Don't blame Toyota's decline in sales on me....

my wife and i had a baby this summer and decided that her IS 250 simply was not large enough to accomodate all of the stuff you have to carry with a little one. after some consideration and multiple test drives she fell in love with the highlander. we ordered a blizzard pearl highlander limited and it arrived at the send of september. while joking with our salesman outside the finance office he mentioned only needing one more deal to make one of the bonuses. i have been considering buying another daily driver to expedite the restoration/modification process of the SC and decided i would help a guy out. we left with a new highlander and a new corolla. pictures are below. my SC license plate was inspired by milt for those wondering.

Two very nice vehicles!

I must say, you are a very generous person to buy the Corolla to help the salesperson obtain a bonus.

Corollas are one of the best vehicles on the planet. Congrats on both amazing pick-ups! They will last you for a very long time...unless you decide to get rid of them for some reason.

Congrats on the new Highlander! More pics if you have them. Did you ever consider getting a Corolla S/XRS?
