The Emperor’s Ride - Jake's '91 Century Maybe it's the last remnant of Puritanism, or maybe it's some happier rejection of classism, but whatever the reason, aside from the occasional party limo, Americans haven't ever really embraced being driven. We've always preferred to drive, even as that may be changing in the age of Uber, Lyft, and self-driving cars. Even when we buy Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, they're rarely chauffeured. But elsewhere in the world, many of those who have arrived choose to get around in the back seat. The Toyota Century is a Japan-only flagship built for precisely that: chauffeuring businesspeople, diplomats, and even the Imperial family in the height of Japanese luxury. Despite being from 1991, this example of the Toyota Century is, as they all were, loaded to the gills with convenience tech, all of which could be controlled from the driver's or executive seats. Electronically adjustable suspension? Check. Ride-height control? Yep, that too. There's even a choice between "NORM" and "PWR" modes for the drivetrain. Also, despite being from 1991 and having never undergone an extensive restoration, every single function and feature remains operational in this example. There's even a passenger-side passthrough in the front seatback to allow the rear-seat passenger to recline fully with feet supported, and curtains can cover every inch of rear glass. Once you've adjusted the mirrors and familiarized yourself with the controls, it's time to don your driver's cap and gloves. Turn the key, listen closely as the buttery-smooth 4.0-liter V-8 wakes its 190 horses. Slip the four-speed automatic into drive, check your fender-mounted mirrors, and you're off. ✅ Subscribe to Our Channel for More Cars, Tips & Resources: https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoGuysandaRide/ ✅ Stay Connected 👉 Twitter: https://twitter.com/GuysRide 👉 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twoguysandaride/ 👉 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twoguysandaride ============================= ✅ SEE all of our HOW TO videos here: CarTechHowTo.com - http://bit.ly/2ZvDrbE ✅ Our Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoGuysandaRide/playlists ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 🚘 1951 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet - https://youtu.be/b_2DiBbHtDg 🚘 POLESTAR 2 - You WILL Buy This Car! - https://youtu.be/SpONzft5iLM 🚘 DODGE Sierra Wagon with Rear-Facing Third-Row “Spectator” Seats - https://youtu.be/-4Zd83xdx2I 🚘 2022 Bennington Tritoon 23RCW - https://youtu.be/S08erqgB9dk ================================= Special Thanks to: ================================= ✅ About Two Guys and a Ride: Two Guys and a Ride’s channel is dedicated to all things automotive.
