I had a mid 1970s Toyota SR-5 pickup. Despite the fact that I maintained it very poorly, it just refused to quit. It was an eyesore but one of the most dependable cars I ever owned. I told myself I''d drive it until the whells fell off. I gave up on that truck dying and wound up giving it away to a friend of mine who needed a running vehicle.

My 1990 Ford Ranger is the same way. It just keeps on getting me where I need to go with complete reliability.

Yep, I had a 1982 SR-5 and it ran and ran, I finally gave it away to my step son. I now have a 1994 Ford Ranger 4 wheel drive that has 166,000 miles on it and all I ever replaced were the spark plugs and a clutch at 125,000 miles. I think my daughter was the reason the clutch failed! It just keeps on running.
