In the Duramax or the Shelby?

 

Daaaamn. I want that.

 

This one’s an automatic, but it is definitely one of the nicer Supras of this generation that I’ve seen. I met the owner, and it seems to be his daily. Considering how hot it was that day, and considering that he had the window up, it would seem that the A/C even works!

 

And it’s automatic, which means you could drive it, plus it has a custom sound system!

 

Yup, or I can roll something that's single speed too

Custom sound system..man after my own heart. Not the same but just swapped in my new to me Pioneer double deck in my house system.

I’ve been working at Enterprise for almost six months, and I never knew this was standard protocol. There were only two people in the office today, and they needed me to pick up a truck from the Willow Grove branch. My supervisor called for an Uber on his own account, which Enterprise will fully reimburse him for. The car that picked me up was this mint 2011 Lexus CT200h, which had 255K miles! This is the second CT200h I’ve ridden in (the first one was my friend Ryan’s, back in 2011), to date the only CT200h I’ve ever seen that DID NOT have a backup camera; I would 100% sell the PT Cruiser and buy this car for Amanda!

I previously saw this 20R-powered 1988 Suzuki Samurai at the Grounded For Life show in Bristol a little over a year ago. The owner was not present, and there was nothing to give me a clue as to the year, but it had a sign in the window this time around; I just love these Toyota-powered custom creations!

We've all heard of 3-on-the-tree, but this 1992 TownAce has 5-on-the-tree! Apparently, it also only capable of 62 MPH. I have driven a Mitsubishi Delica L300, which is extraordinarily similar to the TownAce. The example I drove had the 84hp turbodiesel 4-cylinder matched with what I presume was a 4-speed automatic transmission. I have never driven anything so underpowered, and it topped out at roughly 68MPH. I don't know if it was entirely due to the lack of power, the way the differential was geared, a governor, or a combination of some or all of those things. Regardless, having driven an underpowered JDM van, it doesn't shock me that this thing is only capable of going 62 MPH. Also regardless, the inability to hit the speed limit on the PA turnpike is outweighed by the overall cool factor!

Very interesting, l also recall seeing a 4 on the column before, think it was French or something oddball.

 

I havent driven many town aces that were manual so thats surpsing, but it likely has to do with the transmission arrangement and limited space.

All those toyota utility vehicles make my ankles shake in fear, small accident you're paralyzed.

Those Solara's are awful. I put them next to Sebring's for nautious factor. The windshield wiggles as you drive down the road.

 

Much more reliable and better put together than a Sebring, though!

2016 Lexus RC350; only the second one I've seen in this color, and the other one was three years ago and about 3,000 miles away!

Someone watched the OG Fast and Furious too many times

That thing is hideous

 

On another note, the one I saw in California is a 2015 according to Carfax, while the one I saw in Doylestown yesterday is a 2016; I have never seen another orange RC, so while it's an OEM color, I assume it's a very rare and/or limited production color...
