    Well I have a 2010 4runner sr5 and have decided when I decide to go postal I can just blame it on toyotas sticky fuel petals haha! It did win a bunch of awards though I hear.

    Seriously?

    That's cool.

    It's one of those cars....


    2 slow, I like the sleeper cobra. Nice surprises I'm sure happen from time to time:)

    As to my car, my jeep. it's been paid for a LONG time ago, always starts (and it's even a jeep, how the heck did that happen?), owes me nothing and goes anywhere I want it to. Yeah it is not fuel efficient, and it even surprised me that it 's AC still works. Apparently that leak sealer r134A works pretty well. I recharged it with that leak sealer 2-3 years ago.

    It has also saved me a ton on car payments, in that I have had no car payments for years.

    The lack of payments allows me to have my reef addiction.

    I also like that it sounds like a diesel at idle,a nd people ask me if Jeep made a diesel Grand Cherokee in those years. they didn't.

    It's been making that valve diesel like noise with no real harm for like 100,000 miles.

    Good truck. I have a 04 v8 4th gen myself.

    Fwiw, Yota has never included the 4runner on any of those recalls. The 4runner is made in japan, and don't have the crappy american made throttle pedal assembly that is the culprit.

    It's reliable, and gets very good MPG (typically getting 30+). 2009 Civic FTW.

    Oh, and it has interior ground lighting. Gotta love that when trying to find something in the dark.

    05 GMC sierra crew cab. Its fully loaded and rides very smooth for a truck. I like my big comfortable seats.

    BMW 330. My favorite thing is how fast it accelerates ;D . I also like that the door handles light up at night and that I can warm up the car on cold days without having to use keys so no one can steal it from my driveway!

    Mazda Cx-9 Grand Touring. My favorite thing about my Mazda is that it's fully loaded, and the navigation and Bose stereo system are fun to play with. Oh, and I feel really tall in it!

    My truly favorite thing about both my cars is that I bought them myself last year! And that made me feel very grown up :)
