I was lurking through the local wrecking yard the other day for a toyota part. They had all of the cars arranged by make and the toyota section was the smallest by far. I had a 1985 Supra that I put over 200k on without any mechanical failure, sold it to a friend that is still racking up the milage on it.

Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.

Cheap readily available parts if something does break, very simple, v8, rear drive, live axle, body on frame, heavy duty everything. Just change the oil and they go forever.

If you mess up and brake something there are tons everywhere in the yards, and parts are dirt cheap.

I had an 88 Camaro 2.8 289K miles when traded it in. rarley changed the oil it ran out the rear main as an aout oil change. one clutch and that was it. With out a doubt if you figured how much it cost to run and own for 17 years I made out on the dollar spent per mile.

Tint the windows, and get a bump bar, and spot light....

Voila, no more getting pulled over.

When you decide that you are going to go for something, and you don't let anything stand in your way, you open the door for great things to happen. And once you have made it that far, after having known what things look like from the bottom, you may find that the view from the top, is that much sweeter.
