      Funny story this reminded me of. I used to have a neighbor who owned an MR2 Spyder. Of which, he replaced all the Toyota badging with Porche ones. And because there weren't many car enthusiasts around here, most people took it at face value, which I found hilarious.

    I like how G&G takes the time to showcase the shops that help them build their cars. I've noticed over the past 5-6 years they do that. We need more of this type of "give credit were credit is due" in the automotive industry. Whether its the shop that helps them weld in cages, or Ronnie who built the 4G63, Andy with ASM & the K20 build, or the guy in VA/Maryland (forgot his name) who dyno tuned the MR2. Its a good showcase of the shops skills & moves the auto industry forward.

    I do agree that the MRS is under appreciated. I don't know why when unironically it is almost ready to track out the box, AND LOOKS GOOD, these goobers who say it looks lame can suck it. These cars are absolute BEASTS, balance it great for a mid engine, light as shit, small wheel base (which would make you think its snappier but nah she a beast), and lastly, the 1ZZ is a good ass engine that can take one heck of a beating and its simple to modify on top of that. If I didnt already spend my life savings and left kidney on my old 86 I wouldve gone with the MRS in a heart beat.
