So the more i think about getting a 3s, i also think, "maybe i should just buy an MR2 turbo.". Look at it like this. I could net 5k for my celica, easily. It'll cost $3k to swap ($1,000 for labor, round $2k for clip and accessories). So if I just saved the 3S cash and sold the Celi, I could buy a MR2 turbo. Then I'd have rwd over fwd, and mid engine.

Pros: Mr2 is sexier, stock for stock, imo
RWD, mid-engine
t-tops

Cons: horrible winter driver.
I don't think mr2s can be built to look as sexy as a celica. Celicas can look so diverse.
Insurance will jump.
2-seater.
Limited space, my college is an hour away from my hometown where my gf and parents are. Can't carry too much.

These are just some things I was pondering on. What'd you guys think? Is it worth it to have rwd, baby ferrari (looking), 3s powered car? Or do i stick with the celi, be as fast as mr2turbos, and look really diverse, still with low insurance and winter driveablilty?
