Even little things like the Toyota Mister Two and the Honda S2000. At one point, Toyota made a Celica that looked like a 7/8ths scale 70's Mustang.

I want a small, lightweight thing with a little more than necessary horsepower and a 5 speed manual, something that's actually fun to drive in normal road conditions.

Toyota Mister Two

You've never heard someone call an MR2 that? How else do you pronounce MR2?

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Kinda like "Ehm Arr Two"? Though English is not my native language, so it might be that.

(That's how it's officially pronounced but "mister two" is more fun)

I thought that everyone pronounced it your way...

Don’t worry, the Celica is supposed to be returning soon as a new entry in the GR line.

Easily my favorite Celica model. One dude swapped a 1UZ into his. It was beautiful 🥲

60s mustang. The A20 is one of the coolest looking cars. The other during this time was the RX3. Just classy as hell.
