I HAVE A NEW CAR!

Post by Kelly Antilles »

Ok, it's new to me.

1998 Rav4 L 4WD. Green. Has just over 40,000 miles on it.

I actually got my Valentine's present... the one I wanted. :)

Nice car. If you ever need a long distance lift, I think I can arrange something using one of my rides.

Nice vehicle. Good cargo room and it still has decent gas mileage. You're one lucky lady, Miss Antilles :D.

On a RAV4? That's actually a rather amusing thought. :lol: But seriously, it's a great little vehicle, useful for errands and hauling stuff. And it's also economical (definitely a big plus nowadays.) Good choice.

Woohoo, babe, that's awesome! And a fabulous colour as well! You need to go out and get one of those "new car" scented air fresheners for it!! :D

Gotta run over to Hot Topic and grab the Autobot Floor mats and steering wheel cover.

Cool! Congrats, and have you "broken it in" yet? Ahem, I mean, since it is a Velentine's Day present, it should be a Steel Lovemobile before too long....
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."

In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Cool, I happen to really like the looks of the RAV4. Trade you a 92 jimmy for the RAV. :D

Nice car, congratulation!

My sister had one of the old type and now has the new.

Good one for the city, never go to the terrain with it. :wink:

Thanks guys. :) It drives so good. Unfortunately, they cleaned the entire inside too well. It reeks now. Ugh. So, I just pop the sunroof and let it air out. :)

Yep, that's why we got a Toyota. We traded in our '89 Celica that had 147,000 on it. My sister had a Previa, '91 I think, with 235,000 on it before she sold it. Needed shocks which were more expnsive than the car is worth.

That must be a nice car...

I wish my mom could get a car like that, instead of the minivan she drives. It's the exact same kind as her old one, except that it's tan, and it has leather seats that give off a noxious odor.
