Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | What do you mean, 'TOYOTAS ARE NOT A FUN CAR'. I have a 95 Red Toyota Celica Convertible with black top, leather seats and a 5 speed stick. I love it and so does everyone else. I constantly have people accosting me asking me if I'm willing to sell it. My foreign car mechanic is at the head of a long list of people who want to buy it. I'll grant you, it is not as fast as my 280Z or 300ZX but it IS a FUN drive and so reliable. It also has front wheel drive, handy in the Northeast. If they still make the convertible take a look at it.
Take care,
Eileen

Actually I have owned a Toyota 4Runner for the last 7 years. I live on Cape Cod so I'm looking for something to drive out onto the beach.
I'm sure you look fun and HOT in your red convertible!!! Enjoy it!

I have never understood why one wants to drive on a beach. They don't allow it in NJ except off season and only at a few streets for fisher folks. I'm amazed the allow it in Cape Cod. Your sand is too soft for that.
However, if beach driving is your thing, I can see why you are looking at Jeeps. Have they solved the flip over problem in them? I have a very dead friend who flipped hers going over the Seaside Park bridge. I was never comfortable riding in one. It always felt like it would roll over any minute you got any speed on it.
Enjoy shopping for your new wheels.
Take care,
Eileen

I don't know what he meant, but he said what he felt wasn't "discrete enough" to be of serious concern?? Has anyone heard this before?
So we wait. Wait for the cat scan and then wait for the results. In the meantime, I will do everything possible to make sure that cancer doesn't steal THESE waiting days.

Thinking about my favorite Canadian and wondering if you have heard anything yet on the scan? Trust me, for many weeks on Monday morning and Friday leaving Winnipeg I thought of you often and was just waiting for the -50 to warm enough, waiting for more time, waiting for whatever and now waiting to find a reason, time and money to come back and visit. Sorry we never got to meet in person.
