Thanks for the reality check. I've been watching this thread and drooling at playing with cool toys for easy profit. You've brought me back to earth realizing that Ohio would probably stomp all over trying to actually do this legal thing. MikeyTsi posted:He's the shithead turtle-looking motherfucker that's the Majority Leader of the US Senate. Excellent description. For anyone that didn't bring him to mind, they know exactly who it is after reading your post.

KakerMix posted:I don't think a lot of people understand that, here in the US, things like this are the new muscle cars for value. Dunno how many old Toyotas have to sell for 15k before it becomes mainstream. I'm watching with interest, but I'm not sold on this line of logic. They are hard to come by in the US right now, with more arriving. I think the lust for 25 year old Toyotas will be sated fairly quickly. But I could be wrong.

Darchangel posted:What steam cleaner are you using, and would you recommend it, if you don't mind? I'm tired of scrubbing stuff, and my AE86 is really in need. I bumped into this on craigslist for $200. https://www.amazon.com/Mytee-HP60-Extractor-HP-60/dp/B000VHHU0A It's awesome for car carpet cleaning.

Applebees Appetizer posted:That looks like a carpet cleaner not a steam cleaner. It's not billed as "steam," I think it skirts the requirements by listing it's temperature as 210*, but it sure is steam that comes out. Man it trashes stains in carpet.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Maybe because it looks commercial grade? Idk, but the steam cleaner kaker posted has some pretty bad reviews on amazon, and if you got that thing for 200 you stole it. Idk, but it works. Also, back on track, I have an older version of the one Kaker linked and I agree, those things are wicked for some things. I stole it from a buddy to take the window tint off the MR2 that I flipped. I've used it to remove tint on a couple cars since then and it's great. It also really blasts tough smaller stains, too. Real steam is really good.

glyph posted:Wonder if the auction ending mid afternoon on a national holiday where people try to be outside all day had anything to do with it. Could not have helped. Also, I just took a good look at the engine compartment and it was a bit grubby. In the future, you'd probably be well served by a quick degreasing and a liberal application of WD-40, it works wonders.

KakerMix posted:To be fair there is a significant portion of people that are very angry that these old Toyotas sell for and are adamant they are all worthless. Funnily enough they are always the people that want to buy the ones we are selling! Weird! You know, desirability and "collectability" both pivot on a reflective remembrance. I can clearly remember the plastic feel of '80s Toyota dashboards based on my experiences with a) My dad's new 1992 Supra, b) my friend in high school's '80s Celica, and c) the '80s Tercel I cut the roof out of and drove across the country. In your pictures, I FEEL what those cars (trucks) are, and fully recognize that there are many vehicles that may be better now, but at the time, Toyota got it RIGHT with those vehicles, so I understand the want. Also, I absolutely feel that the nostalgia that drove the '50s nostalgia buy in the '80s and '90s, and the '60s nostalgia buy in the '00s and now it's showing with these '80s cars. There is a transitive gap between the desirability groups, though, because the '70s sucked so damned badly. Not only is your hoist truck an excellent example of a Hilux, it's an absolute unicorn with that factory accessory. I can see a bedliner spray and a custom fit jet ski bringing stupid money at a high-profile collector car auction. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jul 6, 2021 |

I absolutely love the roofs on those vans, Kaker. How long until we can import Estimas to the US? If I did it, I'd want to do a LHD dash swap, how feasable is that? More than dash swap, I assume? Can it be done without making a hack job of the wiring harness?
