Mike, that is a beautiful car. I love the Momo steering wheel and shift ***, the full length rear-view mirror (was it called the wink mirror?). Talk about going back to the 80s. Great example of how long the Toyota 4-cylinders run and how to keep a car looking great. Perhaps we'll make a non-SC exception for NaSCal

Man, very nice car indeed
It even looks pretty modern to me. You surely take very good care of it. Just curious, have you ever had problem with the door handle on the GTS? The handle looks similar to my 91 Toyota Corolla and I broke it twice.

No problems ever with the door handles. HOWEVER, in order to keep a car in this good of shape has taken an ungodly amount of time and money over the last 17 years for this car. I've replaced trim pieces, rubber seals, window switches and mechanisms, countless belts and engine parts, seatbelts due to sun fading, window tinting twice (before tint was available that didn't eventually turn purple over time) 6 sets of brakes, 5 sets of tires, 3 sets of rotors, 2 radiators, the list goes on.....way on. Yet it has never left me stranded! I've learned alot. The car is 21 years old and I've had it 17 of them. It was my daily driver for 10 years before I bought my first Lexus (99 LS400). Needless to say, It's seen alot of action. Inside and out!
