Trying to polish my social media skills. What does Pppfft mean

Your keys all look like sucked lozenges, and you praise Toyota for being able to still cut a new key for your 30 year old truck from a cylinder code.
For 5 dollars.

I feel your pain. My truck was in different stages of apart and not running for over three years. Now when I drive, I am sorta just waiting for that new noise that I am going to have to fix. With that being said, it is still by far my favorite vehicle to drive

Ah F' it, i'm going for another…...
When you bring your vehicle for a smog test and the guy have a puzzled look on his face after seeing all that hoses and smog related parts, he couldn't figure out where the timing marks and I have to tell him.
Your FSMs all look like this
All of these comments are funny and true for our 60's today. But it wasn't always like that. I bought my 60 when it was 1-1/2 years old back in 1988 and it was the most reliable, trustworthy, super heavy duty, maintenance free vehicle. You wouldn't think twice about driving across the country or to South America with a FJ60 and many people did. That's what it was designed for. I have driven thousands of miles off road in Mexico over the last three decades with zero issues. The FJ60 was an unstoppable tank. Although it wasn't the fastest car on the road, it had enough power to always keep up when the engine was younger.
It wasn't until the vehicle got around two decades old that things started wearing out & needing to be replaced, and unfortunately, that's when many members here on mud decided to buy their first 60... after it had been trashed by the PO.
If this thread ("You know you're a 60 owner if....") was started in, say 1990, the responses would have been much, much different.
A more typical response to that question back then would have been:
You know you're a 60 owner if...
"... you wouldn't hesitate grabbing a backpack, a tent, a credit card & setting off to drive around the world"
& everyone reading the thread would nod silently in agreement.

I know I love my old truck regardless of it's down times. The amount it's taught me and the sense of accomplishment and pride in my ability especially being a female in this very large 'mans forum' is huge and in no way truly measurable.
All of us get it, especially those of us that who don't have money coming in as easy as others.
What can I do my own way to have my money go toward the bigger issues... that's often my quest.

(FJ60, not 62s) ...when the emissions tester guy insists that the temperature probe at the front of the catalyst is an oxygen sensor....because he's a trained specialist, and you are just a moron.

Fast forward to 2017. I still wouldn't hesitate to drive mine anywhere,anytime. Owning a 60 is a choice. It's the little things listed here that make them unique. Working on them is a special experience and one that is very rewarding in the end. I work on modern vehicles everyday and welcome the simplicity that working on a 60 brings.
