I learned to drive in my dad's 1960 something Plymouth Belvidere and my brother's 1970 Datsun 240Z. My first owned car was my college graduation present, a powder blue 1974 Ford Pinto. A very practical vehicle. The first car I actually bought was a fairly rare Toyota Corona Mark III which was a wonderful in-line six, comfy, compact jewel. Turned me on to Toyota quality and I've not looked back. Over that 46 year span I've owned nine Toyotas. Never left me stranded, never broke, always started, low maintenance and good values. I keep my cars a long time and my Toys have proven to be as reliable as a brand can be. Currently have a nice Avalon and a "grand-kid mobile" Sienna van.
Judging by today's left wing, looks like Senator Joe McCarthy was right after all.
