Default The RX2

Well I guess I never posted this up here. My dad and I picked up a RX2 right down the street from where I live..I drove by this little store and couldnt believe what I say at first I thought it had to be a old toyota or something but there it was a RX2!! Well I hope to have updates to this soon. Dad is on the RCC now so maybe he can post up some more pictures also.

Its nice but it sucks too..A lot of them are sitting in the open cause we dont have a way to keep them all protected. The Cosmos and REPUs have been around the longest dads had them for over 25 years

So is the RX2 like the RX3 when it comes to how the bumpers mount? What does it look like if you remove those bumpers? I think we could figure something out with the parts you have laying around at the farm..

I'm not sure about that but should be pretty easy to find out! Sucks last two cars have had bumper issues the RX3 has none and this thing has the worst bumpers I have ever seen in my life
