new guy intro, owned from new how about you?

[ScottMac]

Hello group
Just want to introduce myself and make my first post, so let the finger pointing begin! I must say that this is a great resource and I have learned a lot reading the FAQs and the posts here. I have a bone stock grey 91 FJ80 with the mighty 3FE engine with 175,000 miles which I have owned since new. Thats right, I drove it off the lot in 1991 and never looked back. When these came out there was nothing like it on the road and I instantly fell in love with the styling and knew it was destined to be a classic milestone vehicle. I couldn't wait to get one. I have used this vehicle as a daily driver all these years and plan to keep it the rest of my life. Of course with a vehicle this age there are some things that need attention and I am glad that there are knowledge people here to assist.

Cheers
Scott

ps- anyone else owned since new??

Mine wasn't new although it only had 7,949 miles on it when I picked it up in Chicago last February. Already passed the 12k mark and still seems like new. Can't imagine owning it 18+ years but I'm going to give this one a try, might as well, still have the same wife after almost twice that.
