What Spinelli Drives
They said I wouldn't do it, that I'd continue hiding amid a cloak of vehicular anonymity, bashing and praising other vehicles with impunity while keeping my own whippity classified as top secret. Well, no more. There it is, a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder. The funny thing is, pretty much everyone who guessed — completely blind, I might add — came up with a car that I most definitely would drive, which may not sound too difficult, but believe me, it's tricky. Still, there can be only one winner, and that is commenter "Opinions are like,..." who guessed a "Toyota MR2 Supercharged 2-tone gray, driving with the T-tops off in 32 degree weather." (Anyone want to trade a Lotus Elise engine for some comments invites?) Oh, and to everybody who guessed it, "ex—cop car" is totally on my list for next time. And before you mention how ridiculously solipsistic this whole thing is, we'll also be putting together "readers' rides" posts, considering you guys drive some seriously cool and oddball shit.
