You know you drive an MR2 when....

Your can't get in after a cold night due to a frozen shut door.

You flash your lights at a Ford Probe

After a drive you touch your wheels and compare heat differences incase of sticking calipers.

Please continue :D

When you drive to work at 5am you get a wet right leg thanks to the drip drip drip.....or if it's cold you have to scrape the ice inside and out.....

Haha. When you don't flash your lights in daylight because your H.I.Ds sometimes stick on and you won't find out until your battery is flat.

When you start the car after washing it and you have a misfire.

When you turn the stereo on and you have that whine from the active system.

When you leave the house and your initial thought is you need to get fuel first.

When you get asked don't they do kits to make these look like a Ferrari.

Good thread topic BTW :-)

....you have to open the engine bay everyday to fix something

when you drive down the dual carrageway with the japspeed exhaust and your misses talks to you so you go to turn the noise of the exhaust down with the stereo

you need to check the seat after its rained to see if the roof has leaked

You check the water temp each time you use boost?

Turn the heaters on when stuck in traffic on a warm day?

When you can weirdly hear water sloshing INSIDE your rev1 spoiler but can find no obvious point of entry for any water ingress.
