    My dad's first brand new car after college (technically after he joined the Navy) was a brand new 1983 Celica GT!

    I do not come across Echos that often, and this was in near-perfect condition; It was also sporting a paper tag in the back window, indicating that someone recently purchased it...

    The original Highlander was produced from the 2001 through 2007 model years; The redesign came for the 2008 model year and while it was rather bloated compared to the 1st generation, the 2nd Gen still looked good! Don’t get me wrong, the 3rd and 4th Gens also look good and are some of the better-looking crossovers in their class, but they still have that “soulless blob” look...

    The first two generations were boxy and still looked rugged; The 1st Gen is the best looking in my opinion!

    The problem is that newest examples are now about 14 years old, and while there are decent examples like Limited Hybrid model I photographed in the parking lot at work today (which I believe is a 2006-2007 model), most of the ones I’ve seen have not have been particularly well cared for and are rather beat up.

    One of my friends had a 2003 Limited 4WD model that his parents bought new and just gave him in 2011 when his dad bought a new Altima; He totaled the Highlander in the summer of 2003, with 185K miles on the clock. That Highlander was rather beat up, but aside from an A/C refrigerant leak that had manifested itself shortly before it got totaled, it was mechanically sound and ran great! My friend ended up totaling it before he could make the appointment to get the A/C recharged... :(

    Back in March 2015, I had the opportunity to photograph (and sit in) a 1st Gen Highlander Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle. These were only leased on the West Coast (mostly California; Possibly Oregon), and Toyota was showing it in Pennsylvania just for the heck of it; That is the first and only time I’ve ever seen one in person.

    So yeah, in my opinion, the 1st Gen Highlander is one of the greatest vehicles built by Toyota in the last two decades; The downside to that is that like most Toyota vehicles, the majority of them were ridden hard and put away wet. The light blue Hybrid below likely has over 100K miles, but the pictures don’t do it justice and you can tell that the owner cares for it!

    I saw this Lexus ES just casually sitting on a street corner while on my way to drop off a DoorDash order in Philly; It had Maryland plates, so I’m guessing it was stolen, wrecked, and stripped of its wheels...
