Just saw a Toyota Alphard
Just saw one of these badass vans in CA. How is that possible? It had Washington plates.

The latest-gen Alphard is produced with LHD too now, so it's entirely possible to import it to the US.

But this one was RHD. Man I haven't geeked out about seeing a car in a while. And this was over a van.

It's not uncommon to import vehicles.

easy, just drive it from Japan, head to Alaska, and go south, steal a WA plate and you're set
it's ok. when he sees how much it is to register here, he' ll just drive back

maybe it's easier to pass the regulation in WA than CA...
