Crashed my MR2 Spyder

It was a wet morning and for the first time in this car, the back end broke loose and I spun out. Ended up bumping a light pole and doing some good damage to the left front fender and wheel. The 2003 MR2 Spyder will need a bunch of work and money to get up and running again.

Firstly I'm glad you are safe. Second, I very happy to know you're are not selling the mr2. I recently purchased a mark 3 and you are part of the inspiration behind my motivation. Consider live streaming some of the repair, I think your audience might enjoy that.

Favorite quote "it's Toyota so it's not that expensive", maybe true for a corolla but I've found oem MR2 parts to be anything but cheap lol.

I'm late to the party, but had to comment - couldn't help but laugh when you said "one of those days", because that's, verbatim, what I remarked to a pedestrian who'd just watched me spin out, hop a curb onto a sidewalk, and casually proceed to drive down the sidewalk to get back onto the pavement, on a very wet and cold day. So many days seem to be "one of those days" with an MRS, but it's always a labor of love.

Hello Mr. Stark....What happened? So happy you are safe. Easy to repair/replace car, but not as easy to replace the guy that gave me the inspiration and support to FULL DIVE a 2zz swap. Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year! Mr. P PS: Headlight easy and think you can even buy the cover as a component from Toyota. Also used and aftermarket....as I'm sure you know.

Well that sucks. I spun out one time in the rain when my tires hit that painted white line, but I was lucky and didn't hit anything hard. Snap spin sucks! Good luck with the rebuild. I'll be watching. Also, shouldn't you take the other side off too to see the differences? Kind of hard to tell, just looking at one side isn't it?

The light poles are designed to shear off, so it minimizes the chance of injury if someone hits it, sort of like crumple zones in a car. Most large sign poles without a soft base like this have shear bolts holding them in place, same theory.

​@@StarkReality Still got mine, really had to spin it out hundreds and hundreds of times on the hardest roads to learn how to drive these things at the limits. Staggered tires, full cusco bracing, and BCs 5k/7k whiteline sway bars and its on rails, just nooooooooo breaking mid corner. Sorry it happened, I truly believe because you had square tire setup.

I’ve always been scared crashing mine, had experienced a spin on the rain In my corolla, also crashed it in the snow, so I’m extra careful and have a lot of anxiety when I drive in those conditions... I hope you recover, I love your channel I just forgot to subscribe, I wish you the best of luck and motivation! I’ll be more careful in the rain with my MR2 also.

Hello g s, With all due respect, I find it easier to navigate slow driving and possible unintentional over-steer at higher speeds with the power steering system in place on vehicle. Get some tires and alignment, the results are priceless. Mr. P
