    Yes. After he died, I treasured that car until I had to part with it in 2007.

    I live in Ontario, Canada and they have a program called Drive Clean. If a car doesnt pass, then we have to get rid of it. I would have had to pay over $2,000 to get it road worthy and it wasnt worth it. I sold it as is for $700

    :) We got the Mazda after that. Nice car, but had to replace the Engine mount in 2010 and it was beginning to rust. We had to surrender it in 2011. Now we have Hubbies Mothers Corolla but it is ours

    MIL bought the Corolla in 1998. It was being used by a Toyota dealership as a rental.

    What? It's pretty true. He's lucky and done his hard work in the past so now he can chill at his desk, he has no kids to take care of, no girlfriend or wife, his money goes to ice cream and LEDs lol

    So if you were to move on from the corolla it would be a Subaru?
    Thats coo... I've been digging some of the imprezas lately because I have a ton on my instagram and they can be pretty damn clean.

    But i'm done with the JDM scene when it comes to the next car.

    Civics created the "JDM" scene.

    All other Japanese cars are Import cars.
