Trophy Wife Racing Commences!

After weeks of searching for Miss Right, we found her, a 1987 Toyota MR2 that we will now transform into MRS2 - the trophy wife. Once the transformation is complete, we will campaign her in 2010 in the 24 Hours of LeMons and Chump Car World Series.

She will be hot. She will be sexy. She will cost a LOT more money than we anticipate. She is the trophy wife.

MRS2 had a good upbringing. She was owned from new by a pair of cousins in Henderson, NC. She ran reliably for years until a tragic accident in 2006 rendered her economically unjustifiable to repair (but just right for LeMons racing.) There she sat for 3 years, exposed the elements, fading in the North Carolina sun, and hoping to be rescued by a pair of dimwitted suburbanites who struggle to overcome the throes of middle-age.

From what we can tell at this point, she is perfect. Although she shows a scar or two, she has only 116k miles. She has a hard-top - no sunroof or t-tops. She should need nothing more than a good diet, some exercise, a fresh coat of fashionable paint, and some credit cards.

Let the fun begin!
