Twelve or so years ago I needed a pickup. Driving down a street I saw one for sale.  1979 Toyota 3/4 pickup.  Nearly 200,000 miles on it.  Body had different colored parts.  Got it for $400.   Told my wife she could bury me in it to save the cost of a casket.   Got good gas milage. Used no oil.  Had a bumper thing on the front.  No parts available as almost none of them were imported into the USA.

 

Was in a pileup wreck about four years ago and damaged it and the cost of repairing it was not worth it. So I spent $3200 for a 1998 Ford Ranger.  End of cheap transportation.
