She's one ugly bitch, but will pound the pavement. This week, the 91 Land Cruiser reminded me why I won't let her go.
She's all stock, and looks and sounds like she's ready to die any minute. She has banging drive shafts, might be the drive plates, could be the transfer case, rattling cat shield, leaking front left axle seal, but also has one bad ass motor.
She might idle at 450 at times, might be 700, or 900. I don't care. I don't even know when the plugs were last changed, it hasn't been in the last 15 years though. However, she has gotten a few new air filters and oil changes along the way. Let her be.
I ran her hard all week. All kinds of driving, rush hour, hilly roads, to haul ass highway. Today, she turned 289,000 miles, and just seems to get stronger. On the way home, on a long stretch of flat highway, she concurred. The ole gal should stretch her legs a bit. For 40 miles, it was 70-85mph.
I love feathering the pedal.
12.8mpg for the week! She's a keeper.
