@drVanTraveler See, if they'd just paid for a real photographer...

@HammerheadFistpunch And it blew up.

@drVanTraveler My parents brought me home from the hospital in a '74 Celica GT. I was around 2 or 3 when they traded it on a '78 Olds. Even then I knew it was a bad move.

@Just-Jeepin now we know why @Dr-Zoidberg sold the HiLux

@ike808 It is absolutely gorgeous. The Instagram peeps can keep their lambos, give me a roadster like that any day.

@amoore100 Prado FTW!

@pip-bip Who’s the McCheatiest cheater in town?

I like

@davesaddiction said in Hybrid Cars in the Age of Electric Vehicles:

I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of custom Prius-es people come up with in the next few years.

Same here...it'd look mighty fine with a subtle bodykit and nice wheels...add some shocks, springs, sway bar maybe...wouldn't be the worst commuter out there! Maybe a few years down this EV journey there'll be tuners who install uprated motors, hack the SW to enable faster acceleration, etc.

@Just-Jeepin These always boggle my mind. In the States, we have these massive goliath type vehicles to fight fire. And I am thankful for it in a lot of circumstances. However, a small, maneuverable vehicle like this would make a primary attack in a tight space ideal. Could save precious time.

@pip-bip that picture makes me miss seeing mountains.

@SamV8 yeah the days of affordable Mk3s are long gone.

I'd show up with $7000 cash and use it as a plow truck/winter beater.

Apart from the guttering...that's a nice shed.

@pip-bip I bet that Supra rides like poopra

Indeed. And there's no cruising right over the railroad crossing. It's a 5 - 10 minute exercise requiring pre analysis and probably a delicate angular approach.

@pip-bip Aw, the poor thing's broken

@drVanTraveler yeah the 3L wasn't anything much more than durable!

Hilariously, in some markets, this generation was fitted with the 5VZ-SE 3 litre V6 and the 1UZ-FE 4 litre V8....

These days they share the same driveline as the Prado!

@pip-bip
I want one but my road and driveway would destroy them all...

@Just-Jeepin makes sense

@beefchips It's not bad, I might look at the other options. I do that stuff for a living so I could just replace the decals.

@pip-bip NO GIB ME!!!

there it is again - that cobwebb'd mirror

@Powered_By_Howard I like these things. And I've definitely seen more EV1s than these. Hopefully their community will look into lithium packs to keep these on the road.

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera several months

@pip-bip that also seems a little odd for a japanese car designer yes

More like the Rad 4

@Just-Jeepin More than one person can be wrong at any given time. 😜

@CarsOfFortLangley The reality of our climate dystopia will do that.

@amoore100 more Mazda in my mind

Hard to smuggle in your favorite when the spectator to security ratio is probably close to 1:1.

@amoore100 I like that these all seem to have some character, some distinctiveness. Chevy’s CUV lineup may be the most bland collection of vehicles on the road today.

@WBizarre said in Sleekening Morph:

Gloss black cladding

this seems so stupid and counterintuitive, I drive a plastic-cladded car so I can bump into things and not worry about scrapes and scratches. Gloss black plastic arguably scratches even worse than regular body-color paint.

@Roadkilled Fascinating stuff... Makes me wonder in what ways that manner of thinking might influence a culture, to ingrain such a fundamental sense of universal truth instead of the relativity of "left" and "right".

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly a lot of time, effort and money 💰 when he could have bought a lc70, but that prado is most likely an auto

@KAC corolla touring (only station wagon)

@pip-bip I know what I have!

@amoore100
The cars are still nice, such as the VW Polo, Seat Ibiza and Leon, Skoda Fabia, Scala and Superb, Audi I'm here and there on.

@pip-bip said in Dots:

Toyota Century (engine unknown

AFAIK they only came with V12s

there are 3 generations, only the 2nd had the V12. the older and newer (current) gens were V8s.
the toyota V12 was for 1 generation of 1 model, and this is that car. that generation lasted 20 years.

@amoore100 The Cypha is the only one I look at and don't feel mental pain.

@Just-Jeepin Nice. This has the 3.0 -- you could only get the 3.4 single cab longbed 4x4 for 1995 😢

@Just-Jeepin Seller appears to be highly knowledgeable and active in the auction; hope it goes well for them.

Abandoned Outstanding in the field...

@pip-bip kind of both extremes of the spectrum, there, isn't it? Tight elastic bottom and crazy wide bell bottom flares

LM.

Luxury anyday.

@pip-bip
There's the odd one still kicking around...

@Cash-Rewards my guess is real but I could be wrong

@pip-bip those driveshaft angles are a little concerning

@Roadkilled that is remarkably tiny for such a large car. and of course they couldn't be bothered to turbo it.

@Italia said in late night oppo:

@pip-bip and people complain that Porsche never updates the 911...

The 126p was built with fairly few changes from 1972 all the way until 2000 in Poland and was based on the 500 which was first released in 1957 😛
