    My mom had a white 1990 Camry LE V6 when I was a kid; My parents bought it new in the summer of 1990 and owned it until about June 1998...

    Lots of fun childhood memories in that car!

    Here's that Tercel; The car's condition gave the general impression that owner lived in it. Sometime in 2018 (note that the inspection stickers expired in March 2017), it got towed away after it sat in the same spot for weeks and the Borough declared it abandoned, never to be seen again...

    A bunch of older 3rd Gen Siennas I saw on the lot at Thompson Toyota one day (before I stopped photographing garden variety Siennas newer than 2003)...

    One of them had a barely noticeable dent on the rear liftgate...

    All of these vans had factory backup cameras, which surprised me since they were older base models...

    Right before the end of the year in 2017, my parents and I met up with some family members in Hershey, where we went to an escape room and toured the Troegg's brewery...

    My cousin, who'd just purchased a brand new white 2017 RAV4 XLE months earlier, was staying the same hotel as us; She left the RAV at the hotel and rode with me and my parents, and when we came back there was another identical RAV parked next to hers (I forget which one is hers)! I spontaneously took her picture in front of both vehicles...

    Decent 1st Gen Sienna minivans are getting hard and harder to come by, especially since the newest examples are now (as of this post) about eighteen years old; Up until recently (2020), I was taking pictures of the shittiest examples, but now I only take pictures of more or less decent examples like this one...

    My Grandma's 2002 Lexus RX300 Coach Edition, which she bought brand new and owned until 2019; It had less than 90K miles when she sold it to my dad's best friend!

    I believe that the 1999-2003 Lexus RX300 (Based on the JDM Toyota Soarer) is one of the greatest vehicles EVER; I love the styling, I believe they are very comfortable, and you can't beat the reliability. However, one reason I would likely never buy an RX300 is the stereo system; I generally do not like factory stereo systems, and I prefer to rip out the factory system and install an aftermarket one...

    In an RX300, the radio/cassette is integrated with the HVAC controls; This is the case in most vehicles, but most vehicles make it easy to install and aftermarket head unit. All of the radio and HVAC info, as well as the thermometer and other stuff, appears on a screen in the center of the dash as opposed to having a separate display for the radio; I've researched this extensively, and it is virtually impossible to install an aftermarket radio in an RX (even the newer ones). The RX300 never came equipped with features like a backup camera or Bluetooth, features that I easily added to my 2010 Tacoma by installing a new head unit; I came across a thread from 2006 on a Lexus forum, started by a guy who fabricated a dash bezel and installed a double-DIN HU in his 2001 RX300. If I were just given an RX300, I would probably go through this trouble to put a powerful stereo with modern features in it.

    My Grandma was willing to put a new radio in her RX300 so she could have a backup camera, but like I said I researched it and we deemed that it would be easier for her to just sell it and buy something new. My dad's best friend, who lives in Kentucky and owns another RX300 that he loves, bought my Grandma's; Go figure, not long after he bought it, he told me he'd been scouring the internet researching how to install an aftermarket head unit in both RX300s so he could have backup cameras in both. I didn't know what to tell him; At least all Lexus RX300s came standard with a cassette player, so an iPhone or iPod can be plugged in to play music!
