Some things are not worth remembering.
They do! We drive ours along the intercostal here on the east side of FL.
I had a friend at work offer me his '86 (pretty sure, anyways) GTI for the reasonable price of $0.00. For some reason now lost to time, I passed on it. Was it just a VW to me? Did I not want to deal with "da Jerman enjineeering" and all its quirks and challenges? Or was I car-poor (too many) at the time? Beats the hell outta me, but within a couple of years, I regretted not acquiring it. It was a white one, and he was the original owner. Wes (a 350+lb man) replaced it with a Honda Fit.
It didn't.
Seeing them was one thing, but hearing them used to be a daily occurrence as they were quite common in over-the-road trucks (referring to the two strokers). They were prolific and long-lived.
And they always sound like they're running at full rack on the verge of slinging rods while only doing 35 mph, but that's part of the magic.

That's the only reason I think I saw one, is cause I could hear it
Personally I don't think the mechanicals will be there , Toyota has been de-contenting and living off their reputation for at least 15 years .
This isn't a 22RE .

Wait, we're the normal strong healthy specimens. It's the short people who are the freaks.

Saw this one at the store on Saturday with the driver leaving work, then saw it again today.
Damn, I giggled and didn't even watch it. I'll have to check it out tomorrow when I'm not (a little tired)

After retirement wife, dogs and I enjoyed taking the Channel Tunnel and touring Europe in my Land Rover Defender (broke my heart when I sold it, replaced with a JLU), around 10,000 miles a year until Covid and Brexit made taking the dogs expensive and frought with red tape. Saw quite a few cars left behind by U.S. service personnel over the years.
This one in Denmark, no idea what it is, feel free to enlighten me.

That's a big, beautiful Packard! Somewhere around 1950, or so...
*@RangerTJ is correct. Grille shows it to be a '49.
