Reading the various comments above I am unsure whether to laugh, cry or sigh. Maybe all three. At least we lived to see the turn of the century. Any bets on seeing the next one?

  We'll see it but not as the country we currently inhabit. The US Government will have definitely run its course by then. This will be a very different country in 2100, not recognizable from what it is now.

If Rodney Dangerfield was a car, he'd be a Pinto. With that said, the Pinto was by no means the worst of the 70's auto abominations. Ever ride in a Plymouth Volare?

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
