1) Toyota/4Runner/1995
2) Stock
3) Spare gas cans, emergency water tanks, coolers, etc...
4) Picture is over there <------

BTW - this is about the stupidest survay for school I have ever done. How is this even going to be used for a grade?

Oh... and I guess you have a second set of questions now:

1) Hardly ever compared to the amount of time I drive it to work.
2) Almost all of those hardly ever miles.
3) 3-4

it's easy to see how this can be used for something like a marketing research class.

4) Pictures if possible, if not it's ok too.

Mods I don't know if it's ok to put this in this forum, but is there anyway to sticky this for just a couple weeks? It's kinda important.

Thank you for your time

I'm just glad that fellow members stick up for one another in our community.

I'm sorry you were insulted by my opinion. I never thought it to be offensive, however I am still dumbfounded on how this survey can relate to a school project. Maybe a little more info on that would better my understanding, but it seems more geared for product development then anything else. And as for fellow members sticking up for other members... Try reading the sticky above yours concerning flaming. I was inquisitive, and he flamed me for it. Now you are congratulating him. If you don't want to answer me, then so be it, but I would still like to know and not go off on this "I'm offended" tangent.

No hard feelings mate, just wondering. As for the name calling (not you), that is uncalled for in any public forum.

ok here it is:

I'm a junior at Purdue University, and this is for my design class. As everybody knows, the intial stages of designing a product is to research the market. So that's what I'm doing.

And if anybody else could answer the extra questions about how many times they use their rack per month or year on and off road I'd greatly appreciate it.
