Didn't Toyota make a horrid little Van in the 80's that was rear wheel drive? I think you had to remove the drivers seat to check the oil. Why not get one of those for your spare parts venture?

I would have guessed Roadcow had made an appearance in the forums, but a search (of just titles) didn't yield any results.
