I close on my new house at the end of the month and wanted a utility type vehicle for dump and home improvement store runs. I had initially wanted a cheap pickup truck, but then I did what I always do and bought something silly:

My friend's brother drove it home from southern California and sold it to me. No seats in the back so it'll be great for hauling rolls of pex, water heaters, furnaces, etc.

Wow. I don't think I've seen one of those without significant organic weight reduction holes.

When I crawled under it, all I could do was blink in confusion at all of the unrusted metal and untouched undercoating.

While I was removing the makeshift bed from the back, I found where the victims are buried:

Now that I've topped a few things up and fixed some minor quibbles it purrs like a kitten :o

It's got a smoother idle than my mom's Highlander!

Toyota Townace .... there was a million of 'em here. Not totally sure this link will work .... it's Townaces sorted by price on the big for sale site in NZ.

I think most of them have rusted off the road now, from having another look

The R20s/R30s are quite pricey in NZ :o

The manual/diesel ones are cool though!

Love the van, and the hubcaps, too, but I'd have to slap a Ross Perot sticker on there. :D

I only hope I have the guts to buy something like that when it's time for me to replace my current car. Thanks for the update, Yeti.

This silly toaster on wheels gets more attention, comments, pictures taken, and offers to buy than any vehicle I've ever owned. Not even the '65 Volvo or '70 Dart Swinger came close. It's honestly a little confusing.

That is a combination of hilarious, and excellent.
