“Don’t buy Jap cars.”

Agreed, it destroys the domestic crap industry. My 2000 Toyota 4runner Limited is at 275k and showing no signs of slowing down. It has a locker and a 2 inch lift.
It does everything so well I cannot justify getting rid of it.
It does everything Jeeps do except the breakdowns. All windows, rear window, and moonroof open, its about 85% of a convertible. When everyone else scrambles to put their tops up due to rain, I push a button.
Get it detailed, its a luxury SUV for date night.
Fold back seats down, it carries nearly all the cargo that a pickup with a shell will.
Then there’s a 2 inch receiver hitch for a trailer that does all the rest.

Nothing American built compares.

And I wound up in a Prius rental car once want was very surprised that it was a fantastic car. I drove it all weekend and was amazed when the fuel pump clicked off. It was like free driving almost. Comfortable, roomy, and really nothing to say bad about it. Any objections to it are better directed towards the people who like to buy them.

Sad but True and I never said otherwise.

Hear, hear.

Don’t but a “jap car” unless you’re 100% sure you like it. Cuz you’re gonna have it forever.

My ‘05 4runner has 168k on it. Been paid off for 7 years. Brakes, oil, and gas are the only things it’s ever needed.

I was going to flame you for not buying American cars but then saw your tag line. :p
