Ok, so I watched about 12 seconds of the video, and realized the lyrics of the music are some kind of dick comparison contest.

Just couldn't watch any more of it, lol.

It will take far more abuse than that!

My first car was an 83 tercel. I totalled it 3 different times times and fixed. When I was done with it, it was an 83, 84, 85, and an 86 all combined. It changed from a DX to a LX. After 3 blown transmissions, countless blown and bent shocks and spindles and changing the oil every 10k miles. I gave up on trying to kill it. I got all four tires off the ground 3-4 times a week.I had a second set of rims and tires just for doing burn outs. When I gave up my father continued to drive it for the next several years. It had over 220k on the odometer before he got sick of it and bought himself a new Echo. The car then sat in the driveway for the next 4 years until a near by farmer offered dear old Dad $200 for it. The framer said he wanted the engine to power some old piece of equipment that he wanted to use again. It took 5 squirts of starting fluid to start the engine. He filled all four tires with air since they where all flat and drove it home.

I had a lot of memories in that car.........good times!

haha sounds like you had a great time in your tercel too. Like I said its to bad this is the only video I have of this beast. Ive gone through a full set of tires and 2 rims from hitting stuff/letting buddies drive when Ive had a little too much to drink. Although mines more like an 85 and 86 with 478,000 kilometers. wheel bearings, struts and oh man the floor has huge dents in it and the rocker panels are gone from bottoming out 4x4ing. Has almost no compression left, When I parked it on a decently steep driveway in gear with e-brake on, it somehow made its way down the drive way across the road off the other side into a tree. I thought for a second someone stole the turdcel for a moment there :biglaugh:
