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

Normally, I do not post newer Toyotas, but this Camry with an anime mural was just too cool to pass up...

This Camry does have El Cheapo Plastico wheel covers, but they all match and it's otherwise in good shape!

2000 Echo; One of those cases where "shitbox" is a term of endearment! 175K miles, and it's a 5-speed manual too! According to the owner, the A/C is the only thing that doesn't work (and he's going to fix it)!

1998 Lexus GS400 with JDM Toyota Aristo badges; Possibly photographed with my phone at an impromptu (and sort of illegal) car meet in Warrington last spring...

The owner plans on doing a manual swap with a 5-speed transmission from a Pontiac Solstice (which is a Toyota transmission); I did not know this was a thing!

2001 Avalon XL; Normally I won't post Avalons newer than 1998 because a lot of the newer ones are beaten to shit, but this one was particularly nice!

I didn't realize the Solstice used a Toyota transmission. I had heard about a lot of reliability issues with those cars and talked two of my acquaintances into buying Mazdas instead.

 

1991 Geo Prism; One of those times "Shitbox" is a compliment rather than an insult!

I had the opportunity to chat with the owner of this car, who is the the third owner; The original owner was an old lady who kept it in the garage, and her grandkids inherited it when she died. The grandkids totally trashed the car, and the old man who currently owns it ended up getting it for a song. The car is very sparsely optioned, with only A/C and an automatic transmission; It doesn't even intermittent wipers! It has power steering and power brakes, but those were standard even in 1991.

The car only has about 110K miles on it, which is shocking for a 30-year old Toyota product in rough condition; The A/C no longer works, the heat barely works, and the car has a significant rust problem as you can see. However, it runs like a champ; It passed both the emissions test and safety inspection with no issues.

2JZ!

 

It's even got a backup camera!

Rather fitting, considering who codeveloped the new Supra...

No idea what they're going for here; This Corolla had a New Jersey temp tag and no inspection sticker for either PA or NJ, so I'm thinking they bought it in Delaware or some other state that doesn't have windshield stickers (Delaware has inspections but not windshield stickers), and are in the process of registering it in NJ...
