"best car ever......"

[baselfish]

howdees all

indeed have not been on MUD for sometime - but here a little 80 series anecdote.....

was driving down the road the other day - guy in a super large dodge ram - pulls up beside me
indeed quite fast and hovers / lingers in my passenger blind spot - like he is police or a some sort of mob hitman....

im like WTF....im just cruising along (albeit slow a fux as usual - as we all know the propensity for speed and 80 series has)

i keep on cursing along - next thing he is right beside me - signaling to me - yelling out to me -

im like aw s***....he we go what the hell does this a****** want....wtf did i do to him....
im reading up for a "whats your problem bro ????"

he then yells out...."Hey buddy is it for sale ???? your car....you want to sell ???"

stunned i was like..."Sorry man no way..."

he then gave me a sheepish shrug and the "knowing nod"
and yelled out..."Thats a shame....best car ever !" and then gave me a couple toots on the horn and peeled off
as he waived out his window.....

Found this note recently which is always kinda cool and not the first either.

I don’t think many of them realize how much it’ll cost em to get this 80 of mine sold.

Thanks for sharing.

LOL

It is the best off road SUV ever, but now it becomes old like me

These 80s are allready legends...

Not out of the ordinary. I had an inquiry-at-speed like that on I-10 in Phoenix last year, and get a few windshield notes each year too.

Windshield notes are extremely common

It is interesting how time flies, like most of here been driving an 80 for going on a couple of decades, at least as a second weekend vehicle, they have gone from cult favorites to best car ever!

I still see several folks in completely stock 80’s that have been driving them since new, get the occasional wave, however mostly I get “ you will get my land cruiser when you pry it from my cold dead hands!”

I usually just get the finger, especially on long grades. Or, i get, “nice 4Runner”.

If that's how he writes a note, I doubt he's able to hold a real job long enough to afford it.

I guarantee that note is not a sign of their wealth. Have you seen how POTUS tweets?

Haha, I can’t count the # of times I’ve gotten the “sweet 4runner, man!” -comment in gas stations, etc.

A long time ago I told a few “it’s a Landcruiser” — but now I don’t bother saying anything but ‘thanks’

If you want the scrap-paper windshield FS offers, Home Depot seems like an informal carlot the way I catch them there. Odd since my HD is in a relatively small town.

Whenever anyone compliments my car or the 80 (that's pretty rare), I always think of this South Park episode.

 

[slow95z]

its amazing how many people around here had a 4 runner just like mine back in the day....

I had a guy walk around the front half of my 80 about three times before he finally asked me what kind of truck it was. I have the TEQ badge from @bhicks on the grille, so he was confused by it, but he knew it wasn't a 4runner.

At least he wrote pls and he’s prob fluent in another language I am not

"I know" and "you got that right" also work.

Had a guy in a newer Cherokee say "nice 4runner" on the trail. I replied, "nice Fiat", and drove away. haha
