The new ride
 

Only got one pic to show at the moment. Hasn't been nice enough to go out and take pics, so here's a quick one with the camera phone.

2008 Toyota Highlander. AWD 270hp, actually a pretty quick SUV. Surprisingly enough, this car actually weighs about the same as a GT500.

you didn't sell your car did you?

Wait, what happened? lol

haha, no I didn't sell my car. We sold my wifes civic.

Civic < Highlander....a good move.

that thing is butt ugly though...

Sorry, gotta agree.. That thing is beyond ugly.

Still...I'd take that over a civic any day.

crazy, you are... i like my civic EX coupe... cheap.. decent looking... 40mpg....

No joke, you'll sooner find me riding a tricycle around town than in a civic. I hate them with a fiery, fiery passion.

Dude, the newer Civic's look waaayyyyyy better then that thing.. And I'm right there with you, I hate Civic's.

Sorry, don't mean to bash the new car man, but that thing is oogly. lol

It's a hell of a lot better looking than those damn Honda Elements or the Pontiac Azteks.

toyota FTMFW!

To each their own. The picture doesn't really do it justice, but it is a nice SUV. The civic was a 01 and was just too small when you are trying to haul around 2 people and 2 dogs. Plus now we can go camping more and up to the snow. Gas mileage isn't bad, probably about the same as the stang, plus my wife only drives 6 miles to work. This will take the civic though. If I had full control though, we would be in a black Trailblazer SS which we were looking at before.

I say you can never go wrong with a Ford Explorer.

eh, my mom had one awhile back and never liked it. Drive like crap.

I like it! Congrats on the new buy!

Yeah I hate Honda's as well and Highlanders are ugly as hell. Should of went with a Dodge Durango.

-1 Dodges have low quality transmissions that usually start giving way around 70,000mi

I like it.

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE HIGHLANDER!

My mom has one. It does pretty well, especially considering the fact that it has a V6. I think a lot of people have the wrong idea about SUV's. I've known a lot of people that complain about the ride quality in certain SUV's, and I can't help but laugh at them. If you want decent ride quality, buy a car. On that note, it pisses me off that they softened the ride on a lot of them. That's not the point of an SUV. Don't even get me started on 100lb soccer moms that think they need a 3 ton panzer to go shopping..

Dodge Durangos are shit. We wanted something that will actually last awhile.

thats what i drove when we went to heavenly in tahoe to snowboard

The Aztecs are the ugliest things ever made! Lol.

Congrats on the Highlander, btw!

My GF had a 2000 durango with a 4.7L v8.. she used to make fun of me for having a smaller engine, albeit with much more power lol. Anyway, the damn thing was the biggest piece of shit ever. The radiator went twice, and the tranny was already acting really funny at 60k miles. Anyway, long story short, some asshole rearended the shit out of her and the car was totalled.

Now she has a black 2007 V6 mustang, which is awesome

I honestly like RAV4s better than Highlanders. And they get pretty decent gas mileage.
