    Since I am posting pics, this was my old 2004 Tacoma, it is my sons now. Has almost 200k on it, and still runs like new. And my last 4Runner that’s been gone a long while now...

    That was what pulled me into a Toyota, it could be a friend for generations!
    In my case I’m not sure, our older one is 14 and I can’t see me give him my 4runner in the next 10 years, the little is 5 and that little trouble maker scare me even more!

    I know what you mean.
    Well, my son is 25 now, and he had a older Tahoe that was giving him a lot of trouble. So, when I told him I was gonna trade it, and get something new, he said he wanted it. It still looks as good as it did in that picture. He keeps it maintained, and clean.

    Well, that’s sounds more like I would do the same. I just can’t see me doing something like that before they learn that money ain’t growing in a atm machine and thanks to my wife that won’t happen soon.
