    Thanks much to all for the likes and compliments! Usually i'm asked why do i STILL drive a stickshift or such an OLD (32 year?) vehicle! I had a bad electrical problem which i couldn't find years ago (literally everything lit up and stayed on though it drove like a top!!); so i went to the dealer...when i drove up for service they had to FIND someone who could drive a stick ..LOL!

    The first 4RUNNER i bought was the 3-color (5-spd 4 banger) seen next to the 87 DLX XtraCab .(Outing after trip to Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley and Pioneertown).
    Being 65+ i had to look up "Tired Iron" on the "interweb" LOL:

    The New Hacker's Dictionary(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition:

    tired iron

    [IBM] Hardware that is perfectly functional but far enough behind the state of the art to have been superseded by new products, presumably with sufficient improvement in bang-per-buck that the old stuff is starting to look a bit like a dinosaur.

    I'm driving some SERIOUSLY "tired iron" LOL!
    Toy fans give me high-fives; versus "Why does he drive that old CLUNKER!!"
