My Tundra...and yes, I replaced the busted plate frame. Probably selling next year for a F-350 diesel. It's in perfect shape, but I want more towing power for an enclosed trailer.

Toyota trucks seem to have great resale value so naturally they tend to command quite a bit more versus the other makes. When I bought my Tacoma new, I could have got a Dodge ram with quad cab and a 5.7L for 10k less. Yes thats right, 10 thousand frickin dollars less! As bad as I wanted to save that $$ I still went with the Tacoma. I strive for longevity and keep 'em til they die. I can picture the Dodge givin up looong before the Yota does. My only gripe with the 05+ Tacoma is gas mileage...you'd think they could make a V6 that gets better than 19 highway.

Yeah, a toyota truck is an investment for hte long run. They have great resales so when u drop that cash, its nice to know you are going to get it in return. I plan on finishing grad school with this one then maybe buying a newer one.

I was. It was such a long flight. I was visiting my grandparents for the holidays. I kept my eye out for some cool Honda's, but unfortunately didn't see any. Durham is pretty small, I'm surprised I didn't see your whip. It's prolly not your daily though.

my car's been on jack stands since October but aren't that many nice Hondas in Durham that you see on the regular...i like it like that...Honda thefts and break-in's are almost non-existent here. now if you were to head to Raleigh, different story.

Yeah, I really liked Durham. It's so pretty out on the country side and all of the houses are so old. I bet it's a really good place to take pictures of the ride. Why has your car been on jack stands for so long?
