My current. 98 Tacoma reg. cab no power windows no power locks etc. . 145,000 miles. As "Plain Jane" as it gets. Only luxury it has is A.C. and it actually works (first vehicle I have even owned with working A.C.!!!) 4 Cyl & 4WD. I bought it at the end of summer in 95. The goal is to drive to 200,000 miles or death. Same goal I had with my Corolla which I sold at 204,000 and word has it she's still on the road now....a year and a half later.

Simplify.......

Manual tranny? I'd set my goal a little higher. 4 cyl Tacos never die.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

yup, manual. I set it at 200,000 OR until it dies (which I am sure will be more). I figure at 200,000 I will be getting MORE than my money's worth and will be happy with that!

1st for me would be the '76 Vette I had then the '74 IROC, both gone now but boy were they fun!

I do still have a 1991 Camaro RS in great conditon, fully loaded, t-tops, ground effects and the underside of the car lights up, I can change the colors (7) and make them flash side to side or rotate different ways.

I bought the car for my dog, he's gone now 2 years but kept the car anyways, fun to drive on the weekends though.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

1991 Pontiac Sunbird convertible. Bright blue. White leather interior. Sweet ride for a 16 year old. Lasted 3 weeks until some drunk dude buttpacked me in front of my house. I pried his dented door open and screamed so that the neighbors thought someone had hit an animal and not fully killed it. My mom was out of town on vacation...I don't think she's gone anywhere since. My dad never said anything to the police about the guy being drunk. He told me that about 5 years later.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
