Yeah I can see that, plus the tint is iffy, and the barrels thin. Still enjoy my nimh ml50l (basically a mini magcharger for cheaper at this point ha). Wowzers! A c cell varibeam, I thought they were only 3D! Coool. I also like the 2C, even though its lackluster in stock form it's still a great form. I also didn't know about the 5c. That's funny, I've always wanted a 6C but I guess I'm happy with my 5- funny story, it was a lucky evilbay find, as was for one each 3- and 4C mags, but in pics it was clearly a 4- and 5C! Picked em up for cheap because of it.
I understand selling impractical vehicles. I loved my old Toyota Cressida, but in the end, the little stuff and age made it inconvenient- whereas the decade newer Camry I replaced it with feels like a new car (everything works a little better, and while I prefer the ol cressies still, the Camry is a manual which is fun. Miss RWD though)
I'd like to get a pre-97 land cruiser with solid axles someday.
I wish I lived in an area where soft tops were usable for more than half the year! Ye olde New England winters are unkind.
Miss RWD? You're crazy! I have RWD car now, actually first car ever, I've always had 4x4s and it's soooo tough to drive in the rain and snow! I'll probably never buy another. I'd gladly take a Camry on a snowy or rainy day. I'm a little south of New England but I always like to have a soft top. The warm days are few and far between so gotta enjoy them to the fullest!
I would love to have an LC. You might be able to tell by my user name, I had a '01 4Runner that I offroaded and it was an awesome truck, 12 years, 185k miles, not a single problem. There's nothing like a Toyota. The only reason I went with a Jeep instead was the soft top and they are $10k less. The Toyotas are worth it though, the Jeep rides like hell and the interior is cheap. LCs are awesome but the price gets me. I always check out fleabay for them and they get up there $$$ wise.
