 This is the car for someone who wants a very reliable ride from point A to point B but doesn't mind a car that looks and sounds like a beater.

I got this car over 2 years ago because I worked in a neighborhood where I didn't want to drive anything nice. Since then, I've done repairs to the car in order to keep it in mechanically sound condition. This car is as reliable as any you will find. The AC blows cold. I have all my repair records and those of the previous owner, dating back to 2002.

The car has 2 issues that have not affected its reliability. First, the exhaust manifold is cracked, so the car sounds a little louder than it should. It's been like that over a year and never caused me any problems. Second, the steering rack has a slow leak when it gets cold out, so in the winter I add power steering fluid once a month. Between approximately April and October the leak is nonexistent.
Aesthetically, the car shows its age. The paint has sun peel on the top of the hood, roof, and trunklid. There is some rust on the front and rear rocker panels, which you can see in the pictures. The dashboard lining is cracked. You will not impress members of the opposite sex with this car.

1980's Toyotas are known for stellar reliability and simple, easy to repair mechanics. Parking in tight spots is easy. Plus, you'll be the only one with this car in your neighborhood.

If you are in the Philadelphia area, take a test drive! Call me at 267--702-3694.
Serious inquiries only, please. No warranty is expressed or implied -- the car is sold as-is.

Thanks!

VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Every year when we start talking about which automaker is the biggest in the world, there always seems to be at least a little bit of controversy. For 2013, Toyota handily took the top spot with 9.98 million sales, but it's the runner up spot between General Motors and Volkswagen that is starting to create a stir.
Based on our earlier report, GM's 9.71 million vehicles put it in second place ahead of VW's 9.5-million-vehicle effort. Now, The Detroit News is reporting that VW is claiming a tally of 9.73 million sales, including figures from MAN and Scania - heavy-duty truck divisions under the VW AG family. The article points out that Toyota's sales figure includes its Hino line of trucks, but these might still be considered light-duty vehicles while MAN and Scania build tractor trailers.

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota

Fri, Dec 23 2016

A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.
