This vintage Toyota Land Cruiser spotted on the Eastern Shore of Virginia looks like a late 1980s FJ62. Two-tone blue, snorkeled, and aside from the mismatched wheels, not bad looking.

Architect Louis Kahn’s “Clever House” For Sale in New Jersey
We don’t usually deal in real estate, but a striking house designed by architect Louis Kahn has just come up for sale. Kahn designed nine houses that were built around Philadelphia; this one is in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
The Clever House is named for the clients/owners, who sought out Kahn after seeing his Trenton Bath House (according to Curbed).
Yes, it needs work (but a couple hours of raking would make the outside look so much better), but it’s under $300,000 and the property taxes aren’t too horrible (for New Jersey). And gotta love the cinder block style on the inside.
Photos are from the Real Estate Listing.
More on this house and all of Kahn’s other residential projects here.

It’s not Christmastime…
