Talking Phil's modded Toyota T-100 spotted in the wild & posted on Jalopnik. Comments ensue!

Someone apparently spotted Phil's (aerohead's) Toyota T-100 in the wild, and submitted the photo for consideration by the sometimes amusing peanut gallery at Jalopnik:

We called a Geo Metro-mino the ecomod work truck, but this Toyota T-100 is so slippery it'll probably glide through the air with just a push. We just hope the increase in efficiency is worth the ugly




The comments are mostly positive, I'd say. Well... positive, but qualified!

And Elhigh put in a good effort to educate the crowd (nice!).
