Toyota Land Cruiser (2003)


March 14, 2003 - Day One We snuck into Toyota headquarters picked up our first SUV this morning. It's a little number Toyota calls the Land Cruiser. A quiet sort of flagship the Land Cruiser sits at the top of the Toyota SUV heap in terms of amenities and luxury. The 'Cruiser moves along quietly through traffic without much notice. But don't think for a minute that the stately Land Cruiser doesn't look regal, if anything. It is a very good-looking vehicle, but does go unnoticed in terms of exterior appeal more often than not. The Land Cruiser is the sleeper king in the SUV world. We have the privilege of driving this V8 Toyota from Manhattan Beach to the IGN headquarters in the Bay Area and back later this week. We pack Peer, Matt, Chad (Chatootie) and myself into the three-row tank on wheels. Seth and Steven (The Continental) "have too much work" and stay back at our Raleigh Movie Studios offices to "work." No sweat off our back, more room for Matt, Peer and Chad to partake in some mobile entertainment activities. Matt didn't bring along a monitor, just a Cube and the necessary equipment; but, alas, he forgot the car adapter so no Zelda for us. We still have our MDs, GameBoy SPs and laptops to keep us company.
