I've seen this many times, but never when I can talk mid-engine 80's 2-seater cars with him...
Just felt like sharing.

My high school swim coach had an '88 or '89 supercharged MR2.....loved that car. They are pretty difficult to find nowadays.....the MR2 didn't age well (rust, etc.).
The white one in the above picture is likely a '91 model (the most common year of the 2nd Gen MR2). I test drove a '91 MR2 turbo in 1990 (a few months after buying my first '88 Fiero GT) and was blown away by how fast it was. I paid $9000 for my GT and the new MR2 was right at $20,000.....there was no way I could afford the car payment on that so I kept the Fiero. As much as I still love the MR2, I have no regrets.....I love Fieros more.
I have a friend who bought a handful of 3rd Gen MR2's (MR2 Spyder) and while not as fast or as good looking as the previous versions, they feel like a street legal go-cart. They are a ball to drive.
