So... that’s my car. Sold it about two years ago. I daily drove it for about two years prior to that, but didn’t have anywhere to store it when I went to a newer car.

This comment is CRIMINALLY understarred....

7 years is too old for a tire, at least for anything I’m comfortable with at speeds over 40-45 mph. It’s not like they improve with age.

I love the Craigslist-level optimism.

“The headlamp and turn signal are going to need to be replaced, I’d put money on it.”

And if those precautions don’t work, get thee to medical care without ANY delay and describe *exactly* what happened when you get there.

It’s an edge case situation with specific actions that need to be taken ASAP or within a few days you’ll find you’ve become a one-armed mechanic. Yes, you can literally rot your hand…

When checking for high pressure fuel leaks, take precautions against hydraulic injection.

Upon review, I think the passenger might’ve been the disabled person.  

What in his entire published history would make you imagine David doing anything in the most sensible way?

The wheelchair in the bed has me wondering if the Toyota is modified for accessibility. It wouldn’t excuse anything, but it adds potential answers to “what went wrong?”

Saw that and wondered if he had a wheel mounted throttle that got stuck after the pointless revving

Ah, so THAT’S why the passenger didn’t get out. Bet it’s his wheelchair.

That was my first thought too. Panicked use of the wrong hand control evidenced by the wheelspin and forward motion only AFTER the Taco mounted the Jeep.

Epoxying a lamp will not impress a German inspector. They are fierce on that sort of stuff, there is no way they’ll overlook the crack.  The headlamp and turn signal are going to need to be replaced, I’d put money on it.

The inspection probably means he actually can’t get the rusty van of his dreams. 

“I’ll be buying new badges from eBay, because these are badges of honor, and my minivan deserves them.”

There is a frightening lack of rust on this vehicle David.
