Like the Cadillac commercial says "When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?" YES!

I can't think of anything I rather do than take my Toyota in for recalls (6) -- nm - BAD Mar 18, 21:45 4
- Haha. Does the dealership at least have the fancy coffee machine and coffees. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 21:49 3
  - coffees = cookies -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 21:49 2
    - Don't know...I always make them take me home and pick me back up...That way they have to burn up gas. - BAD Mar 18, 21:54 1
      - hehe.. you should at least stock up on the cookies. :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 21:57
thanks for using more than necessary and driving up the price of gas for everyone else -- nm - moles Mar 18, 21:42 2
- Anytime! Thanks for counterbalancing my consumption and taking the bus. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 21:47 1

I could have gotten a smaller SUV with less power, but I *need* my 6 cylinder 4 liter power-plant :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 18, 21:40 1
- Mine is a V6 too. But a sedan. I drove a small V4 SUV.. and wow.. very anti-climatic. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 21:44
*high five* I don't want a $ 3400 battery bill in 5 years - Epiphany Mar 18, 21:38 9
- if you've driven the 200,000+ miles the batteries get, you've probably used at least double that in extra fuel. -- nm - mafic Mar 18, 21:58 7
  - The question is: Does the battery actually last 200k+ miles. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 22:01 [Backboard] 6
    - even there he's likely saved money relative to your car. - mafic Mar 18, 22:08 5

        I figure my car is my one extravagance in life - and I'm gonna enjoy it, dammit :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 18, 22:35 3
        
        and I don't have a problem with that, so long as you don't ever complain about the price of gas. -- nm - mafic Mar 18, 23:06 1
        
        Never...I promise ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 18, 23:18
        
        word -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 18, 22:38
