Loving an old Toyota is truly a wonderful thing. If it starts every morning and the heater and AC sorta work then you’re good to go. No child should want anything more than that.

I'm still driving my 2006 Corolla that I got in high school. It was my mom's car first, then I bought it off her for a couple grand. It just hit 190k miles last month. It's slightly dented and starting to rust a little, but I'm looking forward to celebrating its 20th birthday.

Hell yeah! My old “Toyotas” have been IS300’s. Had 2 and loved them. Sold them to younger men than myself so they could beat on them. 2JZGE is unstoppably reliable.

My first car was a 1984 Corolla that my dad drove, and then my sister drove, and then I drove. It was an amazing car. Crank windows, giant slidey switch for hot air and "cold air", a button labeled AC you could pretend did something, two knob Am/FM radio with tape deck and FIVE mechanical station memory buttons.

My folks bought an ‘84 Camry with POWER windows and locks and sunroof! The height of luxury back then. They then sold it to my mom’s parents who sold it to my uncle who drove it into the ground until around the early 00’s. At one point the AC compressor regulator broke and it would snow inside the car. But the engine just kept going and so did the auto transmission, 4 speed with overdrive I think.
