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.

$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.
