Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!! -

I would still take a good ol American made K 5 Blazer over any of them. The way the tops came off those things made them the ultimate party desert/river vehicle. And with the simple front end suspensions you could lift them super easy & put the big meaty tires on them.

Ironically enough, the best endorsement for Toyota is the one they probably wouldn't want to claim....
Every time you see stock video footage of terraists driving around the mountains of Afghanistan, odds are its going to be in a beat up old Toyota.
They should make it a marketing slogan really...... "Toyota: Tough Enough for the Taliban"Eat Us And Smile

Old Toyotas were tanks. It used to be Land Rovers and now it's Toyotas in the third world.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Minus the weapons of course, that's what me & my friends used to look like on a Saturday trip to the beach in one friends truck. Back in the days it was legal to ride in the bed. Everyone pitch in 0.50 cents for gas & we're off! Best seat was raised up on the wheel well or snug against the cab where you would be out of the wind & could light your smokes. I swear we would have 10 of us crammed in the bed & another 3 in the cab.
Looking back, scary as shit going 65 down the freeway like that. Totally worth it. Although not as scary as being high on opium & everyone having a loaded weapon and a grudge.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock.

I have a couple old Land Rovers. Once you dump the Lucas electronics and put Weber carbs on them, they are reliable. I like the suspension and drive train better than Toyota or Jeep.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Toyota's were also used extensively in the late 80's middle eastern conflict between Libya and Chad, better known as the "Toyota War". I just happened across this the other day while reading about Col. Gaddafi on wikipedia.

Toyota war. The only way to kill a person with a Toyota is to run them over with one or have the accelerator malfunction so they run into something hard enough where the air bag is no good.
I would think old communist era weaponry did more killing than something made in Japan for civilian use.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I do think that Toyotas are basically good cars, but then it's really hard to find a "bad car." Even the worst cars out there, for ex. like maybe the soon-to-be-gone Chrysler Sebring (phased out in favor of the much more promising Chrysler 200), are still light years ahead of what cars were 20 or 30 years ago in regards to reliability. Every manufacturer has recalls, but I have two main complaints about Toyotas. One is that they were once deified by the likes of Consumer Reports with auto-recommendations even when it became clear that Toyota was beginning to suffer the same ailments as domestic (US) sedans in regards to bland interiors and marginal performance for the money, with far less incentives given out to consumers to buy them smacking of arrogance and over-reliance on reputation, and:
...Their reputation as a reliable, but boring, appliance car-maker who only offer interesting stuff and performance to those willing to pony up big bucks for a Lexus...Last edited by Nickdfresh; 03-07-2011, 12:08 PM.Comment

For the most part, I agree. But they still have their problems: like Tacoma pickups that rust prematurely, "sludger engines" in some of their late 90s and early 2000s vintage cars, and poorly thought out ergonomics like fucking floormats that don't fit and can cause accidents, etc.Comment
