That reminds me, I've been meaning to get my throttle checked...

Ha... funny thing is I would take a Toyota over a Porsche any day. Hell I drive one everyday and love it. But one thing I'll never drive is a damn Ford, thats for sure.

Why would you prefer to drive a Toyota if I may ask?

Remember the callback due to the stuck gas pedals?

Well firstly I think porches are ugly imho. And a pain to work on. I helped my father restore a '74 911.. The way they're put together is beyond me. They're over engineered imho. Secondly Toyotas are simple and just work. My brother-in-law has a '92 toyota pickup V6 with 425k on the odometer with the original motor. Drives it 100+ miles a day and it just keeps on going. Also there is so much that is interchangable between so many models. I transplanted a 3.4L V6 from a '03 tacoma and put it in my old '93 pickup. Bolted right up. Simple. Now it's time for a supercharger!

P.S. - My throttle has never stuck. Ever. It was only the newer Camry model that had the issue I believe. I'll probably never own any thing new than '04 anyways so I don't care.

You should try a Trabant, as simple as it gets, even the body is made out of plastic, featuring an undestryable twin-stroke engine.



Best of all, it was build in only one model over decades, making parts interchanging just the more easy. Quality GDR engeneering, gives you everything you want in a car, hehe

Wow, must be quite the little powerhouse . How cute.

But no I'm strickly a truck person as I live in more of a rural area. So my little yota is just right. But I do plan on transplanting the 5VZ-FE out and a 1UZ-FE in. 6 bolt mains, super lightweight, DOHC, oversquare and strong stock internals = Lots of room for expansion and very very good reliability/longevity. It's basically an F1 engine tamed way down for street use. Very affordable as well.

Really doesn't bother me. It gets me from point A to point B reliably and cost effectively.
