Here, let me do your job for you:

My mom got an ‘87 new (and still has it) and used to drive all 3 of us kids around in the backseat regularly....I wouldn’t want to sit back there for any extended time as an adult but its definitely usable.

In clownshoe or convertible....

It was a fun car while it lasted and was a beast on Blizzaks in the winter but the maintenance.....sheesh. I had to build an addition on my house just to store the spare DI cassettes.

I had a ‘99 as well and the torque steer at WOT when the turbo kicked in was pretty squirrely, even with the 2.0T.

Fountain Cherry Coke. That is all.

The two most effective ways I’ve found to uncover this are to google the contact # posted in Craigslist and see if it turns up any other vehicles for sale. (This can also be done using text from the ad that sounds like it could be re-used across other ads especially if there is a word misspelled more than once as they…

This is exactly what I do and I have no control over it despite being acutely aware of the trouble it gets me into....the good news is that you’ve given me the idea to start bringing a clipboard in the car on the rare occasions I’m riding shotgun and my wife is driving.

I knew there was something else that bothered me....the dead pixels.....oof.

Totally agree - I had a ‘99 9-3 and the interior/dash/ergonomics were great with one glaring exception - the pop-out cupholder.

Any advice around the best way to file a diminished value claim? Other driver's insurance covered $14k of repairs to my Sienna as they were at fault but I'm gonna take it in the pants on when I decide to sell/trade it.

Reading Ferrari Concours in Reading, PA - A small but fairly impressive show but unfortunately in the process of being moved this year. It looks like but might end up at Simeone. Also agree with Stig's Radnor Hunt suggestion.

If this thing had a more upscale interior and AWD I'd definitely be interested. We own a late model FWD Sienna in XLE trim and while I've never really wished that it was more luxurious this Mercedes has piqued my interest. I was pushing for a full size SUV so that I could get a newer RWD sedan to replace my 3rd…

Just had to have mine redone on my '00 Limited. It's fairly common and sadly I've heard of multiple cases where they started leaking again less than a year later but I'm hoping that's not the case with mine. I toy with selling it frequently to get something a bit more modern but then I drive it into the teeth of a…

My vote would be a 5-speed 3rd gen 4Runner - Still in the 90's/00's Toyota family but not as expensive off the bat with (arguably) 90% of the reliability and a solid enthusiast following. Much easier to find than an LC. Also painfully slow. My first car was a Volvo wagon - A maroon 1981 4-speed (plus push-button…

Multiple times over the past few years random people/acquaintances have said "Hello" to me and I've responded "Do you like my hat?" Without fail the response has been "No, I do not like your hat" without missing a beat, despite the fact that I was not actually wearing a hat at the time. Go, Dog, Go is surprisingly…

We used to drive mine into metal 40 gallon steel drums at ~30-40mph (on purpose, we were in high school) and the thing never even saw a scratch.

I got handed an '81 240 4-speed as my first car and will totally vouch for how slow (dangerously slow) it was, particularly when pulling out into traffic, even with the manual. Other than that it was a terrific car...my dad bought it new and then put it into storage for 6 or 7 years before I got it in ~1996. Mine…

Yes - no service except wifi. TouchID broken as well. Seems to be a widespread issue.

Cue Vine of Tom O'Brien pointing to a lifesize poster of Tom Coughlin red faced and furious, then at the 6th second wheezing "What's a dude again?" There's a Dan Henning joke in there too somewhere but I haven't come up with it yet.
