    Pack a Lunch, Kids! It's the Toyota Picnic!

    Maybe, just maybe, if Toyota had introduced the Picnic on these shores... Maybe just maybe, if they had introduced the Picnic on these shores twelve years earlier... And maybe, just maybe, if D. Boon had been riding in one instead of sleeping in the back of a van on a fateful December night in Arizona back in '85... Well then, maybe, just maybe, D. Boon would still be alive today. Realizing this, after the Picnic's discontinuation in 2001, Toyota unit Daihatsu produced the Boon X4 in tribute, our badly-photochopped version of which was pronounced "a trip" by none other than Boon's old bandmate Mike Watt. Sure, a Boon ain't no Picnic, but really, what is? – Davey G. Johnson
