TRD, Toyota Racing Development, basically Toyota's specialty division. TRD is used on their trucks as a special off-road package, similar to Z71, FX4, or Pro-4X.
Oh, I'm familiar with TRD for decades now, but I was wondering if there was a special version of the FJ, or just some factory aftermarket parts. I'm not interested in the latter.
I'm really beginning to wonder how rare these things actually are, last I heard there were only 50 or so in the country but this is the 4th one I've seen in the past few months
I think the quote about how many are here is accurate, but I'm also sure hardly any were sold until recently. Having 50 stateside is probably right considering they'd send just one to certain dealers, but the low sales is from its release coinciding with $4.00/gal fuel. That may be acceptable to those with SL65's, but for the minivan? I'm sure those owners stuck with the R500 at best. The new "popularity" is probably due to the firesales every manufacturer is having (and you can be sure the oddball R63 is near the top of that heap) and the now-massively-reduced fuel costs. Cheap car plus cheap gas equals BUY ME NOW!
Aprilia RSV Mille, great bit of kit!

That's a 360. For sure.

What?
430!
Ducati 848
Providence may not be New York, but they sure do like their bikes. I just have to remember my camera more often.
Honda Inspire
I'm probably wrong about this one, but that looks like the right wheels and trunk detail so.... Anyone?
Jaguar E-Type
There must be something important about this specific E-Type. No one would go through the trouble of carrying one in
that condition halfway across Connecticut if there weren't some rather important serial number or something. I suppose it'll show up in Octane two years from now with its full restoration laid out for us.
On a vaguely related note, I have about 260 photos from NYIAS to post. I have to downsize them (down from 4MB each), so it may take me a while. I'll be starting a new thread tomorrow about the show, and hopefully finish by the end of the week, My usual "witty" commentary will, of course, come along for the ride.
