    I've never liked the look of these cars. When Ben got it, I was a little sad. Seeing how far it has come has truly made me appreciate the pure function of the car more than the looks. As soon as the MR2 finds its uniform color (I speculate) when he's finished with all of the modifications in finality (does this ever happen with a track car?), I think it will look wonderful.
