Thanks, Tom! My absolute heart-throb of a vehicle is the Xterra! My
absolute had-to-have-'cause-I-could-aford was my Toyota Tacoma, spiffed up
with the SR5 package and all the good stuff: bed liner, etc. However, my
parents are getting to the point where I had to confront transporting them
someday and my mom had an awful time getting up into my pickup truck. And,
for the four of us--mom, dad, hubby, me--to go anywhere in one vehicle was
not even in the picture.

Now, they--the parents--had gone out and bought a T&C van...but I just don't
relish those types of vehicles. Maybe once I tried them (vans) it would be
OK...but they just don't look like something I want to be driving as even I
get older. I am a turn-my-head-all-the-way-around-to-look-over-my-shoulder
driver, and I sure would have to have a owl's capability to see as far back
as I'd like to with a van...LOL

Gotta dash...no pun intended (referring to the multitude of dashes in my
post: sorry)...

Hey, by the way, my sis is up in Allentown. You around there anywhere? She
just moved back up north a couple of years ago after having been in Texas
for a little over 20 years. She LOVED the winter this year, as would I. We
are all originally from up above Albany, NY--so long, hard, deep Winters
still remind us of what a great challenge it was to get from one season to
the next!

.Sounds strange, but it
actually looks pretty good, and the radio can come out and be put back
in in seconds.
