Soooo This afternoon after logging off work I drove up Wadsworth to see my Chiropractor. On my way around 104th I see a beautiful silhouette of an 80 series coming toward me. I think to myself wow that looks good, and then I wonder and say to myself wonder who that might be...???? It passes me and I see my teenage son in my 80! LOL... Oh yeah, it's mine! Oops I should recognize her a little better than I do, but to be fair I only see her on the weekends as she's not my daily.
That happened to me once when I was driving the 80 and I saw my truck in the rear view ... I somehow forgot that @DanS was following me. 🤣

I saw this Prado on Sunday leaving the El Rancho King Soopers. Followed and got this through-the-windshield shot. Appears to be RHD, and it had temporary plates.

No photo but I was driving down Broadway near I-25 (right in front of @Notyourmomslx450 work) and saw a maroon 80 coming the other way. Had to have been lifted 4-6", not the typical 3". Looked like 37s, but might have been 35s. Had some kind of exhaust on it that was louder, but still sounded like a 1FZ. Roof rack, bumpers, etc. It was very clean and very built. Is that anybody on here?

@nuclearlemon You and I are more alike than we think. Some evenings I cruise around Google satellite view for hours just looking. One night I ended up finding a SWB 45 and a 25 sitting behind a house ... I bet you already know where they are though (about halfway between us).

Saw a half-cab FJ40 today at a bank at Kipling and Bowles. Gray. Couldn't stop fast enough to get a pic before he drove away. Anybody know who it might be? Had the roll bar and jump seats behind the half cab.

Drove the 40 to work yesterday. Saw a two-tone 80 at bowles and Santa Fe in the morning. Then in the afternoon on C-470 got a honk and a wave from a guy in a Tundra. Then later a buddy from martial arts was telling me how :grinpimp: my ride was. So it was a good day 🙂

Words can’t describe the size of these tires. They were well, well over 40”. Englewood Senior Center.

I think this was a 40th Edition. It was difficult to see in the dark but it had a badge on the front fender. A gal about 60-65 years old got out of it, and judging from the stock height and highway tires, I’m assuming this had been a babied around-town vehicle. Vitamin Cottage, 38th & Brighton.

Gotta love all that side wall with those 15" wheels miss those days.
