New Toy in the Garage
« on: January 08, 2008, 11:12:02 AM »
I finally parted ways with my '93 Toyota pickup, (it's in Arlington now):



14 years of ownership, 162K miles, sweet little vehicle, and only cost me $9,400 in depreciation over that time.

Replacing 'er with this today, (pre-owned, but with less than 800 miles on the ticker):



Good color to sit next to the 'vette, and haul the Dalmatians, eh? I hope it runs as well as what it replaced, but it's a Toyota, so no reason to worry.  O0 ;)

You're absolutely right about that, as that pillar is quite large. I don't recall if this one has the backup sensor, but if not, it will have some convex mirrors added to the regulars.  O0

No, you're confused. I have my head up my Cranberries, not eyes in the back of my head. Common mistake, people make it often...  ;D ;D ;)
