    Think about it, while I love my 2020 GX you can’t actually have fun with it you can’t mod a brand new truck and dump on it…well you can but it wouldn’t be very smart I’m not wealthy by any means. I like 4runners but I like 80’s better, a 100 series is a decent alternative but again I like 80’s...

    That’s pretty much what it came down to for me, I WANT an 80 I always have and I’ve always owned one. The few years where I didn’t own one I missed owning one. Screw it…if it needs to be rebuilt down the road then so be it. I’m building up a sexy monster of a grocery getter 🤣 She’s getting...

    Yea that’s exactly it, I can actually drive it somewhat regularly here in Michigan. But one day I’ll have that 458…I’m not rich it took all my nerve just to get the California though and with everything going electric including Ferrari I feel like the prices are just going to keep going...

    Yea I wish I would have loved a classic one I actually love the 348 and 308 but living in Michigan with our destroyed roads and trash weather if you actually want to drive your Ferrari you have to choose carefully. I didn’t want a garage trophy I want to actually drive her. I came really close...

    Beyond even that most people see a vehicle as a show of your worth, totally silly. Don’t get me wrong my 2020 GX drives like a cloud and it’s definitely a REAL truck with all the bells and whistles, even if it is dated compared to most “luxury” SUV’s….but for me I never saw that as a bad thing...

    Good talk I’ll take it!!! My friends make jokes with their escrapalades and pseudo “trucks” that I bought a 97 Toyota and I’m more excited about it than I’ve ever been excited about any vehicle, constantly telling them about my plans for it. They can’t grasp the concept that this is the truck...

    Other than basic bull**** I don’t wrench at all and that’s probably the biggest issue, I have a great local mechanic that knows 80’s inside out and works out of his garage and work cheap but still probably not best to own a 25 year old truck if you’re not working on it yourself. Also my second...

    Oh trust me I know, in 2013 I bought a brand new wrangler unlimited off the showroom floor thinking to replace my LX. 6 months later I got rid of that piece of junk and had a whole newfound respect for my LX as if I needed more reason to respect it, my 15 year old LX450 drove better than a...

    Everyone talking about rebuilds and swaps….am I throwing money into a pit building up a 240k mile rig?

    Thanks for the replies everyone, all the threads about rebuilds and swaps just had me concerned. This isn’t my first 80, in fact an LX450 was my first car. I bought it off the auction block in 2000 coming off of a lease with 20k on the odo, I was 16 years old I worked pretty much just to make...

    Seems like half the threads lately are about blown engines, I picked up a 97 LC with around 240k on the odo that I’m pumping a lot of money into with aspirations of it being an everyday driver to replace my 2020 GX lease, with my sports car on the side during the warmer months. She runs strong...
