<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 1441139, member: 1262"]Growing up my parents had a 1984 Toyota Tercel. Man my father loved that car, since it was like the energizer bunny and kept going and going and going some more. In the end it rusted out before it was mechanically unsound and we got rid of it when it hit 325,000 miles. A mechanic friend of my dad's bought it for $200 since he had just started a new job 40 miles away one way and the old Tercel nearly got 50 miles to the gallon. Apparently he put it into a demolition derby a year later with north of 350,000 miles on the odometer and it won the top prize and still ran all the way to the junkyard to be scrapped. If it didn't rust out so badly we would likely still have the thing today![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
