Other youtubers buy chrome wrapped tasteless supercars, Mr. Regular gets something classic yet obtainable.

My parents forbade me from buying a car when i was younger. They thought i'd crash it or something. this was in 2007 or so, and i found an aw11 on craigslist. I paid 1000 for it, and parked it down the street so my parents wouldn't know. I miss that car, so much. I wish i had never gotten rid of it. by FAR the most fun car i've ever driven.

Many of us TOTALLY called this LOL Idk why but I feel so genuinely happy that you got an MR2, I usually don't feel this way for you tubers mainly because I don't know them personally, but for you it's different, I honestly feel extremely happy for you and I hope this car does you well. You out of everyone, deserved this, enjoy my youtube friend, enjoy

"It's just so clean, I don't want to do anything to it. I hardly drive it" As an owner of two '85 MR2s, this makes me sad. The MR2 is a car that very well deserves to be driven. You can still maintain it at the current quality and drive it as much as you like..

5:15 That part when Mr Regular explained why he bought it, sometimes that's all the reason you need. It could be a supercar or just a banged up family saloon, if it's special to you then you'll enjoy every single moment with it. True car enthusiasts don't just go for the flashiest or fastest thing out there, just the one that means the most to them ^^

" I AM GOING TO LISTEN TO VAPOR WAVE IN HERE " Oh, my god. I laughed so uncontrollably hard. Love you Mr.Regular, and your music taste

AND now it is December 2017 , second ower is ready to sell this gem! Good luck to the third owner, you have a rare piece of history...

Roses are red violets are blue when most youtubers get rich they buy a gtr whereas Mr.Regular bought an MR2.

Does that mean that you're Mr. 2 now? CONGRATS!

Headlights go up. Headlights go down.

ALL THIS AND HE NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT AGAIN AND SOLD IT. LOGIC.

Just bought an MR2 AW11 with my best friend for $800 with no engine. We're going to attempt to put in a Camry V6 and hope to God it fits. It looks like love at first sight and I can't wait to turn the key.

Mr. Regular, with all due respect please have fun with that car. The thing is not much more than metal, rubber, plastic, and glass. These things can be repaired, if cruising it makes you happy then by all means cruise. What I'm trying to say is don't feel scared to have fun because it's rare, or because it's nice. Don't worry about those arbitrary details, have fun.

This is a man who just bought his dream car, and it is awesome! Congrats Mr.Regular! Well done sir

This video reminded me so much of how I feel about my car. I bought a 1996 Ford Probe off a craigslist auction and it belonged to an old man. That car is the embodiment of a 90's car. it looks fast even though it's slow, it's too heavy for a car that size and it's FWD it tries to be futuristic even though it's old school, heck with pop up headlights and swirly 3 spoke rims you can't get more 90's than that. Driving that car brings me back to my childhood and always puts a smile on my face. With 76 K original miles and amazing condition I intend to drive that car as long as I can.

OMGOMGOMGOMG! I'm about to get a red AW11 with 90k miles myself. It's been a dream car of mine for a couple years, and I'm so excited for the experience.

Great job, buddy! Enjoy it!

I can see RCR cruising with this MR2 down I-476 toward the PA Turnpike Superhighway, listening to FM Attack "Sleepless Nights" wearing mirrored aviator sunglasses and a pastel blazer.

I am so happy for you man, ever since watching your reviews of the two MR2's you did I knew how much you loved them. Congrats!

Being the guy that let you review my AW11...i could not be more happy for you. I recall very well how excited you were to review my MR2, so i know how special of moment this is for you. Congrats man!

I've always been totally fascinated by mid-engine cars, which are exotic and weird and almost unheard of in the poor parts of the midwest. When I was a kid, my dentist had a Delorean. I thought the MR2 and the Fiero were rare, special cars. And now they are.

M A C I N T O S H P L U S is all you need Mr. Regular

Watching your videos for so long this makes me really happy to see. You do a lot of good for car culture Mr. R, congrats on the new ride, enjoy it!

NOT A CAR... Its a spaceship

"Value city to buy pants for 3 hours" gave me flashbacks. aaaggghhh

Man I miss my 86 mr2. Mine was similar but black with 220k miles and rusted out. Bought it for $600. Spent $200-300 to get it inspection ready. Drove it for a few months till one of the front suspension bar mount broke and the front passenger wheel and hub popped around while driving. The wiper linkage broke before that so I just used rainx 😂. Loved that shifter. I don’t remember the terrible drone noise. I do remember people’s headlights being right in my “backseat” at night. Loved that car, thanks for sharing!

Congrats on the Mr2 Mr. Regular. You're original Aw11 Mr2 video inspired me to get one, It took some digging but I ended up getting a barn find that needed an engine rebuild which was a fun learning experience. I've since fallen head over heels for mine and I don't think I'll ever sell it. They're a blast to drive and as much as you should preserve it, please enjoy it too.

Thank you for uploading at 4:00 so I can be entertained with insomnia

I still regret not rescuing a mostly mint, totally complete AW11 from a local pick and pull yard. Even if the engine was shot, it didn't deserve that fate.

haha I love these cars too! when I was in the 5th grade my dad purchased a used 87 and when I turned 12 he taught me how to drive it in the Kmart parking lot and then eventually let me drive it on desert roads before I was old enough to drive :D super fun car! in 95 the mk1 had seen the end of it's life with like 28000 miles on it so he bought a 93 mr2 and I got to drive that one when I got my license... I used to take him to work in the morning then use it all day then go get him after work. Both were super fun cars ... the mk2 wins in the looks department for sure but the mk1 had that "you are connected with the car" kind of feeling and the 7500 rpm redline just screamed! the mk2 was more of a mid range power band car. I'm into classic Toyotas when I was a kid I also wanted a 4runner so I bought one last year completely rebuilt the engine, ignition system, fuel system, suspension and all that and now it's my daily driver but I kind of want a sports car too ... always loved the Celica as well so I'm torn between and Mr2 and a Celica Alltrac .... alltracs are hard to find though and the Mr2 is probably more attainable. Toyotas from the 80's and 90's are some of the best cars every designed! congrats on the Mr2 man that thing is clean!

I was so happy to see this pop up in my youtube feed. I purchased an 88 MR2 Mk1b in februrary with more miles than yours but the guy was the original owner. been loving it ever since. I had my eye on them for years as a nostalgic piece of my childhood and your videos on the AW11 convinced me that i should go for one. Congrats on the find and thanks for all the wonderful content!

Welcome to the world of AW11 ownership. I have to admit your palpable enthusiasm for everything that is the mr2 was one of the factors that really made me want to not give up on mine. Thanks Mr. Regular.

This was great! My second car was a white 88 Toyota MR2, almost identical to this one except it had black (and I think more basic) interior. This car looked special. People thought it was a lotus or something. I loved everything about it except 1. My T-tops leaked like crazy and 2. When the car was parked on a hill, the transmission would slip so if you didn't set the parking break REALLY bad things happened. Mine was super clean otherwise, until some asshat without insurance nailed me in the side and I stepped down to an old CRX I bought for $1500 bucks... God, I miss that car though. Please... for my sake... listen to "In the air tonight" and drive super fast at night. Every.Chance.You. Get. Thanks, Mr Regular.

So SO happy for you on this acquisition! I feel you on the nostalgia, I remember being in 5th grade looking at my gym teacher's red one and thought it was just the coolest damn thing, couldnt count how many times I asked her to sell it to me :). Enjoy your new vehicle and congrats on all your success with this channel. Thanks for keeping it real

Everyone has that one car from their childhood that they'll always look at with a smile, that will take them back. And I love when people talk about them because you can hear that passion in their voice. Mine is a third generation 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible. My grandfather would take me out in that car always. I remember being only 3 or 4 years old in a booster seat in the back of that car driving up and down the canyon road that we'd have to take to get to his house from where my school was. It's not the best looking or performing camaro, but that car takes me back, and it takes me back hard

Nice pick! And I'm glad you didn't tease us for 200 years like with everything else you do.

Ａ Ｅ Ｓ Ｔ Ｈ Ｅ Ｔ Ｉ Ｃ

The pure love of cars is REAL. Thank you for sharing, Mr Regular.

This story and your reasoning is the exact reason I got my 1989 Buick Reatta, it's 80's gold just like this MR2, pop ups and everything:)

About time you picked up a AW11 Mr.Regular!!!! If any of you guys watch Regulars review on the AW11 he absolutely adore this car! And basically talked about how great it is lol Glad you were able to get it.

I am so happy you were able to find such a clean MR2. And for the same reason that you wanted a MR2 I want all of the 90s Japanese cars as well. As a kid a saw a S13, S14, Supra AND a NSX all parked in front of 1 store while on the way to buy (you guessed it) new pants xD. And OMG I need to own all of them and park them next to each other in a garage.

welcome to the Mr2 cult! sw20 owner from California here! been following your channel for a long time. I'm so happy for you to have found your unicorn!

Genuinely happy for you dude! I knew it was an MR2 under that cover! Congrats and I know you'll enjoy her.

1:33 Headlights Go Up

Darn, I thought it was a Dodge Ram 2500.

This is my second favorite video of yours. You speak of this car the way I speak of the early 90s Nissan VG30DETT’s I remember seeing one the first time parked under a cover in my buddy’s father’s garage, and fell in love with it. I joined the air force and it was the first of several irresponsible automotive related purchases I’ve made in my life. It was later stolen to never be replaced. I still remember it as fondly as you speak of the MR2 mk1

Called it! Im very happy for you, getting such a nice example of the car.

Great buy MR. Regular. I used to own a MK1, and it was by far the most fun Ive ever had in a car. I mean look at that interior!

Congrats on getting one of your dream cars! Now it's my turn! s2000 here I come!

Welcome to the MR2 family. I have an SW20 myself, but an AW11 is something very special, enjoy that pure feeling of nostalgia and classic design.

Brings back memories. My buddy in HS had an '88. During a going away party for a friend who was leaving for navy boot camp we crammed three people and a pony keg in it and completed a two hour road trip for the party. Two years later we road tripped it 400 miles to chicago to watch him graduate. I've always loved this car.

Congrats on the new car, Mr. Regular! I feel the same way about the MR2. A car I have always wanted, and just knew I had to own one someday. I was lucky to find a red '85 early this year for a steal of a price. Yours even has the exact wheels I want to get! Good luck with it.

NiCe DeLoReAn

Nice Mr. Regular! I am the 2nd owner of my 1990 Eclipse GSX believe it or not. The car was pre ordered in 1989 paid for in cash and delivered to the guys house by truck. It came with the bill of sale, owners manual, repair manual, and every record of work. I mean sure the car has 169k miles on it now but one owner 27 year old car. It's so nice to see that someone else found a gem

Congrats, man. Your excitement brought a smile to my face.

O my God you need to review my 1983 Toyota mk2 Supra

welcome to the mr2 club! definitely one of the greatest pieces of machinery, engineering and design to ever come out. wonderful buy

One of these popped up at a local used car lot today. Test drove it, by far the most fun driving experience I've ever had.

I had an 86 .... you describe perfectly everything that makes this little car amazing !! I want another now...

*Snap oversteers behind you* Pssh... nothing personnel.. kid

Your love for the AW11, reminds me why I love mine. In the darkness between jobs, you kept me from selling my first love to meet ends, and allowed me to find the bootstraps I had forgotten I had.

Mr. RCR, when it comes to the noises an AW11 makes, you haven't lived until you have opened the T top and downshifted in a tunnel. My dad still has his 88 supercharged T top, they are truly gems

I'm so happy you were able to buy an AW11! My first car was an 85 Mk1a who's original 4AGE exploded. I was swapping a built Silver Top in when the car was stolen with the bad motor in. I miss that car everyday! Keep the MR2 dream alive!

All that matters is the 4AG engine in the back

Congratulations! It's nice to see someone buying a car for the right reasons.

The first MR2 was the car that got me into cars, almost 20 years later im a mechanic and still love the lil guy. Thanks for this vid

It's so nice to know beautiful examples of old card like this still exist.

This is a Toyota MR2 AW11 MK1b; it's brown.

80's automotive nostalgia ftw. love it man. my dd is a 6 speed '89 z51 vette.

That's my first car! Best car I ever owned. White 1989 Supercharged MR2. The '89 had a sleeker embedded third brake light in the spoiler. The 4A-GZE was a beast of a motor and the car was so balanced it handled like it was on rails. I loved how the dash had a green indicator light that illuminated when the supercharger was engaged. No ABS! No power steering! Fully independent suspension. Extremely responsive handling and acceleration. Best car ever. Imma buy me another.

This is crazy. I just bought an 87 mk1B mr2. Its clean and low mileage and perfect exactly how it is. And Ive told all of my friends that I'm not going to modify it or race it or send it down a mountain at 90mph. I told them I'm gonna cruise through national forests in july with the t tops out, and rummage through thrift store bins for cassettes so I have more than just my Wonderwall tape to listen to. I'm going to travel across the country. I'm going to go places and see things in this car and I'm going to enjoy every second of it with my silly ridiculous space wedge. And then I watched this, and you said almost the same damn thing. These cars have a certain effect on people, I swear. Its just a wholesome piece of machinery, through and through.

I literally just bought one yesterday

This is what car ownership is *really* about.

Had one of these as my first car. Had SOOO much fun with this little guy! 2/3 scale Lotus Esprit.

My freshman year in college (1987), my girlfriend had one of these. I stayed with her for months longer than I should have JUST to drive this magnificent machine. You, sir, have excellent taste.

I own a JDM SW20. I knew you were going to get an AW11 from your first review.. godammit! I want a red SC AW11 now

That thing is so 80s, the only thing missing is those weird purple and turquoise streaks you only see on the sides of white cars from the 80s and paper/styrofoam coffee cups in the hospital cafeterias and teacher's lounge back in the 80s-90s

The way u show real, true love to cars, man I totally feel you, I can’t explain it but certainly I can feel it.

I'm happy for you man. I did the same thing too with my first car, my 97 Miata. I wanted one since I saw the little happy face blink at me in middle school. I know what you're feeling and I think all car enthusiasts are with you on this one. Now don't snap-oversteer it into a tree.

I just knew it would be an AW11. You haven't been shy about your love for them. I think in one video you even said "I will own one of these one day" so no big surprise. Looks like a cherry too, if I had to guess it probably cost around 5k.

I KNEW you would get one eventually, in the original review you had such a massive throbbing MEAT STICK for it, congrats Mr regular!

that is a lovely car. so happy for you! what an amazing find. also, this simple review was fantastic, even without your jokes. i feel like i know what the aw11 is like now.

Proud to be a Patreon supporter and help in some small way to make this happen

Good for you, Mr. Regular. You've been busting your ass to entertain us schlubs for the better part of five years. Treat yo self. But also, don't make it a garage queen. Love it, but drive the piss out of it.

Listen to vaporwave at night in aw11 dream right there

Congrats on getting the mr2 . i love mk1 mr2 . the boxy shape of the mk1 is awesome . Ive only seen two mk1 mr2s in person . I saw one years ago when i was still in elementary school while waiting for the school bus . Someones dad came to pickup his kid in the mr2 . The second one is my neighbors dark blue supercharged mk1.

Your opening monologue dug up my first memory of falling in love with a car. It was my cousin's unmodified Nissan 240SX that he traded his dad's old BMW sedan for. To this day I am an utter Silvia fanboy because of the memory of rolling up to his house after a three hour drive on the highway and seeing him wash it in the driveway. I will not rest until I can at least drive a Silvia.

My version of this car was a pea-soup yellow-green Bertone X1/9 I think, that was for sale in the parking lot of the gas station near my dad's house when I was maybe 10 or 11. I'm sure it would have been terrible to own, but I remember how I wanted it, exactly because of how it looked, just like you said.

Mr. Regular, living life on the edge on a RWD Mid engine beast, but the 80's life is the true life.

man. you nailed this one. your feelings on this car are the exact reason i bought another del sol. nobody else gets it but me, and nobody else needs to get it.

I can understand that childhood need for a car. When I was 3 years old, I was on the way to the bank with my dad when I saw a beautiful black trans am with all the gold flaming chicken decals turning towards us and flooring it past us. I asked my dad what it was and as soon as he told me it was a firebird I knew I had to have one. Now I'm 17 and a 2000 WS6 is my daily driver, and I put on those same gold decals I had in my memory from when I was 3. I wouldn't rather have anything else, and I'm glad you got your childhood dream car : )

There are more differences between A and B. Reinforced block with 7 ribs instead of 3. Stronger crank. Different cam lift durations. The list goes on but you will learn the i̶n̶t̶r̶a̶c̶a̶c̶i̶e̶s̶ idiosyncrasies of owning a stock 30 year old car soon enough . Beautiful hardtop though. Welcome to the club. You're gonna be smiling a bunch.

"I'm gonna cruise at night in the summertime with the windows down" That's the definition of heaven, if you do it in your dream car

RCR, i honestly enjoy your personality and commentary so much.

Thank you for sharing a formative piece of your childhood with us.

God, this video makes me miss my MR2. I'm gonna fix you up someday, babe. As soon as I have *literally anywhere* to work on you. I'm coming home, I promise. This Volt I drive is practical but boring, sensible but devoid of spirit. I want to come home. I will come home. We'll get there, babe. We'll get there. Even though you're old and rusty and fading and you've got a lot wrong with you, I can rebuild you. As soon as I have a garage.

Congratulations! 🍾🎊🎉🎈

I've had mine for just over a week now. I Love it! When I was a kid the owner of a local video game shop had one and me and my friends used to go round and visit the shop just to look at the MR2 parked outside.

mr regular isn't the hero we want but he is the hero we need. The first monologue in this video was fantastic. you didn't use 1 stupid auto journalism cliche. It took me right back 20 some odd years to my elementary school classroom looking out the window waiting to leave for summer...... thank you.
