Extra points for the practical usage of the term "small flotilla."

Wow, time really works some magic. That Tercel is almost cute now. Never liked them back in the day.

My folks had a 1980 Tercel(looks like the silver one in first pic) Those European versions look good, I remember on our old 1980 Tercel the front and back bumpers were made of nasty looking black rubber material that stuck out a good 5 inches or so. The one in the pic looks like a normal bumper. I remember for years thinking that car was ugly due to the bumper and wondered why Toyota would do that. Now I realized that it was yet another instance of the U.S. Dept of transportation meddling with car design. It kind of reminds me of when I read that it took forever to get USDOT to revise the rules for euro style headlights instead of those sealed beam ones. I wonder if some of the old fossils that are working in USDOT think the perfect car is the Model T?
