For the second time in the past 2 years, the speedometer decided to work.

Also, the sales side of the dealer called today. They wanted to know how much I was enjoying my GTI.

Did you just laugh at them and then ask where the buy back money is?

I laughed for a solid 30 seconds, then asked them how they like it, because they’ve had it for 2 months.

They don’t need to know that I have alternative transportation.

A light spitting in my face by telling me something that won’t open is open.

Tell them you’ve decided on something more reliable, like a 30 year old T oyota.

Again, the 4Runner is a pile. There are many good reasons why I do not trust it. I would much rather stick with the GTI, if that shows you how much faith I don’t have in it.

and yet it has outlasted a FiST and a GTI..

It’s on engine 2(before I had it) , headgasket set 3, and the trans feels like it’s not long for this world. I probably put twice the miles on the FiST as I have this. It’s a second Gen 4Runner with hacked wiring , I would have been better off in a Range Rover.

For reference, at the moment, it starts maybe 40% of the time.

The speedo cable in my ‘89 pickup was  broken for 5 years, and then the new one I put in read 66% of my actual speed. God I miss that hunk of junk

It’s the speed sensor in this. It’s held in by packing tape, because when I went to replace it, the bracket broke along with the boot of the old sensor. So taped happy trees over the old sensor, and it’s held strong for like 5 years now...

You know I tried real hard to find a decent 2nd gen 4Runner, but they’re surprisingly scarce even here in Old Toyota Paradise. I see them often enough on the road... People just seem to hang onto them, 3-point-slow or otherwise.

You either get sucked into their “charm”, or you scrap it once the gaskets blow. The low teen gas mileage doesn’t help either. I’d imagine cash 4 clunkers took several off of the road.
