We're all nostalgic of what we drove as freshly-licensed teenagers 

Up next: Acadians, Chevettes, manually-choked Civics and Celebrity's!

   Only in Arizona.

Reminds me that I saw a mint condition Chevy Astro 4WD van a couple of weeks ago and then noticed the BC plates.  Stuff like that doesn't last that long here unless pampered and never winter driven.

Think them old Accords still had a manual choke!

A Brand New 2020 Frontier SV is $35 794.  I checked off all the options that were shown on that demo, minus the roof rack, which I couldnt' find. 

I'm assuming since it says 'service demo', the Kijiji truck is a used car.  So in other words, a used car priced almost as high as a brand new one.  Great Deal!

Just get one of these and be done with it:

Almost 200k and my credit card will melt at the pump

200k is nothing on these.  Barely broken in.

  No comment on your credit card melting at the pump.

There were two Crickets in Canada - the British Hillman based one and the later Mitsubishi one like above.

I've still got to fill up the Tundra after our weekend at Hecla.  Went through 3/4 of a tank, so it'll be a $100 fill.  But next time I go out, I'll press the loud pedal a bit and pretend I'm in a TRX!!!


Tundra performance/noise/experience compared to the TRX:

Yes.  Once the truck's paid off, I may consider something like that.  Or not.  For the price, I could get a cheap little 'fun' car.
