I always make front passengers wear their belt or I don't start driving. It's the driver's responsibility to make sure front seat passengers wear the belt. Had a friend who was driving in NJ where there's a front passenger belt law. He didn't make the passenger wear it. They hit a parked...

Why not pack the truck and ship the rest? Sounds like a much cheaper way to go. You won't end up with a trailer you probably won't use that much and will have to find space for. Oh, and welcome to FL. Fat Daddy

I'm on my 4th 4Runner now and have never bought one without the sunroof. It really does add to the pleasure of driving. Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but with the sunroof open I get more air through the vehicle which cuts down on the sulfur smell when it happens. I'm 6'4" and just...

I have a 350Z currently and really like it. btw, I've owned 3 Rx-7s (last one 93 R1), 2 Z's, a Porsche 944 S2 and Porsche 928 S4. The Z is in between the 944 and 928 as far as performance. The engine provides the right amount of power for me at my age (42) and the car sounds awesome. btw...

Here's me and the wife after a long day fishing. I'm the one with the WTF? shirt on. Fat Daddy

Thanks all. I'm going to talk to the GM in person this weekend. I do expect them to do the right thing. While we did put a deposit on the vehicle on 7/30 the dealership didn't get it until 8/02 and we picked it up on 8/03 so I think we fall into the $2k window. Fat Daddy

Hi all, Recently purchased a Galactic Gray 2005 SE V8 2WD. This is my fourth 4-Runner and I've previously had a 92, 94 and 96. So far the truck is awesome and much more than I expected. It's really quite different than my previous ones. Very pleased. My wife is 5 months pregnant now and...
