I remember being part of a tourist group that ran the length of Kashmir upto the highest point where a vehicle could go. We were in a HiAce with a high roof trim and let me tell you, when we reached the highest point the people there came to see this van and were astonished at this city comuter box reaching a point where military land rovers defenders would struggle. One of my fondest memories.

Ah yes, the Toyota Hiace. I've worked off one, I've taken one to school and work, I've gone to countless vacations on one, and I brought grandpa to the morgue on one. It's as utilitarian as it is ubiquitous, and it plays host to so many varied life experiences and memories for me. I love this airy tube of happiness in all its incarnations.

Great times camping and running with the crew to Roppongi, Mt Fuji, Nagano, and every other touristy site. Grate play on Maslow’s hierarchy. Thanks for featuring the van. It brought back awesome memories. These vans, although +25 years old still look so cool. 👍

That heierarchy is so spot on with my car. It’s a Subaru Legacy/ Liberty Spec B wagon with a manual, first 6 months into owning it a piston cracked and it was over, but I stood by it and rebuilt it with forged internals and all sorts of other go fast bits. Now I own a car which doesn’t impress others but when driven impresses me so much, sure it drinks a lot and lacks a lot of modern conveniences but to me this car is so good that I legitimately don’t know what could possibly replace it as it’s simply just such a great car to me

Love the "RCR hierarchy of needs" - I will definitely adopt it additionally to the "Age - Interesstingness - curve" to tell me if I really like that car. It also made me realize that I am lucky enough to score all five levels of need on my first car, which I didn't really consider when buying it and after four years I'd definitely do anything to keep it good shape.

We'll probably have to do revisions to the hierarchy over time, like a textbook you get assigned for a 300 level course that's the same as the 100 level course but somehow still $250. Except our revisions will be free, because I can't imagine anyone paying for an RCR University Course Book. Most people would scan the pages about bowel movements and the enduring relevance of automotive weeb culture and share them around. And everyone would pass. -Roman

For the nearly decade that I have lived here in Japan, Hi-Aces are mostly used by construction workers and maybe those that take snowboarding/skiing very seriously - or both. When I worked in construction in this country at one point in time, nearly every single van that came to a construction site was a Hi-Ace with a sparse smattering of Chamonix Delicas and then the rare "Highway STAR" minvans for those that wanted style over functionality - and these were the guys and girls that had custom designer construction worker wear.

Yeah… sounds exactly like the aviation industry. Or any large industry whatsoever. The sooner you realize that it’s just a job, and get your head out of the corporate politics, the better your life will be. Heck, I won’t join the airlines because of it. I work for a small company where management leaves us alone to do what we want. Pay is lower, but piece of mind is so so much better. I heard rumours of one large railroad here who pays cab companies to report on employees who are using their smartphones on company time-even for the ride to the hotel. Meanwhile… I save up all of my banking and paperwork and taxes and even bring personal projects in and run personal errands on company time. As long as I’m available without delay, I’m doing my job. The dividends it pays in mental health and lifestyle are immeasurable.

The RCR hierarchy of needs helped to centralize a lot of different thoughts I’ve had about people’s thought processes behind owning the cars they do. It’s something that I’ve thought a lot about recently and the way RCR put it makes a lot of sense.

I have a decent job and I'm still alive because I own a BMW. It doesn't matter how much work it takes for me to make this abused german from 1995 totally and completely mine but my entire commitment in life at this point is to turn it into something special. It doesn't matter if anyone else likes it because what I know it can be and what it was when it came out, that's everything in the world to me. Sometimes you jump a few rungs in the hierarchy and work backwards, but you've gotta hit all the levels before you can sit atop the last rung. As always RCR, thank you for everything you do.

That said, there's a mid-90s Estima/Tarago/Previa (choose whichever is applicable) around my neck of the woods with a 302 jammed in it so......

This is... this... this is the Best RCR review I think I've ever seen. It's a thing of beauty. Only Mr. Regular can reference Calvin & Hobbes, Battlestar Galactica, AND Maslow's hierarchy of needs and make it all work, within a review of a JDM imported car.

My 2017 Dodge challenger GT AWD reached validation on the RCR hierarchy. The 2015 Volkswagen Golf diesel TDI Sportwagon I just traded it in for reaches contentment. Now I can travel anywhere I want. My tires are $300 instead of $1,100. My highway gas mileage is up to 70MPG instead of up to 30MPG. Bravo on this hierarchy.

I went through the hierarchy of needs with my car as I sat here watching this. My car is a 2020 V6 Dodge Challenger SXT with all wheel drive. Does it serve its bare minimum function? Yes. It passes inspection and runs really well. I have to fuel it maybe once a week if I drive it enough. I love how I look in it, and I will drive it until I can't, and then I'll fix it and drive it some more.
