2000 Toyota Sienna

Parked seven years — and there was still a MacBook and an iPad inside.

2000 Toyota Sienna minivan covered in green moss, sitting among trees after years parked.

The story so far

This $100 Sienna spent about seven years sitting on a farm, surrounded by chickens and other animals roaming free. When I got it home and opened it up, it looked as though someone might have been living inside. The real surprise was what had been left behind: MacBooks, iPads and a whole box of phones buried in the clutter. Where any of it came from is still unclear. The 1MZ-FE V6 and automatic have about 230,000 km on them. Part 1 is out now: the cleanup, a fuel tank and fuel pump job, and the first start and drive.
