    Worked on one. Funny story. We chose to be driven in it. I got an apprentice to drive us around to check the fluid level on the trans after.

    It was whole-heartedly underwhelming haha. It didnt even have curtains or a fridge! Hi Aces have those!

    Have you spotted one yet?

    Not a V-12 one. There are a few pre-1997 V8 examples in this thread though. I missed a V-12 by a few minutes at a cars and coffee a couple months ago...

    :annoyed:

    I also have some pictures of V-12 versions sent to me by a guy I know who lives in Hong Kong, but the pictures aren't of the best quality...

    What I want to drive next is a 20v 2 door corolla. I had supercharged 4agze back in the day. But the 20v I've never driven.

    The MR-S is probably a hoot to drive, just not the same energy as the SW20.

    2018 RAV4 LE; Normally, I would not take pictures of a RAV4 newer than 2005, but this one is pretty unique! I thought it was for Google Maps first, then I thought it might be a self-driving vehicle, and then I realized it was used to mapping out future roads for self-driving vehicles. TomTom is headquartered in Amsterdam, and this RAV4 is registered in New Hampshire, but I spotted it less than ten miles from my house here in Pennsylvania (no idea what's up with that); I'm pretty sure I have seen this particular RAV4 driving around the area before...

    Originally a thread called I found the Holy Grail of Toyota Previas yesterday!...

    I was driving home after a day at car show and I saw this 1992 Previa literally right around the corner from my house; I always jump at the chance to take pictures of Previas, even ones that most would classify as beaters, but I didn't realize how special this one was until I chatted with owner. The owner happened to be unloading the van when I pulled up, and he seemed even more impressed with my Taco than I was with his van!

    It has over 200K miles and it's not in the best shape, so what makes this Previa so cool?!?! How about a rare factory 5-speed manual transmission?!?!

    Sadly, the supercharged engine did not become available until the 1994 model year, and was never available from the factory with a manual transmission. The engine in this particular one is rather worn out and the owner has decided to just swap in a lower mileage engine. The owner gave me his number so we can keep in contact, and I am in the process of trying to convince him to get a supercharged engine from a wrecked 1994-1995 Previa (since 1996-1997 would be OBDII)...
