I had no idea I had friends

Post by Rgraham155 »

Hey everyone! Up until now I thought I was the only one that that had a strange liking for the first gen's!!!!!!!!!!!! I have owned a total of 7 in my life with the last one about 15 years ago. I currently don't own one but have been looking hard locally to find the right one. Anybody in the Puget Sound/Pacific NW area with something for sale? I don't have much free time to get on forums because I am always in the shop working on projects but I look forward to sharing stories here. Later

you came to the right place.

we're all a little crazy about these old school cars... maybe borderline insane, fanatical perhaps.

if you find yourself stopping what you are doing just to look at these old cars, you're one of us!

i think there are quite a few in your area.

Thanks guy's. I've never really lost the bug and learned aboult pre 80's Toyota's through my first job. I was only 14 and started working at an all Toyota salvage yard. I had that job all the way through high school. My list of old rides is a big one and is about to come full circle when I can get my hands on another RA21. I have already learned a few things here from other threads. I sometimes laugh at how many people think I am crazy for even thinking that old japanese cars are cool. That just means more for us, right?
