Thinking...., is it worth it? Options

[SlowCelica94]

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?

if you are in a bad climate, you really do need a 2nd car with a MR2. but it is so worth it lol, theres alot of maintanence with an older car, but i find it fun, you learn alot having to fix odd and end things, and most are pretty cheap things to fix, you learn so much about the car, and theres an incredable ammount of info on the car in the MR2OC/MR2FAQ webring. anything you could possably need is on there. The community is awesome, they put on great meets and have some really cool events every year, i havent been fortunate enough to attend one yet.

just know its a project car in its purist form, my car has by far spent more time in the garage than it has out on the road... but when you do take it out theres no better feeling.
