Out at a bar with some friends. The only one with who brought a car. Couldn’t drive 2 of them home.
I rarely used the rear seats on the 300ZXs I had so I took the plunge into a 2-seater as my only car. Everyone in the world has a bigger car anyway, if we ever need seats or storage mine is left at home. It’s grand and it’s never been an issue in the 3 years I’ve had it, I’ve even taken it on holiday with luggage for 2. Until now.
But it’s not so bad. It didn’t even really inconvenience me. It inconvenienced them. And she ended up taking the train home with her man anyway rather than going to her place.
And anyway. I don’t wanna get too ImmortalMinority about it (hi IM!) but. The feeling I get from going out to a bar for a few hours in a mid-engined 2-seater targa - it’s special. It’s worth it many many times over, compared to the small amount of inconvenience compared to a bigger car. I’m living the midship runabout life and it’s great.

thats why you should always keep a dolly, a roll of ductape and some rope in the frunk... tape your friends to the dolly, rope the dolly to car... and tow your friends home
easy :)

I think if you like the car enough it’s worth taking 2 trips :p

Okay friend #1, wait here for 30 minutes after midnight in the cold of a Melbourne summer while I take friend #2 home, I’ll be back.
I’d make the two trips, but there’s more logistics to it than that ;)

Sounds like its working as intended.
Your friends will get used to it. I have been DDing a 2 seater for going on 12 years now. I have not owned any other (street legal) cars during that time.
People can deal with it, its not your obligation to drive them around.
Also, sweet MR2. Love those.

Exactly it. And people so rarely have more than 1 passenger anyway, if 1 at all. It’s been working out great.
And thanks! What’s your 2 seater?
