Amanda has the pilot, and we have the little 2wd 88 pickup. My parents gave it to me for free, but I spent a bunch of money on it getting it back into good running condition. It's only got 130k original!

If im going with another car, its going to be a Datsun 510 with an SR20DET swap. That thing would fly if you put wings on it. Really nice power to weight ratio.

It's nice to have a comfortable car to zoom around in. Amanda's pilot is nice. The monthly payment sucks, though

She got the pilot when she got a new good paying job, 6 months later she hated her boss and bailed, then got into nursing school. The car payment has sucked in between tuition payments. I think she wants the new 4runner. Gotta wait a couple years, Maybe they will have a manual by then.

Is the second smiley cropdusting?

And we have driven the pilot to whistler and to Boise. It has done well on both trips. I have been fairly happy with it.

Sounds like a nice ride! I've seen the new 4Runners, I like them but I'm gonna wait too. I doubt they'll put a stick in them. I LOVE the auto in my '06, but it is a five speed sport shifter too.


Oh I fixed it the smilies so you can see them better...

It's nice, we bought it through the costco deal. Although she likes the look of the off white sr5 5th gen. She said she would like that one with limo tint ...... Boy we don't ask for much, do we??

She is form. Remember she said I could build my own "trail edition" after some bills are paid. She wants to have blacked out rims, it would never go offroad I bet. No point getting the trail edition then.

I am planning to leave Tacoma between 0815 and 0820. Should get me to getchell around 0945 with smooth traffic.
