Toyota Stalking, er...um, SPOTTING with Charlie™ (Cars, vans, SUVs, Lexus, Scion, and brochures)!

Note in the picture above how there does not appear to be front end damage, but rather it appears that the front end panels were removed; Then scroll down and look at the passenger airbag; Note how it appears not that it deployed but rather that someone removed airbag. This poor Corolla was probably abandoned and towed away...

 

2004 Pontiac Vibe AWD; Technically, it's a Toyota!




It would appear that somebody helped themselves to the AWD system...

 

2000 Sienna

 

2004 Prius

 

A couple of Camrys, including a rare coupe!

 

A Corolla with a left rear wheel that appears to be from a late 1990s Ford Escort...

 

I’ve never understood the placement of speedometers over the center console/head unit. They also do it in the Prius I think. Absurd. And ugly imo.

 

I get more excited finding things like this in salvage yards.

 

I'd tend to agree, but my cousin had pretty much this same car (but a gray 2006). She bought it from the original owners in 2009 (paid cash) with higher miles (like 90K, really high for what was at the time a 3-year old car). She had that car for more than five years and put about 70K miles on it. At 160K miles, that car was still running and driving great! The A/C blew ICE COLD, the factory Pioneer stereo still sounded great, and while the car had some minor issues it still passed state inspection!

 

Wow, that truck is FILTHY! That armrest has seen better days, for sure.

 

Mine got a bizarre black stain on it that started to manifest itself when the truck was maybe 7 years old (it's a 2010 manufactured in 2009, so 2016ish?). I thought it was something I would just have to live with, because nothing I tried would get it out and my buddy who details cars couldn't get it out. I detailed cars at a dealership for 10 months, and one of the perks of the job was getting to use the shop to detail my vehicle on my days off. The very first time I brought my truck in, a coworker took one look at the stain and said that "Workhorse" oughta get that out. He retrieved a spray can of this stuff and the rest is history...

 

If any of them have license plates, send em my way.

 

Why, if you don't mind me asking?

 

I hang them in my shop.

 

So do I! Most of the cars had no plates, but if you want a Pennsylvania plate or two to hang in your shop, I've got more than I know what to do with!

 

If you want to send me one or two, I'll pay shipping, or whatever.

 

Will do! Do you use PayPal or Venmo? I will have to dig them out of the basement first, but I will remember your info...

 

It’s always nice to see an older Camry that’s been cared for and has all four of its factory wheel covers!
