Yeah...I'm a 4Runner enthusiast and the only ones that cost $1800 are the ones with peeling paint and massive frame rot...

How about 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner (around $4k) for winter driving and off-roading, and a Triumph Spitfire (can be had in decent shape for $6-7k) for fun?
I tend to disagree. I don't think anyone would let their G-Wagen get what appeared to be a milkshake thrown inside for the sake of a youtube video...
How close is it to an E46 M3 compared to the previous gen or two of 3-Series?
Looks a little on the rough side. You probably wouldn't want this unless you are ok with throwing some money at it after purchase. Price seems too good to be true for a 3,350hr classic Cessna.
Leave it to the Germans. They don't know how not to be awesome it seems.

Absolutely buy the damn thing. I own one. They are *awesome*. The aftermarket community is pretty great too.
My '97 4Runner just happens to be that wonderful 90's green though it's faded a bit from it's original lustre. It was called "Evergreen Pearl" I believe.
I was really hoping one of the two 4Runners or the Datsun 620 would make the list. Any of those would be much better choices than the Cherokee Chief at least.
Anberlin's "Feel Good Drag" as the theme music: Win.
I've seen 4Runners fare much better in similar collisions. Not too familiar with the construction of the older Discoveries but it certainly didn't look very solid.
Well to be clear 4200lbs trucks (new 4Runners are more like 4500) are among the bigger things that are practical to drive. Yes, I'm saying Suburbans, etc. are too big/impractical. Sue me.
The Jeep TJ is way smaller and ligher than the 4Runner, fyi. The Jeep would be damn scary in a crash.
I don't drive any real classics, but I treat my '97 4Runner (all 96+ T4Rs have airbags) as a very safe vehicle. I've seen people and even my own friends walk away from unbelieveable crashes in 3rd gen T4Rs with just cuts and bruises.
Jeep CJ-7. Chevy v8. Cherrybombs. Topless. Merica.
Skills. Big time skills.
I have a '97 4Runner (same gen as truck in story). They are absolutely one of the toughest things on the road. Mine has 268k miles, never a single problem. I love it. So much.
Doesn't the Cruze (and possibly others) have the same ignition switch? I drive one occasionally and it appears to have the same wheel, column, and key. Whole setup looks exactly the same.
