That thing is just begging to be converted to one giant subwoofer enclosure. You could literally bounce down the road.

Looks like it is made by fisher price.

Jim, I saw heaps of those in Japan ... I fear you may face some, ah, "size issues".

Maybe you could rip out the driver's seat and drive from the back seat. Have to shift the speakers, though...

By the way, estate sales are where it's at for good low mileage used cars.

Your wife is right. Everyone secretly thinks Lexus drivers are douchebags. I won't let Mr. Clod get one either.

The thing that attracted me to them is that they are just Toyotas, but they have leather seats. And in my looking at used cars, I saw that leather seats were generally stain free, while upholstered seats usually had stains. We were fortunate that we found a stain free upholstered car.

But the douchebag factor is real, and it's silly to have a huge engine when a moderately sized one will move the car just fine with less gas.

I've never been happier than when I first drove my 6. I might be even happier with a V8. Passing around here requires a tumescent engine.

lol @ tumescent engine

A perfectly cromulent usage.

My first car was an Acura Legend, old enough to be affordable but it still had all the features that had made it a luxury vehicle more than a decade prior. It taught me that I will never have leather seats in a vehicle again.

For one thing (and I know this doesn't apply to you,) leather gets scalding hot in the summer here, and will literally burn the back of your legs if you're wearing shorts. But the other thing about leather seats is that when they get old, they crack. It kind of starts happening all at once--for me, it was about two years after I bought it--and in six months you go from a nice smooth surface to giant pieces of upholstery padding sticking up all over the place. Plus, the edges of the cracks are sharp and pokey on your legs.

That being said, it's likely that modern seat leather is of a better quality, and that the aforementioned super-heated summers also contributed to this particular car's leather falling apart.
