@boxer_4 I'll take the Mazda thank you very much.

@dipodomysdeserti One was actually a stainless model. There's been at least a dozen come in within the last few years. 🤷

@vondon302 one does not buy a car like this and concern themselves with maintenance.

@pip-bip no, I’m incorrect. It’s a Geo Prizm

@pip-bip That is one of the dumbest things ever. I like it!

It makes me strangely happy to think about how in ten years or so, COFL will be a grizzled overland badass leading bigger and crazier trips, rescuing new drivers left and right, and exploring even further afield.

@pip-bip Yeah, roadworthy cars are good...

@exage03040 bump for 4x4 day relevancy 😎

@houstonrunner I’m still pretty shocked too, like who does that? The car isn’t designed for such things.

@wbizarre

That's cool. It looks like it's breathing.

I don't think I've ever seen (IRL) a heavily modded Supra of this generation. They've all been mostly stock but rough.
I didn't realize prices have shot up on these. I bet they're still a steal compared to a Mk4.

@pip-bip
A lot to lichen about that...and a lot more to not.

@silentbutnotreallydeadly You can buy a base model Tacoma for about that. Heck, even SR5 V6 in 2wd.

@pip-bip that was my first car (87 I think). Not even worth $6000 20 years ago

@pip-bip
I would call it Harris.

@essextee The changeover from the gen 1 to gen 2 Prius was a radical one. I wonder if it would have played out differently if it had stayed a small frumpy looking sedan.

@pip-bip They've become even more expensive? Damn! A little while back I looked at some Australian used Land Cruiser ads out of curiosity (what with the 15 year rule here in Canada I can at least half-realistically mull over importing one) and remember being amazed at how close in price most of the decade and a half old ones were in price to a new one.

@wbizarre The inbetweener is almost dead-on Accord:

@just-jeepin I love old Celica's, Except those with that nasty slushbox..

@just-jeepin It costs a lot of money to ruin a vehicle like that. Also, for all that money they couldn't proofread the ad and take out the improper apostrophe that's the first thing anyone reads.
