Thanks for the great advice! I do have a pretty good trust factor w Honda's.

My brother's '89 Corolla held up pretty well for him.

An old Datsun B210 would be pretty cheap, but parts may becoming more difficult.

Yes, Toyota Pu's have a tough reputation.

Frank; what I'm up to is the possibility of a part time business..exploratory.
People around here claim to be green, and WA.,and OR. always seem to be in about
4th to 5th place in the nation when it comes to high fuel prices; so I'm hoping
down the road a piece that maybe mutual help might bear some fruit!
