Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition: Escaping quarantine with the perfect apocalypse vehicle [Pt1]
|
Thunder cracked and the unmistakable sound of rain pounding on the windows stopped me in my tracks. Wind howled. Flashes of lightning cast shadows not regularly there. I looked outside and saw the white Land Cruiser parked steady, unmoving against the awful weather. Then I glanced back to my surroundings — my living room —…

Land Cruiser Field Report: Where the Buffalo Roam
|
