I’d be lying if I did not admit to being a little nervous. Despite my faith in my little Toyota, shit is about to get serious in terms of miles in hot sumner conditions.
Friday morning, my wife, Toby, and I will saddle up for the 340 mile drive to San Diego. Saturday, we do a 200 mile vintage Japanese car rally. Sunday, another 340 back home.
That is a lot of Sunchasing. This is the most driving the car has gotten since I bought it, but it is the biggest reason I love old Japanese cars. They are durable and reliable. That little 22R is a workhorse. Don’t try this in an Alfa. At least not a new Giulia. ;)

Enjoy the drive. These cars were meant to be driven. My Japanese convertible is a little newer than yours (1994), but it really feels at home on a good twisty road. In a few weeks we’ll be driving 400 miles to NC for a wedding, followed by a 250 mile drive on the blue ridge parkway, a 250 mile drive on West Virginia back roads, and then a few hundred miles back home.
Take lots of pictures. Looking forward to seeing how it went.

I’m sure it will be totally fine, but it’s still an old car so I’d throw in a basic tool kit, some duct tape, some stiff wire and a basic socket/wrench set. Maybe a spare hose and/or belts. Eh, it’s a Toyota. Forget it, and enjoy!
