    Glad I don’t have that issue,although I don’t see myself coughing up a nest egg for a pickup truck.
    My wife and I have our own auto insurance policies even though we’re on each other’s-my rate is actually cheaper than hers($271 a month for 2 vehicles vs. $369 for her one 1 vehicle).

    Not if you add it up over 40 years. I mean, I'm still hearing about things I did wrong 40 years ago, so why can't I remember all the little things she bought the last 40 years? :D

    Fortunately the wife and I don’t have much issue. She does drop some money on things I think are a waste but when you look at the things I buy it’s pennies by comparison. Heck my last tractor/loader/ backhoe alone is probably more than she spent on hair, makeup and shoes since the day we met.

    That's a smokin' deal for a Toyota that will run pretty much until our Lord returns. Some domestic pickups cost more than I paid for my first house and they'll die inside of five years.

    Lest we forget that Toyota dealers will mark them up even further to get more money out of customers!
    It may sticker at $47K, but you may be paying $50K-maybe even more!;)
    You know Toyota isn’t going to sell them at MSRP-Manufacturers Suggested Raping Price!!
