Bad deal. I'm sure somebody will take the reigns of the company. Why would a multi-millionaire be driving an 84 landcruiser?

First off I'm saddened to hear that RIP Mr. Noveske.

The older Toyota's were pretty badass off road vehicles, before Toyota turned them into $90K luxury vehicles.

The 80s land cruisers are pretty serious offroad machines

Not to make light of a tragic situation but someone needs to outlaw those old toyotas. With today's vehicles and all the mandated safety equipment, this may have been prevented if citizens were not allowed access to those outdated dangerous vehicles. Afterall, who really needs a vehicle like that? Not to mention if this had occured near a school, etc. Think of the children that may have been put in danger.
