I need an old ZIL fire truck with the Soviet style siren. Wooooo-du, woooo-du.

That looks a lot like a Hiace, maybe another option?The Nissan Elgrand is pretty cheap at about a grand or two. They're seemingly huge, come with a big 3.2 diesel and available 4x4. They're not quite as weird as the Previa-related vans, though.
Went to change the oil in my TL - simple enough, I've done it a hundred times. Remove the drain plug and the oil comes gushing out much harder than I expected and misses my catch can, so now I have a nice puddle of oil in my driveway.
@Spectre thanks for the tip with the tub of lube, those little packets they ship with bushings suck balls I ended up straight tossing them
In my case it ended up in a LOT of places I didn’t intend it to...lubricant everywhere you need

You know those stupid modern lug nuts with the crimped on chromey shell over the steel body? Eventually corrosion between the two layers happens, the shell swells and tears and generally fails, leaving just the inner steel body. For a 19mm lugnut, this inner shell is usually around about 18.5mm, and the failure process usually fucks up the corners enough that a 19mm socket won't grab it. So 18.5mm sockets absolutely exist.

I hate those. They go in the garbage and I order up some Gorilla or McGard lug nuts.
