I'll start my wife's Isuzu Ascender (2wd but goes right thru the cr@p we've had this week.

I drive the Tacoma when the weather is bad. It has about 300lbs. of bagged rock in the bed. Most definately helps with the rear traction.

Toyota's are fantastic vehicles. You simply just cannot beat the reliability and quality.

When they introduced the Tundra back in 2000, my dad went and purchased it. He was so satisfied that he sold it and bought another Tundra in 04. Now he's thinking about selling the 2004, and getting the 2009 Tundra. I love Toyota trucks, they will go through anything.

It's almost like the " Dukes of Hazzards " theme with the old barn in the background.

All you need to do is paint a Confederate Flag on the hood and your rare'n' to go.

But I like anyways....I'm sure it sounds great too !

1995 Geo Prism is my DD. Bought it for $2k last year. 120k miles, 5sp manual, 1.6l I-4 (rebuilt by me last fall), runs like a champ, gets a touch over 30mpg commuting / mixed driving.

Commuting in the Z was costing me over $100/week, plus the rock chips were killing me, so the Z became a toy. I like toys.
