Tundrasine is a great idea.
It Would be a big sale in farm country for limo business , weddings,  etc

Would be easier to decide on the 5 good SEMA show cars .... or those that can actually be driven.

On that Sienna track-van: kids won't get sick, all rear seats have been removed. It's a two-seater.

Great article Sabrina, but I disagree with the Speedster and the Sienna. Ever driven a Sienna SE? It's actually a hilariously competent handler.

yeah the tuning scene and SEMA leave a lot to be desired - most of it is a pile of non-driveable garbage that would even have the folks at Mansory cringing...

I dont get this obsession with bright coloured deep dish rims, over cambered and stanced / slammed cars with retarded body kits. What happened to tastefully doing up a car?

Disclaimer: I am not an old prude, I drive a tuned Alfa with a body kit [ITC factory approved though].

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Oh come on....not one lowrider or a donk....there is nothing worse that you could sentence a car to then a life of bouncing up and down, Jesus paintings on the hood, 30" rims and blasting horrible music.

I still think Renault did it best, 20 years ago with the Espace F1.

I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that there are a few similar vehicles in Calgary and even Vancouver. None, to my knowledge, are Tundra-based, but are Ford/GMCChev, but most don't have the full complement of doors, but are limo-style, with only one large rear door on each side.
