first 1st generations. Anyone here a fan or know them well?

I found a 1st gen today with really low miles (153k) so I was doing some research on it. There are loads of YT videos out there about how awesome they are and how they last forever etc. Interesting to see which makes/models end up with disciples and what kind of people they are....

*I'm sure they're great rigs, but the newer model ones are hideous.
