Nope, never had that one. Hey don't say "yuck" about the Probe. I have owned 3 and had a blast with each one. I had a first gen and 2 2nd Gens. They are VERY fun.

Hell, I'VE DONE THAT! I hate it too. I've seen probes and had to take a second look, just to be sure it was a probe. But its not that bad, I mean, Rx7s, Probes, and Mr2s are all very similar in the front ends...it just comes from the fact that they were all manufactured similiarly.

well im not disappointed with probes because i never expected much from them, i cant see how it would be a good car anyways...doesnt it have one of those stupid american piston type contraptions under the hood? lol lol lol

someone at my school approached me and asked me what year of probe mine was...and yeah the front ends look very similar
