This post always makes me smile and reminisce on my old '99 corolla with great fondness. I treated that thing like absolute shit and it’s probably still out there somewhere puttering around without a care in the world. It had almost 400k km on it when my parents donated it but it was in fine (if a bit rattling) condition.
It was succeeded by an '01 corolla which sadly is no longer with us due to a non-corolla driver plowing into its passenger side.
They are different tools, but fun fact, you can make curls or waves with a straightener depending on technique. A curling iron will only do curls.
