Fair. I’m allowing a little extra for the nostalgia/RAD/rarity factor. And it does look pretty dang clean.

Interestingly from the ad it says he got it from a neighbor who is original owner.  So almost certainly he got it from an old dude for <$5000 and trying to make a few $ on the flip.

oh wow.  somebody local needs to MOVE on this!

A+

Agree. This feels like should be ~$8K...maybe pushing $10K tops.

Luke Wilson, but yes.  True point.  Good for her.

I could kind of swim as a kid, but then didn’t really get in the water for years. I can still backfloat/backstroke if I really am in a bind, but I wouldn’t really say I can swim either.

a class or check your local fire department or maybe even children’s hospital. We had a free check by our local FD years ago and the biggest take away was I didn’t have my car seats in tightly enough. Really need to put your knee into the seat and yank the straps. It was pretty eye opening that it wasn’t nearly as…

Same. I did find some of his stuff funny years ago (pre mega fame...he was on a Denis Leary special or something).

I thought the lawsuit thing was a while ago.  that probably did derail things for a while.

I’m sure that didn’t help.  I think he got a bit overexposed and made some crappy movies.  Enough for people that found him funny to move on I’m guessing.  

*Roberto Moreno.  I loved him in CART!

Yup...seen that one :)
The rule I’ve tried to make stick for us early 80s non-Milennials: Analog vs Digital. If you had to frequently flip over a cassette to rewind, lived mostly on VHS rather than DVD, or perhaps most critically, you were already in high school before you got the internet at home, you’re probably…

Yup - I’m in Cleveland, so short of Buffalo perhaps, definitely a top tier snow/rust belt area for me :)  Other than my own 1984 Toyota Van, you don’t see many 80s-90s Toyotas up here.  

Exactly. If one of the streamers put up old Letterman or Conan, I bet they’d get some decent views. Lots and lots of youtube content showing different celebs/bands/standups appearances (I particularly like watching all of Norm MacDonald’s Letterman & Conan visits!).

Heck, even old Tonight Show w Carson airs on one of…

that’s why I’m saying I’d feel bad running it that way! I know it would be a quick death sentence.  This one is too nice for that fate...the key is to start with an older Toyota that is already a bit rusty so you’re not the primary architect of its demise.

Same. I’d probably feel bad running it as such, but this would make a great winter car in Ohio! Our family had an 87 Camry 5MT years ago (not all trac) and it really was stout. My aunt commuted into Washington DC with it for years, gave it to my brother with like 150K of hard city life on it when he turned 16. I got…

yah, it’s weird. I’m ‘81 and feel way closer to Gen X than Millennial.

Glad to hear. Most of my family is affluent enough to isolate and have some access to supplies. But we’ve still had some deaths or severe cases in the extended fam (or with in laws that have married in...my mom’s brother’s father in-law just passed away, for example.....it’s shame, but I’d never even met this man.  I…

Similar feelings.  Howdy fellow Indian.  Hope your family & friends are safe over there right now.

I mentioned this on the Gizmodo post too:  This dirtbag pushed a heartbeat anti-abortion bill (that is now law) as well as made comments during COVID lockdown comparing Ohio to Nazi Germany.  Truly a garbage person I’m disappointed represents my state.  

solid tunes. Yah, this wasn’t a seminal album or anything but it’s just nice to hear them do their thing. I’m glad it exists!
