I will be flying to White Plains, NY tomorrow to pick up a new toy.  As you may be aware, from my previous post, the MR2 regurgitated it's (cheap parts-store) water pump a couple of weeks ago.  This prompted a decision to go ahead and procure a second vehicle. 

Since I will be moving into new digs within the month, and I will lose ready access to loaner cars, I will need to bow to the "N+1" convention.  That is to say, if "N" is the number of drivers in a household, N+1 is the number of cars you need.  This will also free me to attack the MR2's repair myself and also do a little refreshing without worrying about how I'm going to get to work. 

Of course, just because it's the reasonable thing to do does not mean that I've been all that stodgy and reasonable about it... 

I'm going to leave it there for now.  Story and pictures should be forthcoming.
