Ed pitched a perfect no-hitter yesterday, with the clue to his hot new love object. And I struck out, once again: the 2002’s distinctive rear tail light trim was instantly identified by vermontwalton, a former owner. I should know better: if you’ve ever washed and waxed a car repeatedly, every detail becomes intimately familiar. So how many out there have rubbed your hands over this detail: does it feel familiar?

I'm going with the crowd on this one. This looks like a 1987 to 1990 Mitsubishi Van. Initially, I thought it was a 1987 to 1990 Nissan Van, but the black trim running along the door is not a match. Besides, as a result of Nissan's "scrap 'em all" recall I doubt there are more than a handful of Nissan Van's left in North America.
Yeah, I posted last night too and nothing showed up. For the last week or so I've been having some problems with the comments section when using Safari, so if you guys are also using that browser, that might be the issue. Or maybe I'm just lucky and have some sui generis problem... Incidentally, I intended to post either '80s Mitsubishi van or the '80s Toyota MasterAce van. But the rub rail trim makes me agree it's the Mitsu.
Its either a Chevy Nova (the NUMMI one) or the aforementioned Mitsu Van.
Gut feeling say's its the NUMMI Nova.
The van that is hidden behind the tree in your "Suddenly It's 1990" piece?
