Only thing that has gone on her and prevented me driving was in a massive storm the drivers windscreen wiper stopped going. Could've driven her home but decided it was safer to just wait the storm out and then try. Toyota's reliability becoming a concern?

1989 ST171 Corona - 312,000 KMs. Still running. I've owned her from 230,000 KM. So, me driving 70,000KM thats saying something about reliability. Only thing that has gone on her and prevented me driving was in a massive storm the drivers windscreen wiper stopped going. Could've driven her home but decided it was safer to just wait the storm out and then try.

Failure comes from too little brute force, or too little ignorance.

One of my mates has an R32 GTSt with over 250,000kms on the clock which back in around 2000 the old owners of were some of the most notorious maniacs around the Welly "boyracer" scene - used to get thrashed as hard as anything. Its lived one of the hardest lives out of any street car I know of and the old RB20 is still trucking on. Made 179kw @ wheels on the dyno at around the 240-250,000km mark haha.

After just having watched parents', friends and associates at work all go through problems with Nissans, Hondas, and a WRX, I feel like hugging my blacktop every time I get in the car.

old hondas rusty sure! as bad as my 86 when i got it
you expect that with old cars
but you'd have a laugh at the VT commodores and 95-98 falcons
whole chassis rails rusted out i can my forearm in... the look on the owners face when their 20k car has just been writen off in a wof!
