Its actually a 1997. But get this - 28,000 miles. My MIL hasn't driven it in 10 years, her husband drives it once a week to the library just so it doesn't go undriven. |

Does it have flames or any other distinguishing trait? So far it sounds kinda boring.... |

Well, I plan on replacing all the belts and hoses. And I figure a Toyota with <30k on it has some good service in it, even though its old. |

I look for boring in a car. To me a car is like an appliance that just does a job like a clothes washer. Efficience, quality and low cost are groovy. Status or coolness from car choice is meaningless to me since I am already an innately superior human.

Some custom paint may be just the thing. There is a minivan around here that has flames on it. Cracks me up. |

Yes, Jon, you need flames. I second that motion. All in favor say 'aye' please. |

Good luck with the car, Jon. I have a 97 too. I put air in the tires yesterday. I'm quite the gear-head. |
