What's your favorite old school Japanese car?

I loved my little 81 Toyota 4x4. Bought it new, bone stock, radio delete, white steel wheels, then went to town. Had loads of fun with it.

Speaking of Supra's. The family of a buddy of mine owned a Toyota dealership and, of course, he drove what he wanted. One night he and his girlfriend took a brand new 1982 Surpra and I was in the truck above with my girlfriend. We went out to a bar, had lots of fun, and he and his girlfriend got into a fight. He took off in his Surpra. When we left, we took his girlfriend home, I dropped off my girl, then went home. At 3am I get a phone call that he was in an accident. He "drifted" off the side of the road and launched the car over a hill. Killed him. Damn car was fast, for sure...and he wasn't afraid to push it. RIP Denny.

I also owned a right-hand drive 85 Datsun B210. The first car I bought after arriving at RAF Greenham Common in the UK.
I had a '79 in that same color with some white graphics on the sides. It was a very popular little truck on Wednesday nights on Van Nuys Blvd.
