1999 Toyota Tacoma. A dinky two-door job. Still running. It's old enough to buy itself a drink. Has a shell on the back. I'm the kind of guy who runs the car until it runs no more or isn't cost affordable. Get regular oil changes, general maintenance, nothing spectacular. A life utility vehicle. Little rusty around the edges, and definitely a car for an old dude who doesn't have to impress the chicks. As a matter of fact, it tends to attract older guys, like me, who walk up and say "that is such a cool truck."
Nice! How many miles?
Today: 203,067 miles. 85% of the distance to the moon. Destination, the Sea of Longevity.
That's actually a bit light on mileage ain't it? Us it your daily commuter? I calculate about 9k miles per year that you put on it, which is low compared to the us average of 14k. Regardless that's great it's lasted you a long time, and you haven't needed to put a lot of mileage on it.
You're absolutely right. I was self-employed from '87 - '16. Gig work before they called it that. No regular commute!
Nice! My '08 Mazda6 has 166k, I'm hoping to break the 200k barrier myself
yeah it's good, but you'll make it to around 300k, maybe 350k and then the heads will crack
That's not just old enough to vote, that's old enough to buy a beer! Makes me miss my 2000 prerunner
