PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!!
Presenting the 1985 Toyota van - no name, just van.
Dad bought it in Dallas, brought it to Europe where my dad was stationed while I was in high school, ended up in Virginia where I inherited it and I finally had to give it up after 225,000 miles when it started leaking exhaust into the passenger area and wouldn't pass emissions.
I really miss that van - during college I took out the seats and had a full size couch in the back! ohh the days....
I still remember the time my dad was driving it on the autobahn and pulled out into the fast lane in the way of some guy driving a fast BMW. They had to hit the brakes and as they passed later all in the backseat gave us the finger so we all saluted them back! hah
One one awesome feature we never really used.. it had a fridge and icemaker in it and two sunroofs! wow.
oh and the Dutch neighbors (living in Holland) called it a bus because it was so big.. looks like a star trek shuttle craft - got lots of stares back in the day.
