I don’t understand, how would the CRT allow you to play the games?  Did it also come with a GameCube and GameBoy player installed?  Or whatever the Super Nintendo version was?

I had...different problems. Floor was rusted out, to the point I literally fell through the floor while on the highway. Also, wouldn’t run in the rain, at which point I discovered the joys of WD-40 on the spark plug wires, and then learned to change my spark plugs and distributor cap/wires.

Good points, and I didn’t know there had already been talks about replacing it.

I can’t really speak to the cost, but that time frame from today seems, honestly, a bit quick.

My dad had the Shadow version, also an ‘89. Turbo 2.2, oh boy, and first car we ever had with alloy wheels instead of hub caps. Later my brother had the Sundance in Duster trim with the v6 (‘92 i think?) and at one point I wound up with an ‘88 Shadow, 2 door. Even my sister-in-law at one time wound up with a Sundance.…

Looks like a knock-off 1st gen Rav 4 2 door.  Doesn’t even have a removable top.

My first car. Not because I ever particularly loved it. Not because it was good. Not because it was anything special. Because it was *mine*. Bought it with *my* money, paid for *my* insurance, learned to do repairs on *my* time, all of it was *me*.

Nor should you.

Keep in mind some of this data is inherently skewed.  If the police in your state generally don't give tickets for aggressive driving then it will be under represented here.

I rode in the trunk of a 1st gen Ford Probe more than once, and in the bed of many, many pickups as a child.

Two things I’ve found knock me out in a car:

That is a hard, hard pass. Absolutely no freaking way. I’m not saying the seller needs to drop the ‘2', but I’m not saying they shouldn’t either.

Wow

My work vehicle (2020 or ‘21 Nissan Rogue, can’t remember which, I hate the damn thing) has it. Literally the only time I notice it is when I back in to a space and it freaks out if there one of those concrete stoppers or a wall behind me. Never had it active otherwise.

I am going to completely ignore the question and talk about my awesome road trip experience instead.

That dashboard sticker reads “Deadend”, which seems apropos.

Realistically I was not in the market for a Tacoma anyway, but now I’m *really* not. At better pricing it would be an aspirational thought exercise in figuring out my finances to make it work, now it’s not even worth daydreaming that.

I realize it’s not the same, but all I can picture is the graffiti painting scene in Demolition Man.

That cockpit! I’d prefer gauges instead of screens, but the fact there’s nothing else kind of speaks to my soul.
