“Wow! A genuine 4-wheel drive vehicle; I can go anywhere.” The Toyota salesman handed me the keys, a new moss green 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser, my ticket to adventure. The machine looked tough, resembling its ancestors, the trucks seen in the long Japanese convoys of WW II movies. The motor in my 1971 version was a descendant of the Chevrolet design that powered those WW II vehicles.
