Got a 1999 Land Cruiser that's been in the family since new, thing's older than my younger brother and still running strong mostly. Everyone keeps telling me to just sell it and get something newer, more reliable, better on fuel, all that practical stuff they love to lecture about. But man, there's just something about this truck, it's got character, doesn't have all these computers and sensors that can fail, and honestly when something does break it's usually straightforward to fix. Just dropped it off this morning at a shop in Sharjah because the automatic transmission started acting funny, slipping a bit between gears and taking longer to engage when you shift into drive. They're gonna do a full diagnosis but I'm prepared for whatever, even if it needs major work it'll still be cheaper than a new car payment for a year. Been looking around online at what Gearbox Repair Sharjah typically runs for these older models and seems reasonable enough. Anyone else holding onto an old beast that everyone tells you to get rid of? Sometimes I feel like the only person who'd rather fix than replace.
