I now own a 1985 Tercel wagon

It needs to be timed. Other than that, it's in great shape for 235,000
miles.

27 mpg before I even get started.

Funny thing: The sweet spot on the ecellerator is somewhere in the
middle; when I put the pedal to the floor it will go into passing gear,
but just before that is slower than if I let the pedal up a little bit.
It excellerates in the middle.

Wonder why.

I had an '83 AWD. Nice. It had a 6-speed manual.

I did the body once, and then it started rotting through again so I gave up.
It ran real strong, though, with 210,000 on it!

Very fun little car to drive. You get there with so much less work.
