93-96 Aerostar with intact rocker panels! (Of course a BC plate) It was the short body style, XL trim but without the "sport package" and E-AWD.

I worked with a guy who had one of those with the E-AWD, I had to explain to him that no, it did not have electric motors driving the rear wheels.  Scary thing is he was hired as a electrical/mechanical maintenance person, which he was horrible at, so they made him management.  :P

That is scary! But unsurprising that they were bad at their job of maintaining mechanical/electrical things with such a poor understanding of their own vehicle.

The Z8 is one of those cars that I didn't appreciate when new but I really like them a lot now. There was a perfect spec one on BaT a while ago. Topaz blue with the Alpina wheels.

A Leisure brand, Unity RV, with New Hampshire plates. The owners weren't around, so I couldn't ask them if they were lost.

Price starts at $195,470 USD or $243,820 CAD.

Interior looks pretty nice: https://leisurevans.com/unity/photos/

A well preserved Hyundai Veracruz on QEW today. They didn't sell too many back then and now it's the first one I've seen in years. Was struggling to remember what's under the hood, IIRC a 3.8 port injected V6 from the original Genesis sedan and a 5 or 6 speed auto.
