    What car was it?

    Driving around yesterday, I saw coming in my direction a small silver roadster that looked almost like a Beat, but it was not a Kei (no yellow plate) although not much wider. When we passed I saw that it was also not much longer - very stubby-looking, and it had cooling scoop/cutouts aft of the doors, more half-moon shaped than our Beats have. Then 5 minutes later I saw another one, so there must have been an owners' meet nearby.

    I couldn't identify the badge either. What the heck were they?


    Later - After looking through a lot of photos, they must have been MR2s with similar tuner stuff on them. Next time I'll take a closer look. Are the roadsters really that short wheelbase?
