HE HE , that is funny, but so true which is why I switched over years ago. Looks like it just needs a nice paint job.

Hey, it's right-sided also.

Yeah, my friend had the '79(older than this one ), I believe 1st gen with over 500k easily.
That thing was still smooth and didn't even shake when the motor was running

Wasn't this the first year with 1.8L, then they went back to 1.6L?

Good find Josh.

Awww. that's the car i grew up with. my dad had one back in the days when I was little.

I doubt it's a gen 1 corolla. Corolla had been around for a while. may be gen 3?

Yes, it was funny watching Jeremy try to kill the Toyota by submerging it in the sea; burn it and try to demolish it with a buiding, and in the end no matter what he tryed, the Toyota kept on running!
