I got a 2003 Toyota 4 Runner SR5. I’ve owned for 12 years. Literally nothing has gone wrong with it. I’ve gotten regular maintenance and everything as I was always raised to do. Timing belt at 120k.

not sure I’ll ever own anything other than Toyota after having lemons before I got a Toyota

This is the exact car. Color and everything. V8. Baby is a beast. I’ll pass it down to the step kids when I buy a newer Tundra in a couple years.

Great car. My mechanic buddy has a Sequoia with 250k on it. He finally replaced shocks and bushings and stuff like that and it drives better than a 60k Explorer or such.

My wife's 2005 Camry, which we just traded in on our new Volvo, had only one major repair, had to replace a water pump. We got it at Beaverton Toyota for a song and it came with free lifetime oil changes. Best repair department in the USA. Got a free car wash every time we visited. We could get a free car wash by just showing up and asking for one. Sometimes they gave us more than one. One time they gave us three washes just because I asked if they really needed to resurface the rotors when they changed the break pads. They explained it to my satisfaction and then gave us three car washes. If I had to grade Beaverton Toyota's service I'd have to give it an 'A+'.
Kind of miss the Camry but it did have 107,000 miles on it and didn't have any of the new features. I'm hoping I dodged a major repair right around the corner.
I forgot to add that all of our service was done there and they keep the complete service history,

The person that ends up with your old car is getting a gem. Perfect car for someone who needs a reliable somewhat inexpensive car.

107,000 miles? Heck that thing isn't even broken in yet, lol. Been using my daughters 98 Honda Accord and it's at almost 200k and still purring along.

In '98, I purchased a '92 Accord DX for $5k with about 140k miles on it. I babied that car and ended up selling it in '05 for $1,500. It had 420k miles on it. An absolutely amazing vehicle! 13 years and 380k miles worth of driving for $3,500!

My plan is screwed short term but I think I we will still be ok.

I think I mentioned that my wife inherited two homes in Portland years ago. We decided to sell them at the end of last year and they both sold fast. Her boss is a retired Chase bank executive and he helped her put the money somewhere safe. Some kind of bonds, I don't pay any attention to it because it makes my brain hurt.

Anyway, the plan was to wait until next spring and sell our house in Henderson and move to Lake Havasu city and slow the fuck down in the rat race.

At the listed prices of today's market you can get a decent place with a pool and huge garage space for 3-500.

Plan was to sell this house. Take that 150 we would have got after what we owe and use a little of her inheritance money and buy something smaller in Havasu and work part time until we retire.

If the idiots running the world keep us locked down for months I may be able to swing something in Lake Tahoe and my wife can cut hair and I can fix stuff part time.

Her money may be worthless soon so we'll see.

Buy several large caliber guns now while your money has value because if you have anything, you know, food, alcohol, other drink, toilet paper, there are people who just might come to your door demanding your supplies.
Boy Scouts are prepared.

Didn't tell my gun story. Truth is that my buddy has an arsenal but the wife decided she wanted a shotgun for the house. I don't want the shotgun in the house myself by the way.
Anyway, happy wife happy life so I let her go to Wal-Mart a few weekends ago and she filled out the paperwork.

She comes home and says she ordered a moose burger. I said they don't even have beef and you had to order moose?

She says that's the shotgun she applied to buy.

I said "you mean a Mossberg?"

She says "Yeah, That one!"

Good times we're living in.

Ha ha ha ha, that sounds like my wife.
I own a shotgun that I've had for almost 50 years. Don't even know if we still have the shells.
