truck

There is one achievement of the last century that will stand without a doubt, and that is the 1980s era Toyota minitruck. In this Google video you see this greatness made manifest, as Jeremy Clarkson and crew do their best to destroy a 100,000 mile+ former farm truck with impact, seawater, fire, and other things.

Every broke person I hung out with in the 80s and early 90s drove one of these things. I'd buy one today. [livejournal.com profile] pbd had one that later [livejournal.com profile] the_silent_one had too. That was a 1980, wasn't it? Greg's was an '88 and he put 100,000 miles of L.A. messenger/courier work on it before he sold it. The Chadian army blew up Libyan tanks with them. They. Will. Not. Die.

Is the Tacoma still that good, I wonder?

Combine "A Summoner's Tale", the Sloar Speech from Ghostbusters, the SF Channel Mentat Commercial, and every gamer dork ever, and you'll have the cast of Fear of Girls. These guys are just a little bit too good. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] do_not_lick.
