Keep things the way they are, Your Mr. 2 is something different, and the Lotus will allways be an exotic. You can beat the snot out of the Toyota, cruise around in the Lotus, and let the RX-7 take the Daily abuse.

Yeah, that was kind of my thought all along.
I have just grown an unhealthy lust for STi’s…there’s just so many at my house all the time!

I’m getting the Schmitt’s underbody coating done. And I’ll wash it anytime there’s salt on it. It won’t be a concern…

Dude, it’s a Mazda RX7, not a vintage Ferrari, who cares? I can think of VERY few cars I wouldnt drive through the winter.

Joe, I promise that if you got an STi, you would love it twice as much as you love your MR2, and maybe as much as you love the Lotus. Your heart wound would be quickly healed.

Watch it there guy! I love the MR2, nothing’s twice as good. You see, I’d love an STi, just NOT at the expense of getting rid of other cars I got. Mayyyybe the RX7, but not the other 2. And unless FC’s fucking SKY-ROCKET in value, I won’t be able to cash it in for an STi anytime soon, haha.

thats you, who obviously does not care about the snow/salt/stupid drivers…me, i see it differently…
for how much joe has ranted and raved about how mint and pristine his FC is, and now its going to romp through a buffalo winter…it doesn’t add up
is joe going to drive the lotus through the winter? the mr2? i understand its not a vintage ferrari, but for what it is, its in OUTSTANDING shape…why bother putting it through a ruff buff winter…
ya know?
bueller?

It’s just a car. That’s what insurance and regular maintenance/cleaning are for. Hell when mine broke during a rally I left it on the side of the highway in Indiana and said I’d come back for it in a few days.

Oh no not a vintage FC!
It’s metal people, nothing more just that it cost more in the fancier shapes. This should be pretty awesome to see in action.
