prayer heals, and your family will be in mine.

Ha, didn't know you were on here too. QSL is great, also made it to a couple o drives.

yeah, a 6 page intro... I have a good idea about what it takes to "make it" here. Thanks for the burn, it actually feels kinda good to hear all the stuff your friends won't say... flavor flav gets roasted. To all you other n00bs, don't be afraid to post and roast... it doubt it gets any worse than this!

Thanks for pointing out the sarcasm, I definitely wouldn't have caught that on my own! (/sarcasm) I know that there are plenty of other cars, both foreign and domestic, that have more potential than an mr2. BUT, the mr2, especially the 3sgte, has potential. And, as I'm sure your racing people know, there is more than one type of racing. Obviously an mr2 won't ever be king of the drag strip. But, with a mid engine, and the right suspension mods, rubber and engine mods they can make great track cars. I also know that most of you actually DO care about more than the looks of a car... it's performance. I'm merely trying to get at what you're overlooking, and that is the driver, and any potential he has. My hometown is near Cleveland, I know what you're talking about. But, there are other ends to this spectrum. Performance is one, to be sure. Total all-out ricer is another, to be sure. I would also say that mint stock is another. You guys show little respect. And I'm sure you could all stand to learn a little from the other ends as well.

I disagree, there are a lot of mr2's out there with a stock look that have plenty of racing potential. And plenty that have reached that potential. I hate big non-functional wings and strobes... I'm sure most people can find something to like about some of the cars in the fnf movies. And so what if part of me likes the way it looks? And GonneVille, if you would have read more carefully, you would have seen several reasons that you didn't mention for why I am choosing to leave my car the way it is for now. Only cool people have negative rep. Thanks, and come again. It's clear that most of you don't give a shit about anything other than how a car looks. Once you see it, your minds are made up. What about the driver? I'm willing (maybe less willing than before) to learn what you guys can teach me... everyone can teach something. Once you get past all of the personal preference bullshit, maybe you can teach me a thing or two about RACING instead of trying to bully me off these forums with your crude and one-sided comments. You want your chance to "educate a ricer"? Then do it, and do it in a way that you actually think will make me want to listen.

e-thug, that's about right. u ninja, no hard feelings man... that was fun to sum it all up: people here consider my car rice rice is bad some people think my car has potential if I go back to stock I want to leave it "rice" because part of me likes it and because the other part of me has no money to spend on it right now the parts of fast n furious I like are the cars, not the bad acting or unrealistic criminal racing crap... that's just entertainment, not real life, obviously unicorn ninja is an e-thug, not that there's anything wrong with being an e-thug unicorn ninja is fun to e-argue with V8 BEAST is just hilarious I think I like it here

Sweet dreams (because you couldn't have them without my permission), have a great day at your success-bringing job, and give your girl a kiss from me!

Well, since UNinga wants a break, I suppose I can grant that. It was good while it lasted, everyone can put their pants back on and go home.

Winner. (just wait, the response will come) (or not, which is just as well)

I wouldn't know if you're successful, or if you're smarter than I am. Especially since your definition of success is surely different than mine. Oh, and I misspoke. I don't pity you, I pity everyone that has ever met you since your mind has been in the state it's currently in. I'm sure you weren't always this crude. And ignorant you most definitely are! You don't know me. All you think you know is based on what I've typed. Does that also make me ignorant, nope. I don't presume to actually know anything about you... I just type to make your type angry and entertaining for the rest of us.

I'm glad to see that someone can see something positive. And right now, I'm sure that most of the cars out there could take mine in a straight line... it's just the 2.2L 5sfe. Good gas mileage tho.
