This Mid-Engine Toyota Van Can Deliver Way More Tofu Than Some Dumb Corolla
So your father has a tofu delivery service and tasks you with driving the tofu up a mountain without spilling any of the goods. Don't worry, he already has a car, a trusty 300,000 mile Previa with a 5-speed manual transmission. Naturally, as one does, you fall into a mountain racing gang and you're the best downhill driver the group has ever seen. Thank god your dad didn't have something dumb and boring like a Corolla Sprinter Trueno. How would you fit even a reasonable amount of tofu in a tiny hatchback?
Now that you (the one and only Takumi Fujiwara) have gone pro or whatever, you don't need this Previa anymore and listed it on Facebook Marketplace in Fresno, California for some reason. Here's what the seller had to say about his titanic tofu toter.
93 Toyota previa
2.2l 4cyl
Rare 5 speed manual
290k mi
Runs drives great
Everything works
Estima rear cargo mirror
Str removable steering wheel
58 industries adjustible coilovers
3rd row seats
Clean title in hand current registration
Head turner everywhere it goes
$6k or trade for something cool
It seems to me that a well-modified Previa in good shape is probably worth the asking price, but that's a whole lot of mountain-running kilometers on the odometer. Would this monster still be capable of taking on the best FD RX-7s and Supras that the SpeedStars and NightKids can throw at it? I guess that depends on whether the buyer is as good a driver as Takumi. It was his goal to be the very best, like no one ever was (sorry, wrong show), after all.
The seller doesn't say whether the stereo still sounds good blasting Eurobeat. You'll have to find out for yourself by dropping $6,000 on your next daily driver. It would get a lot of attention at a Radwood event, that's for sure.

This Nash Metropolitan Is Really A Suzuki Samurai
Read the full story on Backfire News People sure are getting creative with body swaps these days, but this Nash Metropolitan on a Suzuki Samurai is unexpectedly cool. Laugh all you want, we know the Jeep bandwagon will, but the Samurai is a respectable rig that won't break the bank. And showing up Wranglers in your Nash Metropolitan-bodied rig would be absolutely never really thought about the fact the Suzuki Samurai is of similar size to a Nash, but now that we do it's not surprising in the least. Back in the day, Nash was making economy cars when people didn't care about fuel consumption and such. They were weird and lacked broad market appeal. The Samurai was similarly mocked back in the late 80s and early 90s. Sure, they weren't fast and they looked like little toys, but it's like people don't realize the original jeeps (before they were a brand name) were made to be small, lightweight, and maneuverable. There are a lot of cool details about this build, like the fact it has a removable fiberglass top so you can enjoy open-air off-roading just like the Jeeps (but the doors say on). There is of course a roll cage, just in case things get a little tipsy. The turquoise and white paint is actually Raptor bed liner, so it can take a beating and not get all scratched up. That same stuff has been applied to the roll cage and the interior surfaces. Even better, the guy who built this has a tow bar and light so it can be towed to a trailhead. We imagine it's not really great on the interstate, but most good off-roaders aren't built for highway cruising anyway. According to the seller, who has this listed on Facebook Marketplace, this rig has won all kind of awards at car shows and has been in parades and such. If you're in the market for a unique off-roader, this could be it. Plus, at $14,500 you're not going to find many cheaper options that aren't riddled with problems.

This founder wants to create the Tesla of bulldozers. Here's the 32-ton prototype.
Ahmed Shubber, 25, started EV bulldozer startup Lumina in 2021. He recently unveiled a prototype called Moonlander, a 32-ton, all-electric bulldozer. He told Business Insider that he wants to take the "Tesla approach" to building his company. Ahmed Shubber, a 25-year-old founder from Connecticut, wants to compete with the Caterpillars of the construction industry by building the Tesla of bulldozers. Shubber's company, Lumina, has been operating in stealth since 2021 and has since grown to a team of 26 people and raised an $8 million seed round, according to the founder. On Wednesday, Shubber demonstrated Lumina's first prototype, the Moonlander, in San Francisco. In an interview with Business Insider, Shubber said he spent around $3 million building the all-electric, 32-ton bulldozer. The tractor was assembled in the UK, with parts coming in from nearly 200 different suppliers, he said. David Wright, Lumina's head of UK operations, told BI that the Moonlander has the same footprint as Caterpillar's D6, a medium-sized bulldozer, but can push the same amount of load as a D9, a much larger tractor. Wright said the blade attached to the Moonlander's body at the Wednesday demonstration is the same size as the blade typically seen on a D9 tractor. "A D6 could not push that blade," he said. "We can have that blade full of material, full dozing seven to nine cubic meters of material, for eight to 10 hours." Wright said a charging station would be required on a project site. "It can charge at 300 kilowatts, so we can go from zero to full in an hour and a quarter," he said. "Even if you spend all morning heavy dozing and you're a bit worried about how much juice you've used — well, your operators are going to take a union-mandated lunch break, right? Plug it in, and in 30 minutes, you've put 50% of power back in again," Wright said. Shubber told BI that he's taking the "Tesla approach" by building everything from the hardware and software stack in-house, including what Lumina hopes will be the Moonlander's autonomous capabilities. "If you look at every great company that's tackling autonomy — Waymo, Tesla — they built their own hardware stack from scratch," he said. "Waymo built all their sensors from scratch. Tesla built a car from scratch. And I think if we really want to have huge market penetration, I think you need to follow the same approach and not just slap on off-the-shelf parts." The Wednesday demonstration did not show the Moonlander operating independently, but Shubber said the bulldozer is equipped with Nvidia chips, so the Moonlander can be equipped with a full autonomous sensor suite when it's ready. Lumina's origin has the inklings of the classic Silicon Valley startup story. Shubber, who has no formal background in robotics or construction, told BI that he started his company inside his parents' garage with a hand-me-down John Deere garden tractor. He said he got the equipment for free on Facebook Marketplace and retrofitted it with sensors himself to make it operate remotely. For funding, Shubber said he messaged about 3,000 potential angel investors, and about 10 responded. His first angel investor was Peter Reinhardt, who sold his company Segment, a customer data management platform, to Twilio for $3.2 billion in 2020. Shubber said Reinhardt wrote him a $20,000 check, which allowed the founder to buy a skid steer tractor and automate it. "Ahmed reached out to me years ago on Twitter which I usually ignore, but he was incredibly persistent and showing progress on an extraordinarily thin personal budget," Reinhardt said in an email to BI. "It reminded me of hardware projects I had in college. Maybe a bit too much naive, confidence, and bravado, but I think I had that too ... I figured he deserved a solid shot and I wrote him that first check." Reinhardt added that Shubber has made a lot of progress on the Moonlander and that the founder has a "massive vision." Shubber said he's now looking to raise $20 million to $40 million for its Series A round. He said his revenue target in the next 24 months is $100 million. Shubber said Lumina's business model won't be focused on selling equipment. Instead, it will be the company that performs the excavation on project sites. The start date goal is January 2026. Shunner said Lumina's next prototype is already in the works: a 100-ton electric excavator called Blade Runner. Read the original article on Business Insider
