    When this car rolls the down the highway, those holes whistled, "Oh, what a feeling!"

    Love the tape stripe. I'm sure that was a dealer add on.

    Christ I bet that thing whistled like a motherfucker on the highway.

    I thought the roof wobble noise was bad on my 74' Scout.

    My theory: The owner was a big fan of drive-in movies, but since he couldn't rig the window to roll down in order to hang the speaker on it, he had to improvise.

    It must have also been really annoying being behind him at a toll booth, as he tried to pass the attendant a tightly rolled-up dollar bill through one of those holes.

    do you realize that you can pay a lot more for a sheet of plexiglass that size than $15 for a used junkyard replacement window? Perhaps the previous owner wasn't a regular reader of Jalopnik.com?

    A true Jalop would have used bullet holes. Much, much faster. And more fun.

    That wasn't for ventilation, or to save weight. This, my friends, was the previous owner's church car. It's holey!

    You guys just don't appreciate the genius who did this.

    He was just trying to create the Toyota Corolla Tercel Superleggera. The poor sod was just trying to improve his power/weight ratio.

    Funny, I just had a rear window smashed in on the beater E30, and I was planning on replacing it with something like this.

    Obviously, many expenses were spared on this Tercel. That is an excellent solution to a completely avoidable problem. I am impressed.

    @TENGRAM likes adding a bunch of stuff to the end of his name because it makes him feel like he belongs:

    obviously you've never ridden in a Dodge. Or any Chrysler product, really. And, hey, why is my flat screen manufactured in China again? Do they make the iphone in the US?

    Nope. Iin fact, according to most news on the topic, we've fallen far behind in engineering as compared to, say, Japan, India, and other places where they've actually promoted science and math over religion and patriotism.

    They're spanking us with carbon-tube nano-tech'd planks. Our hardware is designed and built in other countries. We simply buy it. A very small fraction of the uber-secret military hardware we utilize is made here for reasons of 'national security' (rofl).

    The 1997 ad is mainly notable for showing the Rav4 doing more off-roading than any Rav4 has ever done in the real world.
