What did you drive before your '12 Yaris?

I bought my '92 MR2 rhd in march 2009 so I'm fine, but it's too bad I cannot import anything, I'd like something more exotic like a Suzuki Alto Works awd.
I found a used beat for sale once (legal to drive here), it's a blast to drive but too narrow for me (6ft3).

However, I bought a jdm bike last year (FZR250 1988), since it's not RHD, there are no problems :). Plates for a sub 400cc are 330$, 650$ for 400+ and 900 or so for a sport bike (it was even 1400 until last year). And my fzr is more powerful and fun (18 000rpm redline) than any american 250 (ninja or cbr), perfect beginner's bike to drive around town.

The problem is that I have too many vehicules, but I cannot discard any. My DD is not good for track use, my MR2 (track car mostly) is not good for DD, and my bike is not good for winter and I won't track it (safety reasons). I'd like to find a vehicule that can make both DD and lapping, maybe a Yaris 2012 SE, but it will feel a bit slow compared to the mr2...

While stationed in Japan in 2002, I bought a '95 black MR2 Turbo t-top, 5-speed. For $2500 cash...no scratches, no issues whatsoever.

EASILY the greatest car I have ever driven, ridden in, or owned. Just a magnificent car in every respect. I would kill to have another.
