@ThreeLitre: seems my work here is done already..

I know it's notoriously expensive, unreliable, transmission and alternator eating, spirit and soul killing.

Too bad he wasn't Canadian, we are starting to be able to import JDM GT-4s already;

Technically I would think Toonces was actually a better driver due to the stuck accelerator. Well right up to that last part anyways.

my first car was an 86 toyota 4x4, it had 300K when I bought it and close to 400K when I sold it 5 years later, that 22re ran like a top. the new owner drove it to Belize, so I don't think I'll see it again..

for real crack check out a van from gowesty.com, then come back and talk about this deal.. our 86 was in better shape for $10k.

Back when we were dating my wife took her Jetta to a quik stop oil change place (before I had wrenching privileges on her car). I got a frantic phone call from her that the mechanic said they had 'sucked something into the engine'!
