Hey Lovelies, it's Lio.
Before we start with this Overwatch-themed nail art tutorial I have to tell you my controversial
opinion: mei is the best.
She's a climate scientist, she loves ramen and tea, her voice actress is one of the most
adorable humans on the planet, her cinematic is heartwrenching, and playing her, you can...
you can just FEEL your opponent getting more frustrated.
So guess what...
(N*Sync): It's gonna be Mei.
So what goes well with incandescent rage?
Nail art.
Let's get to it.
{Lio Lovely "Do Do Do"}
Nails are cleaned, prepped, base coated.
You know the drill.
My ring finger is getting a coat of a tan color, and the rest of my fingers are getting
a coat of white.
The tan finger gets a second coat for opacity, then goes into cryogenic sleep for a minute.
I'm not bothering to make the white base opaque because I'm going to grab a latex makeup sponge
to give the other fingers a gradient.
If you have any of that latex peel off cuticle protector stuff, put that on now.
My pinky and pointer fingers get the same gradient, dark blue toward the cuticle, through
light blue.
My middle finger is upside down from that, with white at the bottom going up toward a
midtone blue.
The thumb I'm doing just light blue at the bottom toward white at the top.
Then, we'll clean up with some cotton buds, a cleanup brush, and some acetone.
Before we start nail arting it up in earnest, we're heading over to the nail art mat.
This isn't necessary per se, but I find making custom decals and sticking them on my nail
a lot easier than trying to do more detailed painting on my hand.
If you don't have a mat, a plastic baggie works fine, but you'll have to take even more
care peeling them up at the end.
By far the most challenging aspect of this freehand stuff is going to be Snowball.
I'll be using photos of the plushie as my guide, because it's a lot more simple than
his in game or cinematic model and will therefore be easier to translate into nail polish or
acrylic craft paint.
I hope.
So I'll start by drawing a small upside down triangle in black with my winstonia #0000.
Then, I'll do a big oval on the top and his little ear flaps in this metallic teal.
I have a metallic silver for his little booster things underneath.
At this point hopefully the teal is dry, so I'm going in for the LED readout in black.
Then I'll mix this glow in the dark polish with a bit of white and yellow for the eyes.
This little guy is a TON of polish, so I'm doubly glad we went the nail art mat route
to give him time to dry.
I'm also going to make a small white mug with a pink heart.
The murloc mug Mei used in Rise and Shine is a bit beyond me.
This really doesn't look like a mug at all with just the paint, so I'm going to add top
coat to make the surface nice and smooth, then outline it in felt pen.
The issue is, the felt pen takes for freaking ever to dry.
However, if you apply a layer of topcoat -- preferably no smear -- over it without touching the design
AT ALL, it'll get sealed in there and you won't have to worry about it.
However, like I said felt pen doesn't really dry on here so it's ridiculously easy to smudge.
Tread carefully.
One final decal: the Overwatch logo.
The bare mat makes it easier to get crisp lines, since I can sort of carve polish away
with a toothpick to make things neat.
In this case the lines are so tiny I'm using a blunt needle.
If you're trying to draw the Overwatch logo from memory, thinking of it like a peace sign
can really help.
It's a circle with an orange section at the top, then two lines going up, and the middle
line, which doesn't extend all the way to the bottom or top in this case.
When you're done, make sure all your decals have a healthy coat of top coat to protect
your design and make for easier decal-age later.
We'll move back to the nails while we let those dry.
While it dries, that's a great time to like this video and subscribe to LioLovely for
more nerdy nail art in the future.
I'm just sayin.
On the middle and pinky fingers, I'm just going to stamp some snowflakes, then top coat
them, slap some holo accents over the top on the pinky.
The middle gets the Overwatch logo decal!
Trim any excess top coat from the decal with scissors, then stick it on the nail with a
little clear polish, sealed with a little acetone on a clean up brush, then we'll add
iridescent flaky and holo glitter toppers.
I'm avoiding the center decal on the middle finger, but I'm just going wild on the pinky.
When that's glittery enough for you -- though I'm not sure glittery enough is actually a
thing -- add a top coat, done.
On the ring finger, I'm going to use a knit-looking stamp with a blue and white stripe pattern
like Mei's knit hat at the end of the Rise and Shine short, or her new skin.
Only scrape across once if you can help it.
The more times you scrape, the more blended the stripes will get.
Top coat it, and that one's done.
Before I finish up sticking the logos on, I'm going to add a small bit of white to the
bottom of both the thumb and pointer finger.
It's just a very little bit, so I'm going to paint it on this small bit of ripped up
make up sponge then dab off a bit of the paint on a clear space on my nail art mat.
The pointer finger gets the coffee cup, the same way we did that Overwatch logo. small
bit of clear polish down, and this time I dragged the clear a little bit to smear the
white, so it looks like it's coming out of the cup, then stick the decal on, seal with
the acetone.
I added a couple holo glitters, but it just wasn't quite what I wanted so I went back
to the art pen and added a couple swirls.
Perfect.
Add a top coat and Mei's tea is ready.
Now on to Snowball.
Just like before.
Cut if needed, clear polish, press on, acetone to seal.
Then, because I just need to be extra, I'll place a few scattered holo glitters into Snowball's
ice plume, plus some of that holo glitter topper.
Everything gets one last coat of quick dry top coat and then, because like I said, extraaaa,
the knit hat nail and the coffee mug nail get a coat of matte top coat.
I did the other type first because matte top coat tends to smear really bad.
And that's it!
This Mei tribute look is one of my favorites so far, not in the least because I know somebody,
somewhere out in the world right now is slamming down their mouse or throwing their controller
through a wall and screaming Ah, nerd tears.
I'll see you next time.

How To Use a Massage Chair Remote Control - Massage Chair Remote Control Tutorial - Duration: 3:50.
Hi Michael from Masseuse Massage. I'm just going to explain to you in this
video how to use the remote control for The Remedial Deluxe Plus. It's going to
just be a quick overview if you want more detail there's a few other videos
on how to get a quick start and also how to do the manual functions and run the
air pressure massage. But basically this is just going to explain to you what's
happening on this controller and what all the different sections are for. You
can see this circle here basically has a few things in it the first the inner
circle adjusts the position of the chair. There's three auto set programs that you
can adjust to with this middle button and then you can independently adjust
the feet up and down and the back up and down using these external buttons. The
shoulder position comes into play when the intelligent massage scan has
finished and if you would like the massage range to be a little bit lower
or a little bit higher you can adjust the range by changing this
shoulder position arrows up and down it also is very handy when you're using the
neck massage function to just adjust it by the millimetre to get it in the
perfect position for you. Underneath here you can see you've got intensity buttons
which can be used when you're doing the manual massage functions on the inside
of this flap which again there's a whole video on in another section. If you press
this button here it will adjust the time that your massage is going for and it
will also change it in five minute increments so it'll automatically give
you 20 minutes on most programs and then you can adjust it in five minute
increments up to fourty or back to five, ten, fifteen, 20 minutes
so that's where you look to adjust the position of the chair the strength or
the position of the massage hands the next section on the remote is basically
the front of this flap here you can see everything's grouped together you've got
8 automatic programs you only ever need to press one of those it's pretty
straight forward then you've got your heater button on and off. Basic. You'll
see that it corresponds up here with the red line behind the person sitting in
the chair in addition you have this section here
which is only relevant if you want to download one of our new programs on the
App Store which is there aren't any available at the moment they're all
pre-loaded so you don't need to worry too much about that when I open up this
flap then you've got the manual controls for the massage chair this grouping in
the middle here is to control the massage hands what style of massage
they're doing my favorite is kneading and tapping and also where you would
like it to do that massage whether you want it to fall back one particular spot
and where that particular spot might be. The white section is all for the air
cushions and the intensity and what you want on and off and then you've got here
you've got speed and width width group together because on some of these manual
programs you can adjust the speed, and/or the width. The sole roller is a
critical one too you can adjust the speed of the sole roller in the amazing
foot massager or you can turn it off and don't forget these two buttons down the
bottom if you own the chair and you don't want to have to go through the minute
and a half intelligence scan every time you use it make sure you save your if
you're the owner save it in m1 and then every time you sit in the chair you just
press m1 and we'll bypass that scan. That is a basic overview of the remote
control where everything's grouped together to help you focus and
work out exactly how to use it a little bit easier thanks very much

Consumo Consciente e o Princípio dos 3 R´s (Conscious Consumption and the 3 R´s principle) - Duration: 4:16.
Hi everyone, welcome to our last video about Conscious Consumption!
Today we are going to discuss about ´trash´... but what trash has to do with this?
Well, as I mentioned in our first video, one of the ways to have a conscious consumption
it is to understand how we will discard something after using it...
and the main reason of this is the fact that we produce too much trash
and this cause a huge impact in our environment.
And as I also mentioned in the first video,
we are already using more than 30% of the natural resources available,
so we can´t leave behind the subject about what we are doing with our ´trash´.
So, today I will explain to you the principle of 3 R´s.
3 R´s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle,
it is present for us to avoid wasting in our consumption habits,
to reduce the production of residues and reduce the use of natural resources.
Reduce: think before consuming something, reduce the consumption,
and at the same time to give preference to things that could last longer,
this way the time lapse between the act of consuming will decrease and also the trash produced.
Reuse: reuse what was bought, for example juice glass, after consuming the juice
we can reuse the glass. And usually any other package can be reused,
so we do not produce trash every time we buy something.
Recycle: is to use as a raw material to a new product a material already used.
As an example we already know that is possible to produce paper using recycled paper.
Cardboard, cans, glass, and plastics,
all of this can be recycled.
And to facilitate the process of recycling, it is important to bring the materials
already separated to the collected area.
The Akatu Institute is a non-governamntal organization,
has the objective to bring awareness to the Conscious Consumption to the population.
The Akatu Institute proposed a new R, the 4th R.
The new ´R ´ brings the idea of Rethink.
Rethink the act of consuming and what are the impacts of those acts.
As I mentioned in the previous video, every consuming act has a positive and a negative impact.
And so it is very important that we can start to rethink our consuming habits,
and how this affect our society, the environment and ourselves.
So, the 4th ´R´ is the Rethink action.
In our next series, we will talk more about waste...
this time about how we are wasting food that is still good for consumption.
And that´s why we started to talk about trash and how we can reduce those facts
I hoped you all enjoyed my videos, with very important information and at the same time very simple
and that we all can apply in our daily lives.
What we expected now from you, is that you start to have a
Conscious Consumption!!
Thank you, see you all next time!
Bye!

How To Generate Passive Income During This Crazy Economic Bubble - Duration: 1:16.
- If you are an entrepreneur I'd be willing to bet
you are bad at one thing,
and that one thing is generating what we would truly
consider passive income.
We as entrepreneurs work so hard.
We talk about it being passive income, and it's actually
like work 23 hours of the day type of income,
and I think that the, the real key to success
is building business and investing the profits,
and so seldom do we talk about the investing the profits
piece, and right now with asset prices
and the stock market at all time highs
finding passive income is actually really hard right now,
so I just invited someone on the podcast who specifically
runs an investment group that is all about
looking for passive income and I have switched
my investment strategy to just looking for people like that,
and look at what they're doing
and trying to either copy or invest with them.
So I invited Andrew Lanoie on to the podcast to talk
about their model, and if you're an entrepreneur
who really is just in this for the freedom and the
passive income, you're really gonna benefit
from this, so click on the link to go listen
to the episode on Freedom Fast Lane and I think
you're gonna get a lot of it.
Hope you enjoy it.

A Teenage Tyrant | The Life & Times of Nero - Duration: 6:02.
You've probably heard about Nero, the Roman Emperor who went so mad with power he thought
he could pull off a neckbeard in public.
And yes, we're going to talk about all the bat ship insanity surrounding this boy, because
boy oh boy has he got it in spades.
But the most bizarre thing about him... is that he had a lot going for him.
[INTRO]
So, Emperor Claudius wants to lock down his royal bloodline and puts a ring on a pretty
girl with relation to the big man Augustus himself.
Her name is Agrippina and she's also his niece.
Claudius already has an heir, but Agrippina's got her own son from another marriage and
he marries Claudius' daughter, i.e. his….
second cousin, basically he's next in line because Claudius says so.
And then Claudius dies under suspicious circumstances before he gets the chance to change his mind.
So now little Nero is in charge of the biggest most powerful empire on the planet, fight
me Han dynasty.
But he wasn't really in charge because mother dearest was pulling the strings, and she brought help
She recruited a wise man named Seneca, who had been banished for being too close to Caligula's
sisters (Agrippina, by the way, was Caligula's sister) to be Nero's tutor and a man named
Burrus to be captain of the royal guard.
Basically these three were the chains holding Nero back from all the craziness he got up
to later.
For right now, though, Nero's looking pretty good, he's promising to respect the Senate
and to keep his personal life out of politics.
His mom, however, rather wanted his personal life to be all up in politics, seeing as Nero
was effectively her crown.
She likely anticipated that her teenage son would have a rebellious phase, so she had
a plan.
She'd killed off most of Nero's competition, but Claudius' son was still around and she'd
threaten to put him in charge if she needed to keep Nero in line
That is until one fateful dinner party where young Britannicus says to his cousin, "Wow,
thanks for the party, this sure is some great wi…."
(gagging and choking).
Cross me again, mother.
See what happens!
And his rebellious streak only grows.
This may or may not have had to do with wanting to get out of one marriage and into another, but in
any case, little Nero resorts to matricide.
He orders a boat with a lead ceiling that will drop down, crushing the passengers and
sinking the ship. The perfect crime
Well it fails to crush his mother when it drops onto a couch, and it failed to sink
the ship so the guards had to do it themselves.
And then Agrippina sees one of her friends approach the guards like "Hey, I'm the
emperor's mom, get me out of here!"
"You sure about that?"
"Yes!"
"Okeydokey"
And she decides to swim to shore instead.
Nero gets words that his mother has survived a terrible and completely unforeseen accident,
and summons Burrus and Senaca.
They're like "I don't want to do this, do you want to do this?"
"No way man, I don't want to do this" "I think it's best the ship builder do
this."
Back at the beach, Agrippina's in a house now… but also surrounded by a crowd of onlookers?
That is until Nero's thugs show up with the ship builder and what's done in done.
Other than that, though, Nero's been doing pretty well as an emperor.
Seneca's been a pretty rad tutor, Nero forbid a law allowing for the re-enslavement of freedmen,
he worked with the Senate to reform adoption laws, and his war against Parthia is going
swimmingly!
And then, of course, there's the fire.
Chances are you're familiar with the image of Nero fiddling while Rome burns, and yeah
he scapegoated Christians while making sure to use that newly cleared land to build his
party palace, but he also opened said party palace to citizens who had lost their homes
in the fire, and worked extensively to prevent a disaster of the same caliber happening again
- he paid to rebuild the city, offered insurance, increased the city's water supply, passed
new construction codes, he may have played while Rome burned, but man alive did he work
to rebuild it.
Unfortunately chain number two snapped not too long ago.
Burrus was lucky enough to die of natural causes, and it's around this time that Nero's
most peculiar behaviour starts to show itself, but really it wasn't all so bad.
Yes, he delayed the Olympics by a year and added artistic events so he could win them,
perhaps it was silly and undignified, but it offered him direct contact with the common
people of Rome and boosted his popular image quite a bit.
Being a bride at his wedding probably helped his image less, but hey, it's the perks of being an emperor.
And it's not like he was making his horse a senator or upending the religious order of the entire empire
Talking about Elagabalus, here, not Constantine.
And sure he decorated his home with a nude statue of himself the size of Lady Liberty,
which… (sexy sax)
Okay he wasn't exactly thrifty.
Seneca sees this giant statue and everything else going on and politely asks to retire.
Nero refuses, maybe he doesn't want any bad press, so Seneca retires without "retiring".
You'd think that would keep him out of trouble, but not so! Piso, a descendant of Caesar's
super best friends Pompey and Crassus, organizes a conspiracy to take Nero down.
Seneca is implicated mostly through paranoia and ordered to commit suicide, which he handles
like a champ.
His wife sees what's going on and he's all "Don't worry dear, no need to be alarmed.
Little Nero sent these men, he'd like me to slit my wrists, care to join me?
Oh dear, not bleeding enough,good thing I carry hemlock with me.
Oh, drat, I don't think I have quite enough - tell you what, gimme a hot bath,
the steam'll probably do me in."
Unfortunately for Nero, the next conspiracy against him makes a much bigger splash, and
this time all his friends are dead
He gets news that even the Senate wants to kill him, and he can't run to the East
because his poncy officer started quoting Virgil at him instead of taking orders, so
he's stuck in a villa four miles outside Rome with a handful of freedmen, ordering
them to dig his grave.
while the sound of horses draws nearer.
So he orders his secretary to kill him, shouting "Alas!
What an artist the world loses today!"
And then the horsemen arrive.
"Hey, the Senate wants to talk things out before - Jesus!
What the hell happened here?"
So yeah.
He was a monster.
To Christian church turned
he was a downright antichrist, but for many people in Rome he was the opposite
Because for centuries after his death, people throughout the empire believed that one day
Nero would return to save the world
So the next time someone says Nero was just a heartless fire-starter, hopefully now you'll
know better.
Hey, I'm pretty sure that's my line!
Uh oh - gotta run!

Theme Park Plans w/ Coaster Studios, Koaster Kids, OVC and more! - Duration: 2:15.
Ha ha yes, I'm going to Europe.
Oh wait
As some of you probably already know, some american bois under the names Coaster Studios,
Koaster Kids and Ohio Valley Coasters are going on a huge Theme Park trip around Europe.
Fortunately, I'll be joining part of their journey as well.
I'll be visiting Walibi Holland on the 20th June, Heide Park on the 21st of June and
Hansa Park 22nd of June.
As well as Thorpe Park on the 26th of June, Alton Towers on the 27th and 28th of June,
and finally Blackpool Pleasure Beach on the 29th of June.
If you'd like to meet myself, Taylor, Chad, Logan or the legendary Koaster Dad; please
do join us at some the parks!
Also, to help fund the trip, we've decided to produced limited edition t-shirts.
These shirts were created by Stephanie of Emotional Roller Coasters.
You'll find a link to her great artwork below, please do check it out.
As members of the coaster bot discord have already pointed out,
you should join that discord by the way, link below,
the shirts feature the one and only anime Harry, in front of the fantastic
Gerstlauer roller coaster that is Karnan.
If you aren't a fan of just me, you'll find anime Taylor, Logan and Chad on there also!
Shirts cost $25 US Dollars, whatever those are, and can be found at coastertrip.com.
If you aren't into shirts, the design is available in poster form for 20 dollars also.
The first 30 posters will be autographed by all 4 YouTube channels, as well as their designer,
Stephanie; so get on that fast.
The deadline to order shirts is the 15th of May, allowing them to ship before the trip
actually happens.
The posters, on the other hand, will remain available for a while, and will ship after
the trip, allowing for everyone to sign them.
Shipping costs 5 dollars in the US, and 15 elsewhere.
Personally, I'd like to think that you can't put a price on anime me,
but someone had to do it to em'.
Anyway, this limited merch will go directly into funding the trip, which ultimately means
more, fresh content for your guys down the line.
You can check out all the details of the entire tour, as well as the merch at coastertrip.com.
Thank you for watching and I hope to see you at some of the parks in the very near future.

Does Your Dog Love You? - Duration: 5:06.
[INTRO♪]
Dogs may be man's best friend, but it's hard to tell if the feeling is mutual.
It's tough to figure out what's going on in anyone's head,
let alone a species that can't talk.
But there are techniques researchers use to look for emotions in animals,
and studies suggest that dogs do form deep emotional bonds with people.
And their ability to do that might be why they became our best friends in the first place.
Dogs certainly do things that seem loving,
and not just when they snuggle up to you on the couch for some extra pets.
Research suggests that your dog has your back, for example,
and will snub those who snub you.
And if it seems like your pup tries to console you when you're sad,
that might not be your imagination.
In studies, they do seem to display empathetic concern,
like nuzzling a person when they're sobbing,
or becoming anxious at the sound of an infant crying.
Dogs are also able to distinguish among human emotions by smell alone
because how we feel changes the chemicals in our sweat.
So even if you're putting on a brave face, they probably still know you're sad.
But none of that is love, per se.
To find evidence for emotions, researchers have looked to see
if dogs exhibit the same physiological responses we do when we feel things.
For example, a 2015 study used fMRI, which monitors brain activity based on blood flow,
to look at how 12 dogs reacted to the smell of themselves,
people they knew, strangers, and familiar and unfamiliar dogs.
The scent of people they knew activated an area of the brain that the other smells didn't:
the caudate nucleus, the same part of the brain's reward system
that activates when we humans look at pictures of people we love.
Other lines of research have looked at oxytocin levels.
Oxytocin is sometimes called the 'love hormone,'
which is a major oversimplification of how it affects your body and brain,
but it does seem to play a big part in creating and maintaining emotional bonds.
And when you interact with people you love—
like when you hold your baby, or flirt with your partner—
the levels of oxytocin in your blood and saliva jump.
Studies have found that there's a similar rise when you play with your dog,
for both you and them, and that just gazing into each other's eyes
can be enough to cause a mutual spike.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that your dog loves you—
or that you love your dog.
Psychologists are quick to note that it's impossible to prove emotions with physiological tests.
Even with people, blood tests don't equal feelings.
You can ask if someone loves you, but there's no lab result
that can tell you if they mean it when they say yes.
So a lot of our understanding of dogs' emotions comes from
the same techniques used in studies on emotions in humans—
especially humans that can't convey their feelings verbally, like babies.
Psychologists study infant attachment by looking for certain key behaviors:
things like seeking physical closeness with their caregivers,
becoming more adventurous when they're nearby,
and being distressed when they're separated.
And multiple studies have found that the bond between dogs and their owners
is super similar to the bond between children and their caregivers.
For example, both babies and dogs have done Strange Situation Procedure tests,
where you watch them while they're left in a room either alone,
with a stranger, with their parent or owner, or with some other combination of people.
And while both babies and dogs seek physical closeness with their person,
they also tend to display more independence by
exploring or reacting more positively to strangers when their caregiver is around.
That's probably because their caregiver acts as a safe base of support,
giving them the security they need to take risks.
Both babies and dogs also tend to get distraught when their person leaves
and seek comfort from them when they return,
suggesting they're a kind of "safe haven" that reduces stress.
Studies like these have even revealed different attachment styles in dogs,
similar to what's been described for how people bond with their parents.
It makes sense that babies and dogs have similar types of bonds with those that raise them.
Dogs are a social species, too, and when they're young,
they rely entirely on whomever cares for them to survive.
Scientists think that in humans, that reliance is part of why we form such strong social bonds.
So it wouldn't be too surprising if dogs have
similar psychological pathways to reinforce their own social bonds.
And some researchers think their ability to form these bonds
especially across species, is a big part of why they ended up being our companions.
They connect with us in a way we find meaningful.
So, the science does suggest that your dog is deeply attached to you.
But attachment doesn't necessarily translate to love.
Psychologists still debate whether love can be measured,
if non-human animals are cognitively capable of feeling it, or even what love really is.
Science can tell you that certain chemicals spike
when your dog interacts with you, and show the strength of their attachment.
But whether that really means your dog loves you is a question science can't fully answer.
You'll just have to look into those big round eyes, scratch an ear,
and decide for yourself.

Toyota Crown (I - VI) - Duration: 21:10.
The Crown were introduced in 1955 in Japan to meet the demands of public transportation.
The Crown was intended for private purchase, while the Master served in a commercial form as a taxi, both with the same 1.5 L Type R engine used on their previous car, the Toyopet Super.
The front doors open conventionally, and the rear doors are "suicide doors", a feature also utilized on the Toyota AA, Toyota's first car.
Small engine displacements were used to keep the vehicle affordable, as the Japanese Government began to impose an annual road tax to help develop and maintain a national transportation infrastructure in 1950.
The appearance of the Crown shows some similarities with the European Ford Versailles and Simca Vedette.
The Crown was much more popular than the Master due to the more compliant suspension of the Crown, and while the Master was intended for taxi service, the Crown was more accepted by the market over the Master, and more Crowns were sold into taxi service than the Master.
The Crown was designed to replace the Super but Toyota was not sure if its independent front coil suspension and its suicide type rear doors were too radical for the taxi market to bear.
A six-door wagon known as the Airport Limousine was shown as a concept car at the 1961 Tokyo Motor Show. It did not go into production.
Its coil and double wishbone independent front suspension was a departure from the leaf sprung live axle front suspension used on most previous models but was similar to the independent front suspension used on the 1947 Toyopet SA.
In 1958 it introduced a Ball joint suspension. Production of the Masterline pickup started in April 1957 by the former Central Motors.
In August 1957, three Toyota delegates with the intent to establish a sales company in the United States introduced a white and black Crown and Crown Deluxe at a public relations event attended by dealers and the media.
Both models were constructed with 50% thicker steel than the average American car at the time and the black Deluxe model was nicely appointed with lots of chrome and luxurious items like a radio, heater and whitewall tires which prompted the press to liken it to a "baby Cadillac".
This promising initial showing along with the strong reputation of the Crown in Japan gave Toyota the confidence to pursue exports to the United States despite known high-speed performance issues.
As a publicity stunt to demonstrate the car's reliability, Toyota staged a campaign common to American automakers: a coast-to-coast endurance run from Los Angeles to New York.
The Toyopet was barely able to limp into Las Vegas before the project had to be called off.
Toyota's first export to the United States began with 30 Crown Deluxe's in June 1958 after establishing Toyota Motor Sales USA the previous October, the first directly managed retail dealer (Hollywood Toyota) the previous February, U.S. wholesale and import companies, and a parts warehouse in Long Beach.
oyota also signs up 45 dealers to sell cars in its initial year, growing to 70 dealers by 1960 and 90 by 1962.
In the effort to obtain certification from the California Highway Patrol for the sale of the Crown in California, Toyota shipped the cars without headlights and installed General Electric sourced sealed beam units upon arrival which met the required standard for brightness.
For 1958, Toyota introduced the Crown in sedan form only (Standard and Deluxe) with a base price of $2187.
Options included $94 AM radio and $75 whitewall tires.
By the end of 1960, Toyota Motor Sales USA had accumulated 1.42 million dollars in losses from lackluster sales of the Crown.
In November 2000, Toyota released the Origin, a retro version of the RS series Crown to celebrate 100 million vehicles having been built in Japan.
Due to the introduction of the Corona, the dramatically restyled and enlarged Series S40 was launched in 1962, and saw the introduction of the Custom model.
According to the Japanese Wikipedia article for the Crown, the styling was said to be influenced by the recently introduced Ford Falcon in 1960.
The front grille approach has a similar appearance to the 1960 Imperial Crown (Chrysler), which speaks to Toyota's aspirations that the Crown be a large, comfortable sedan.
The station wagon body style carried over from the previous generation Masterline, but with more attention to the luxurious approach used on the Crown.
Headlights were integrated within the boundaries of the greatly enlarged grille, providing a clean, modern appearance.
A 2-speed automatic transmission was introduced, called Toyoglide, with a column shift.
A bigger and better car than the previous S30 series, it initially had four-cylinder R-series engines before the addition of the "M" six-cylinder engine in 1965.
Deluxe and Super Deluxe models were available with added features.
The sedan and wagon were known simply as the Crown while the commercial vehicles (coupe utility, double cab coupe utility (pick ups), and van) were known as the Masterline.
There was also a limited run of the sedan known as the Toyota Crown S (MS41S) which featured twin SU style carburettors on the 2.0L M in-line-six engine, sportier camshaft, sports instrumentation, sports suspension, 4 speed floor shift, bucket seats, 14 inch wheels, disc brakes on the front and larger drum brakes in the rear.
This Crown became the first Toyota to be exported to Europe, after the head of Denmark's Erla Auto Import A/S saw it at the Tokyo Motor Show.
They brought in 190 of these subsequent to a May 1963 agreement.
In the US, the MS41L sedan was available in the US for $2,305.00 PoE while the MS46LG station wagon was available for $2,525.00 PoE.
Some optional features include an automatic transmission for $160 and a radio for $60.
A two-door Crown Convertible was displayed at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show, based on the Crown 1900 sedan. It was not put into production.
This Crown generation was the first to be assembled in Australia, from CKD kits, by AMI in Port Melbourne, with significant local content.
AMI, which assembled numerous brands including Triumph and, for a short time, Mercedes-Benz, was to become the basis of Toyota's current Australian manufacturing operation.
The longer, wider and more upmarket Crown Eight (ja:トヨタ・クラウンエイト) was introduced in 1964 for the Japanese market, powered by a 2.6 L V8 engine.
However, it had a different model designation, VG10.
The car was first introduced at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show and introduced for sale on April 20, 1964, nine days before Emperor Showa's birthday and the beginning of Golden Week in Japan.
The Crown Eight was designed primarily to replace full-sized American automobiles that were commonly used by major corporations.
The Crown Eight represents the first Japanese mass-produced vehicle with an 8-cylinder engine.
The main rivals at the time were the Prince Gloria Super, Mitsubishi Debonair, and Nissan Cedric Special, all equipped with a six-cylinder engine.
It was the first Crown to exceed vehicle size classification regulations in length, width and engine displacement capacity.
The width at 1,845 mm (72.6 in) compares to the Century at 1,890 mm (74 in), and as such no Crown before or since, including the Crown Majesta, has matched the width dimension of the Crown Eight until the year 2008 for Crown and 2009 for Majesta.
The Crown Eight was considered as a possible submission for use by the Japanese Imperial Household Agency as a car to be used by senior members of the Imperial House of Japan, but it lost out to the Nissan Prince Royal.
The Crown Eight was replaced in 1967 by the first Century with the model code VG20.
Approx 3,800 Crown Eights were produced.
Some of the items that were exclusive to the Crown Eight were climate control, automatic headlamps, electrically powered windows, electric cruise control,
a three-speed "Toyoglide" automatic transmission, and electromagnetic door latches, which were also installed on the Crown Eight successor, the Century.
Launched in 1967, the mechanicals were much the same as the previous generation, but additional equipment was included.
Higher specification models used the 2.0-liter M engine or the 2.3-liter 2M engine.
A premium level Super Saloon joined the Super Deluxe model, and was available with the 2M engine including twin carburettors, electric windows, rear seat radio controls, air conditioning and luxury fabric on the seating including the crown logo embossed into the vinyl.
Lower specified models were equipped with the R-series four-cylinder engines.
The previous approach of manufacturing Crown vehicles for commercial use, called the Masterline, was discontinued with this generation.
Masterline pickups were produced by the former Central Motor Co., Ltd. until December 1970.
When the 1967 S50 series Crown was introduced to Japan, television commercials used Japanese actor Satoshi Yamamura, who among his many roles on stage, movie, and television, portrayed Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto in the 1970s movie Tora! Tora! Tora!
Yamamura would serve as the Crown spokesman for 16 years, introducing subsequent new generations of Crown products until 1983.
The Crown range now included the 4-door station wagon, pick-up (rare), double cab pick-up (very rare) and the new two-door hardtop "personal luxury car".
In 1969 the Crown received a facelift for the headlight, grill and trim arrangement.
The Crown S used the two-litre 'six', but due to sportier tuning it produced more power than the larger 2M, 125 PS (92 kW) at 5,800 rpm versus 115 PS (85 kW) at 5,200 rpm.
The commercial versions were fitted with the six-cylinder "M" engine (M-C) produce 105 PS (77 kW), while the four-cylinder 5R had to make do with 93 PS (68 kW).
This generation was the only one to use a double-hinged tailgate, as the next generation converted to an overhead-lifting hatchback door.
Crown's that were equipped with the 2,253 cc 2M engine were no longer classified as compact cars under Japanese vehicle size classification regulations, even though the length and width were still in compliance.
Toyota offered the larger engine so that buyers who were traditionally served by the Crown could now choose the all-new Corona Mark II in 1968.
This allowed Toyota to reposition the Crown as the top level privately available luxury sedan, with much nicer interior treatments, more spacious accommodations.
This was the last generation for the pick-up versions of the Crown, as load carrying was ceded to the new Toyota Hilux in February 1971.
Australian market models were assembled in Australia by Australian Motor Industries.
This generation was imported fully assembled into New Zealand from 1968 to 1971.
Notable features on the wagon were:
7 or 8-passenger seating (2 on front buckets or 3 on a bench seat, 3 on a rear bench seat and 2 on a fold up cargo seat),
a powered rear window, a side swing tailgate.
Launched in Feb 1971, the 4M 2600 engine was introduced with this generation, as was the luxurious Super Saloon trim level, followed by the Super Deluxe and Deluxe.
The top of the line Royal Saloon was first introduced in the face-lifted Crown from 1973, adding luxury features from the Century limousine.
The 2.0-liter 5R inline-four engine and the 2.0-liter M six-cylinder engine were also available.
As for the previous generation, the M-C engine (in Japanese specifications) has 105 PS (77 kW; 104 bhp), while the 5R's output increased somewhat to 98 PS (72 kW; 97 bhp).
In some markets the previous 2.3 litre "2M" six remained available, in sedan or "utility wagon" forms.
The Utility Wagon was a version halfway between commercial and passenger car, and had chassis codes MS67V until the early 1973 facelift when it was replaced by the MS68V with the 2.6 engine.
The Sedan and Wagon (Custom) are coded RS60/MS60/MS64/MS65 and MS62/MS63, while the Van was coded MS66V with the two liter "six".
The Hardtop Coupé is MS70 (2.0-liter), or MS75 (2.6-liter).
The Japanese market Crown Custom (Wagon) was classified as a seven-seater.
This generation was the first Crown marketed as a Toyota in Japan, as previous models were marketed as Toyopets.
Also, in Japan, this model was known as the "blue whale" or "kujira" Crown.
In 1973, Japanese television commercials introduced Japanese actress Sayuri Yoshinaga as a co-spokeswoman, joining Satoshi Yamamura, and together they appeared in commercials until 1983.
While the domestic market Hardtop has rectangular halogen headlights, all export models come with twin round headlights.
This model achieved few sales in the US, possibly due to its styling with flush bumpers, called "spindle-shaped in period marketing.)
Only the first two years were imported to the USA, where it was the last Crown to be sold.
The Corona Mark II, replaced the Crown in North America.
The trunk could be opened remotely by turning the ignition key to the far left, and a button on the floor caused the radio to engage the signal seeking feature.
A separate signal seeking feature was installed for rear seat passengers, installed behind the front seat facing the rear seat compartment.
The 60-series Crown underwent a facelift in January 1973.
Australian models were assembled in Australia by AMI.
It was available in New Zealand fully imported from 1971 to 1973, with local assembly beginning at Steels Motor Assemblies, who also built the Corona, not long before the mid-life facelift, improving availability.
Steels subsequently became Toyota NZ's Christchurch CKD assembly plant.
Launched in 1974 in Japan, export began from 1975.
It was offered as four-door sedan, two-door hardtop coupe, four-door hardtop sedan, wagon, and van.
Engines are 2.0 and 2.6-liter gasoline.
The 2.2-liter diesel was introduced in October 1977.
Trim levels are Standard, Deluxe, Super Saloon, and Royal Saloon.
The Royal Saloon came in a longer bodylength, coupled with the 2.6L engine while lower trim levels were in the shorter bodystyle and 2.0 L engines.
Export models used the same body whether the two-litre 5R four-cylinder or the 2.6-litre 4M inline-six.
In Europe, these models claimed 87 and 112 PS (64 and 82 kW) respectively.
Minor change was given in 1978.
This version of the Crown saw the introduction of disc brakes at both the front and rear axles with anti-lock brakes, speed sensitive power steering, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Originally, sedans and wagons had S80-series chassis numbers, while the two- and four-door hardtops received the S90-series chassis numbers.
After 1976 and concurrent with the introduction of new stricter emissions regulations, all Japanese market Crowns used S100-series chassis numbers.
Export models continued to use the previous codes.
Initially available with the "old style" 4M engine with rounded valve cover, later models switched to the new 4M engine with rectangular valve cover.
This generation also saw the introduction of fuel injection on both the 2.6-liter 4M and the 2.0-liter M engines, coupled with Toyota's TTC-C technology, adding a catalytic converter to the exhaust system.
The emissions controlling technology badge helped identify which vehicles had reduced emissions tax liability.
Select models also were available with four-wheel disc brakes and twin piston calipers on the front brakes.
Launched in 1979, this model had the engine upgraded from the 2.6 L to 2.8 L 5M-EU model.
The 2-liter M was still on offer along with a turbocharged version—the M-TEU.
The carburated 5M engine was also available in certain markets.
In this series the model designation referred to the engine size — MS110 (2-liter), MS111 (2.6-liter), MS112 (2.8-liter).
This was the last generation to install a four-cylinder, gasoline-powered engine.
This model was the first generation Crown to be sold in Germany, beginning in 1980.
The fuel injected 2.8 developed 145 PS (107 kW) in European trim, while the 2.2 diesel offered 66 PS (49 kW) and a choice of five-speed manual or an automatic (not in the Station Wagon).
European sales started out at a respectable level, but with prices increasing at an alarming rate due to the appreciation of the yen, sales had dropped drastically by 1982.
Early models have twin rectangular headlights, while facelift models come with bigger monoblock headlights.
Domestic market Royal Saloons use the large rectangular headlights.
Lower grades Van and Taxi models adopted round headlights.
Royal Saloon features longer bumpers and bigger engines, which were placed in a larger road tax classification according to Japanese Government dimension regulations.
The first Crown Turbo was launched in October 1980 for Japanese market only.
Offering the 2.0 L engines was for buyers who didn't want to pay the large car tax, while offering better fuel economy than the larger engines.
The turbo also provided a benefit in increasing fuel efficiency while reducing tailpipe emissions as Japanese consumers pay a tax on the amount of regulated substances being sent into the atmosphere from a Japanese law passed in the 1970s.
In some export markets, such as Southeast Asia, the larger six-cylinder engines came fitted with carburettors.
In those specs, the 2.6 offered 110 PS (81 kW) SAE net while the 2.8 claimed 128 PS (94 kW) DIN or 120 SAE net.
Sales in Indonesia were low and this generation was not replaced there in 1984, when the 120-series Crown appeared.

2018 Ford Expedition Review: A Massive Improvement - Duration: 13:38.
The verdict: Big, bold and fully updated, the Expedition has the goods to take the sales
crown away from the Chevrolet Tahoe.
Versus the competition: It may not have a V-8, but you won't miss the two extra cylinders;
it has plenty of power and more usable space and useful technology than any other SUV in
the class.
Just as minivans replaced the family station wagon in the 1980s, so too did big SUVs vanquish
those vans in the 1990s.
Since then, however, the Great Recession and occasional gas price shocks have returned
the largest SUVs to their original role in the market: expensive vehicles bought by people
who need big, multi-passenger vehicles that can tow a lot of weight.
The segment leaders are the Chevrolet Tahoe and its longer sibling, the Suburban, and
it isn't hard to figure out why: Their main competitor, the Ford Expedition, hadn't seen
a major update in almost a decade.
Now all that has changed.
Behold the behemoth: an all-new 2018 Ford Expedition that aims to knock the Chevy off
its top-truck throne — as it did in our Full-Size SUV Challenge.
Old-School Truck, New-School Materials Like the old Expedition, the new one maintains
traditional, trucklike body-on-frame construction.
Under the skin, the Expedition is an F-150 enhanced with an independent rear suspension
instead of a solid live axle.
This arrangement also allows for a lower load floor in the cargo area, enabling the third
row to fold away completely — an advantage over the Chevy Tahoe's seats, which fold flat
but not into the floor.
The Tahoe's raised floor eats into cargo space and makes it more difficult to load objects.
Like the F-150, the Expedition's body is now aluminum, but the weight difference for 2018
isn't that significant — just a 119-pound decrease for the base trim versus a comparable
2017 Expedition.
Ford added all kinds of equipment and sound insulation that serve to offset some of the
benefit of lightweight aluminum.
The body looks slick, with a new and thoroughly modern appearance that's much more in keeping
with the modern style of truck: high beltline, smaller windows and chunkier style.
It's fresh, attractive and has a distinctly more aerodynamic look than the outgoing model.
The Expedition comes in two lengths: Expedition and Expedition Max (formerly Expedition EL).
The extra room doesn't do anything for passenger space, but it does increase the cargo area
behind the third row, so you're not forced to choose between extra rear passengers and
extra luggage capacity.
My primary test vehicle was a regular-length Expedition, though Cars.com editors have also
driven the Max.
Old-Style Power, New-Style Engine Powering the new Expedition is Ford's ubiquitous
twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, a carryover engine.
It puts out a healthy 375 horsepower in most trim levels and 400 hp in the top Platinum.
New to the setup is a standard 10-speed automatic transmission — available with either rear-
or all-wheel drive — and an electronic limited-slip differential.
Fire up the V-6 and it sounds like a well-tuned turbo-diesel.
Some of the engine's noise is artificially generated through the stereo (all that soundproofing
would prevent you from hearing the engine otherwise), but the sound that does come through
is a fun mix of whooshing turbos and raspy exhaust.
It sounds sufficiently butch for the truck it powers.
I found driving it to be quite a pleasant surprise, as well — the V-6 more than adequately
powers the Expedition in both regular and Max versions, and it gets even punchier when
you twist the rotary drive mode selector into Sport.
Climbing the canyons above Malibu, Calif., handling the tight, twisting sweepers, descending
into quick switchbacks — the Expedition exudes confidence and stability.
Sport mode tightens up steering feedback and changes both accelerator sensitivity and transmission
shift points, making those twisties even easier to take.
Nobody will confuse the Expedition for a Mustang, but it by no means embarrasses itself on high-speed,
challenging roads.
Ride quality is also outstanding.
Wheel sizes vary from 18 to 22 inches depending on trim level and equipment.
Higher-spec trims get an electronically adjustable suspension, but lesser models' suspensions
provide a smooth, well-controlled ride, as well; there are no crazy, tippy body motions.
If you need an off-road rig, Ford's got you covered there, too: An FX4 package is available
that brings underbody protection, a low-range transfer case, special tuning for the electronic
limited-slip differential, Michelin Primacy tires on smaller wheels, off-road shocks,
a heavy-duty radiator and unique badging.
Hooked up to a 5,500-pound camper, my Expedition towed like a champ, chugging up 6 percent
inclines with ease, accelerating despite the load it hauled.
The 10-speed automatic is well-matched to the engine, holding gears on downhill grades
to save the Expedition's brakes and maintain easy control.
The instrument panel also shows you tons of information, such as which gear the transmission's
in at any given time.
Trailer sway control comes with a heavy-duty towing package, as does Ford's super-nifty
Pro Trailer Backup Assist feature, which allows you to back up a trailer using a dedicated
rotary knob on the dash and backup cameras.
It takes the guesswork and trial and error out of backing up a trailer, making even the
newest novice look like a veteran trucker.

Where the Expedition falls short is in fuel economy, especially when towing.
It also features a smaller gas tank than its main competition, meaning its overall range
is notably shorter.
The regular Expedition is EPA-rated at 17/24/20 mpg city/highway/combined with two-wheel drive,
17/22/19 mpg with four-wheel drive.
The longer Expedition Max clocks in at 17/23/19 mpg with 2WD, 16/21/18 mpg with 4WD.
In a recent real-world test for the Full-Size SUV Challenge, my Expedition 4WD achieved
21.5 mpg in combined driving, better than its 19 mpg rating.
But that number dropped dramatically to 10.2 mpg when towing a camper — a steeper loss
than the V-8-powered competitors in our Challenge exhibited, though still not the lowest mpg.
Turns out that the twin-turbocharged engines positively suck down the petrol when you put
the engine under some serious load, as I did up and down the hills of eastern Arizona.
Combine that with the smaller gas tank, and you'll be making frequent pit stops if you're
towing a trailer cross-country.
Better Inside, But Details Are Important The interior looks as if it could have been
lifted directly from the F-150, with all the pros and cons that entails.
It's spacious, with excellent outward visibility, but the front seats feel unsupportive over
longer voyages.
One of our taller reviewers could not get comfortable, with his legs always at an angle
and most of his thighs unsupported by the oddly short bottom cushions.
The backseats are high, with plenty of room, and the ability to slide fore and aft means
passengers in the two rear rows can negotiate legroom amongst themselves.
The third row is usable for adults even when the second row is adjusted all the way rearward;
slide it forward a bit and there really isn't a bad seat in the house.
The second row also tilts and slides forward at the touch of a button, making ingress to
the third row easier.
Materials quality in the cabin is mixed.
The F-150 isn't known for having the best environment in its own class; it features
plenty of hard plastic and seams between parts that simply don't flow together well.
Some of this, like plastic molding seams on the grab handles, can be chalked up to early
build quality, but some of it is simply how it's designed — it's a pickup truck that's
been given a healthy makeover, but it's still a pickup truck in the ways that count.
For a vehicle that can easily approach $90,000 in fully loaded Platinum trim and even top
$70,000 for a well-equipped Limited model, this kind of detail is important.
All the fancy quilted leather in the world doesn't excuse the fact that other parts look
cheap.
The Latest Tech Thankfully, Ford loads you up with tech goodies
for that kind of coin, including gadgets that entertain (you can stream live TV to the entertainment
system via Slingplayer and Sync 3, or even hook up a big-screen TV for tailgating), some
that keep you safe (all kinds of lane-keeping aids, steering aids, anti-collision aids and
autonomous braking systems), and some that help you drive (like the aforementioned trailer
backup assist).
The high-end audio system is by the new B&O Play brand, a division of Bang & Olufsen,
and it sounds fantastic.
The entire experience in the Expedition is one of a significant upgrade, easily on par
with the Chevy and GMC models on many levels and surpassing them in flexibility, spaciousness
and amenities.
All This Utility Does Not Come Cheap If you haven't priced out a full-size SUV
in awhile, you'd better sit down for this next part.
The starting price for an Expedition XL 4x2 is $49,290 including destination charges,
but you'll never see that price on a dealer lot — they're meant for fleet sales to utilities
or city governments.
Far more likely to be found is an XLT trim, which starts at $52,985 with two-wheel drive.
Specifying four-wheel drive adds between $3,000 and $3,200 to the price depending on trim
level.
Add in everything you can get and you're looking at an Expedition Max Platinum 4x4 that will
stop just short of 85 grand.
My regular-length Limited 4x4 model stickered at $72,655 including destination, and that
included several popular equipment packages and leather for the first and second rows.
For comparison's sake, the new 2018 Lincoln Navigator starts around $73,000 and can top
out around $100,000.
Still, the Expedition's price is easily competitive with vehicles like the Tahoe, Suburban and
GMC Yukon.
It comes in at a bit more than the Nissan Armada, but it's a significantly larger vehicle
with a much bigger interior.
It's comparable in size to the Toyota Sequoia but has far surpassed that old, outdated model.
It's more refined, with a much nicer interior and a multimedia system that's at least two
or three generations more current.
With buyers snapping up big SUVs in increasing numbers, Ford's update to its big truck comes
at the perfect time.
That the truck is as good as it is should put Chevy on notice.
