I bought my MR2 back in April '08. It's supercharged has A/C (not working currently), cruise control (not working currently), power locks and windows, t-tops, and 5-speed manual transmission. It currently has around 180,000 miles and is my daily driver.

In May 2008, I was involved in an accident where I rear-ended a Saturn and messed up the front end pretty good, hence why most of my pictures are from the back. No mechanical damage though, so it still drives great. I picked up a parts car and transplanted the front bumper, bumper subframe bracket thing, headlight covers, right headlight assembly, hood, and front right fender. I also got the OEM front lip from a guy on MR2OC forums.

Your headlight switch has that last up function so you can clean or change your headlight bulbs. With your lights on, push the switch in and up one more time, this turns off the lights without the headlights closing.
