A question for some of you.

Lol. Sure did. And proud of it. My folks got it brand new when I was 15. Before they got it, they were in the market for another vehicle and said their next one would be what I drove when I turned 16. You should have seen my face when they picked me up from school in it. They quickly (and smartly) decided that it was too much of a car for a 16yo and I ended up buying my own car. I was pretty sad, but it was most definitely the right move. No way I should have had that at 16. I bought it off them several years later.

It was a trooper up until it's dying day. Of course it was the standard gutless 3.0 with all the head gasket issues, but I still loved it none the less. Not to mention it saved both my friend and myself from at minimum very serious injuries when we were in a 40mph (both vehicles, total 80) head on accident.

Was that your battery sitting in the other cars engine compartment?
 
I just sold my 1st gen (86 22-RE SR5) last Friday. I don't miss it one bit. It was nice and was my daily driver / wheeler for 5 years but it was an old small outdated truck. I have 2 little kids and was tired of getting in and out through the passenger door to get them in their car seats. Now I have a 2000 LTD with a SC and I'm so happy. It's much nicer, still feels like a truck, is still capable and is waaayyy faster. It's a much different vehicle. Maybe I am just getting old...
