Mid 80's Cressida started rusting in less than 3 years in NC (not > a high salt state). Wow. There's one up here (originally from Fla, but it's been here for 7 years) that is MINT. > > You don't think Toyota was stuck in the 50's for many years? Yeah, they were. But they kept improving upon it. It seems when they made the jump to the new millenium that all their problems started. My Corolla was on par (somewhat) with a late 50's Ferrari as far as technology, but it had one thing: it WORKED, and quite well at that. The Supra is probably an even closer match.

They don't really bother me, except for the fact you're a foghorn that needs to sound off even when it's not needed. White noise. Useless. Do you even know what a car is? Like I said. You don't have to respond. But you keep doing so anyway. Waste case. But you'll keep running your yap, anyway. TTFN!

Right. Just as you will. You remind me of Mike Hunter, except he doesn't repeat himself so often. And he seems a bit younger than you. Might be a wrong impression. But you certainly seem from your posts to have vast auto experience. Even more than Mike. I really like the ten or 15 times you've recounted not getting that HHR. Can you tell that story again? Almost seems that all your car experience has gifted you with the ability to actually motormouth. Oh, HHR, Corolla, Accura. 12 each. Many miles. Excellent quality. Great in the twistys. Some car stuff for you. Didn't mean to be too technical. |
