I just had my car broken into for the first time in my life. Didn't take shtein other than some old keys, receipts, and my Realtor key that I had in my car. That pissed me off more than anything.

If I find that farg, I'm going to not call the cops, tie him up, throw him in the trunk, and take a trip to the mountains.

one of my favorite sites

gorgeous photography and films, centered on design, especially in motorcycles, cars, solo sports like surfing and skating, and houses/buildings. also, a fair amount of beautiful naked women from time to time

Been looking to trade my Tundra in on an SUV. Loved my 4Runner and after driving the truck for 2 years, I'm just not a truck guy. At the same time, I like the cabin space in the Tundra so instead of going back to a 4Runner, I decided to go with a Sequoia. Found one that had everything I was looking for but it was 2.5 hrs away. I made the drive anyway hoping that it looked as good in person as the pics online did. Wasn't disappointed in the least. Who ever owned this thing before babied it.

It's a 2002 but only 48k miles. Limited, fully loaded, 4WD, heated seats, removable 3rd row seats....the works. And it has a tape deck! Friggin Sweet!

17k. Got decent trade value on my truck so it was basically just an even swap.

My truck had the same engine and got the same mpg, so I don't think I'll feel the pinch more than I would if I were driving a more fuel efficient vehicle before the trade.

I traded in the Navagator for a Kia Soul a few months ago. ha ha farg you i don't care what you think and farg you gas stations every time i pass you. What I save in gas makes the car payment.

Diomedes · February 20, 2012, 08:18:56 PM

I'm currently obsessed with seeing how much mpg I can get out of this new truck. I'm managing an average of about 21.3 mpg so far. When the ethanol gas goes away in the spring, that number will jump. We'll see. I wonder if it will be possible to run the sticker-advertised 23 mph hghw as an average overall.

Yes, that's me going 58mph in the right hand lane and allowing for generous following distances. Yes, I heard your cursing. And when I got off at my exit 15 minutes later, I saw you three cars ahead of me at the red light.

I got a new Terrain a few months back, mainly for the gas mileage, as well. They market it as 32mpg on the highway - which is the only driving I do. While it doesn't get nearly 32, it gets me far better mileage than the little car I traded in for it..

I find myself driving a bit slower too because of it. Not Dio slow, but I don't look down and see I'm unknowingly driving 85 anymore as much as I had in the past.

Navigator to a Kia Soul might be the biggest downgrades in the history of downgrades.
