I didn’t even know that was a thing on US model cars. I thought all 80s here had sliding rear windows. -

AAMC replied to the thread Grandma car stories: The cost of driving and maintaining an 80 series for 24 years....lol. No idea, but just from the notes that she kept on the rig, you could tell she knew the 80 in and out. If something wasn't right, it was right back at Toyota service. She once had the birfs redone, heard a subtle clicking, and forced the...

AAMC replied to the thread Grandma car stories: The cost of driving and maintaining an 80 series for 24 years....Simplicity reigns! I previously had an 80 with what I thought had relatively minor rust issues, but if you looked at everywhere where there was a hole, anywhere where water could get in (sunroof, roof rack, spoiler, rear sliders), you could see...

AAMC replied to the thread Grandma car stories: The cost of driving and maintaining an 80 series for 24 years....Thanks man! I guess I'll be showing my age here, about to be 51, but back in the day we used to have in car cellular phones which had hard wired antennas. It was kind of a status thing to have an in car phone in the 80's and 90's!

AAMC posted the thread Grandma car stories: The cost of driving and maintaining an 80 series for 24 years... in 80-Series Tech.I was browsing a thread in a 4Runner group, and the thread was about a "grandma" who just purchased a '25 4Runner TRD Pro. The running joke was that someone would be able to pick it up down the road with very little miles, and not pay the $70kish...
