Woo! Finally, some props from Jalopnik. Here is mine (1 of 7 with S54, LSB/Black):

Why do shitty drivers sign up for a job that requires nothing but driving?

Feel bad for the guy. But with this sentence you can certainly feel the cultural divide.

I think you should re-read. He replaced/rebuilt virtually every system for the long term. He used better parts. Things partially worn or known trouble spots were addressed. It was a system reboot. A better initial purchase would have all those same systems in different states of decline. Addressing those issues as…

It comes down to this. You can’t get a car like this today for under $12,000. The driving experience, the looks, the sounds... I think this was just perfect.

Loved how detailed you were with everything you did to the car. great write up. But damn so you sunk pretty much 2 and a half times what the car itself cost into it just for repairs.

You are doing the Lords work my son.

Some people have not a single fucking clue what is a good car from a bad one. “It’s old, junk it.”
I bought a 1987 Toyota 4Runner Turbo 4x4 from a junkyard parking lot because the owner thought it was better off as scrap metal.
The SOB has a removable top, turbo, a sweet digital cluster, original paint, straight body,…
