So I figured out a plan. I’m gonna put the little Bluetooth speaker up there and when I hear them scratching I’ll hit play On a screech owl sound effect.

Never...... hey have you seen this??
Never watched this all the way through until today - Nightview?? Didn't know that.
i've managed to watch 2 of those videos all the way through and regretted both of them.... something about a host that s***s his pants every 2 minutes while drooling on himself puts me off of it..... shame all their other videos are great when not featuring him.
. Wait. Drunk JohnVee is hosting?
Formula 1, watched the raced today but will boycott the rest of the season. F1 is forcing all drivers to wear hijabs under the helmet. “ Sharia law in F1?” you ask? Yes! I don’t like any religious laws on secular life.
s***, Soil, or Mess = New party game to be played after 2am! Yes, they're very different things if you have an eye for subtlety...or so I've heard.
End of the IMSA race on Saturday.
Ford GT in second place, goes into last turn, pushes on the gas and slows down, corvette rear ends it and puts it in the wall. Supposedly got the gas calculation wrong. It was exciting up until then. @lt1fire Porsche won (barely)

The long beach Grand Prix is such a great day. Not just the main race but all the side events and event halls around it.
That was the one thing I did every year for 5 years before moving.
Just missed that calculation... lmao
I would like to go see that one day.
wonder how much it'll go for?

I don't think "we are there yet" my friends. And . .I feel slimy after reading that.
I guess it will go for $17K+ if it is perfect . . best guess. I mean it is green - worst color . . .LOL.

I mean they are great vehicles and all, but they don't inspire anything. They are a huge compromise vehicle.
Not a great road car
Not a great off-road car
Not a wonderful engine to drive
Not the greatest transmission - prone to over-heating
Radiator issues
Tight seating and low headroom
Not really "Pretty" in any way.
I mean - - blah - so why waste all this time on it?
I'd rather have a 4K beater and get from point A to B and save the $20K for something more inspiring . . .
And I have owned a lot of them and their cousin the 1st Gen Tacoma . .so I feel like I can bash on it.
EDIT: All that said, at one time they were Consumer Reports #1 ranked car of all time for reliability. Pretty good for a 4WD vehicle.

It is a fun thing... Toyota sponsored it for 20 or so years, I think Acura sponsors it now. I went a few times with my Dad in the early 90's then a slew of times in the early to mid 2000's
Here are a few old toyota ads for it.
I love a Green 2nd Gen! What are you talking about worst color? Oh well, beauty in the eye and all that....
Most of what you say is true (though I disagree with the "pretty" thing and the "not a great off-road car" thing), but I LOVED my 2nd Gen. Still an all-time favorite vehicle for me. That said, as a lover of this car in this color, I can't imagine a "full" restoration (even if it's really just all cosmetic) being in any way economical yet. You're right. I don't think we're there yet either. Guys in their 40s/50s need to remember the car from their childhoods first. Until we get to that point, it's not a classic. It's just a used car.
Stayed at a hotel there once and from my room thought it was odd that there were all these perfectly spaced burnout marks visible on the road. I pulled up the course map and found that it was where pit row would be during the race (held a few weeks prior to my stay).
Haha - I was seeing if you were still around re: the color
They are gorgeous in person - but pics always make them look different. The color looks light on the resto-mod one to me - maybe I have looked at too many green FZJ80s. BTW - Its a 3rd Gen, 4Runner Brother!

My first internal response was ,”well yeah, no s***, of course it is”. Then I went back and reviewed my post.
Embarrassing brain fart.
Once you go 100 Series you forget all about the rough ride of the 3rd Gen! !!
