I've also got a lovely old motor 
A 16 years old Toyota RAV4 that runs smoother the older it gets and never , ever breaks down . Passes the MOT test year after year .. it's also high up and is just so much fun to drive
We had some snow and ice last year and the traffic was gridlocked cars slipping , big trucks stuck and parked up everywhere yet the RAV4 just drove and gripped beautifully and I drove in and out of stranded vehicles , up and down hills

Your Toyota sounds like a lot of fun !! I bet you drove around the stranded people in circles, just having fun !!! LOL 
I haven't had any big break downs yet (knock on wood) but my turbo diesel truck is already not built like the old diesels were. I have a friend at the barn that has a old F250 that has over 400,000 miles on it !!!! Original motor, original transmission. And she regularly hauls a big horse trailer to shows. Now that is quality there I can only hope my truck will keep on going for a long time without ending up a fortune in repair costs. So far so good, though.
I do know one thing, even if I eventually go to a smaller vehicle, it will still be a "higher up" one, some sporty SUV or something like that. Not the ones that resemble mini vans
I do the same thing on youtube. It can get quite disturbing at times, though. I have no idea how I landed there, but the interviews with mentally ill patients that were filmed decades ago. Disturbing. And so sad.
But it really IS wonderful to be able to look something up, as soon as the interest comes up. To me that is the biggest plus of the internet there is. Watching funny cat clips isn't bad either, though, LOL !!!
Oh, and what would we do without google and youtube when it comes to home improvement or fixing something !! Or even diagnosing the issue. I have fixed issues on vehicles myself more then once. I love being educated on the issue BEFORE calling a repair man or dropping something off to be fixed, if it can't be done by myself. I have replaced window motors on cars, etc. I have fixed someone's computer. Gosh, there is a fix for everything out there, one just has to look and research long enough Also so many tips on home improvement. Tips on making it easier to tile floors or walls, lay wood floor, etc.
