LOL yeah a lot of people that know me, including my mailman, would laugh at me when driving it. I kind of liked it because it was so small that I could park it anywhere for running around town. Not a car to be driven on a trip or big highways but I managed.
here is a pic, it was a special edition one and you will laugh too.
hey at the dealer i worked at years ago someone traded in one of those, in manual! on my way to move it into the lot there may have been a slight detour taken through the roads behind the dealer, and that lightweight little hatch was a blast lol
i think the equation goes something like: Fun = high revs * manual^2
I like it a lot. The one I looked at was a Calligraphy in that dark green color that is unique to that trim, very nice. I prefer the dash and console of the Telluride but I think everything else about the Palisade
yes, like 99% of suv owners, i will only go 'off road' onto the shoulder of a highway or some field that's being used for parking at an event.
only a couple million in cars. you go you.
why a 2009 year ls600h?
your sig says best car you've owned. how long did you have it, and why did you sell it? i've been curious about those.
Only reason I have real SUVs is because I do actually use the ability and plus it's in my mind needed to have at least one car that can do it. My "new" VW is fantastic in that regard because it's ability is nearly off the charts and it's still a small SUV by modern standards, it's only the size of modern rav 4
Yeah it's gonna be a pricy garage but I think it can be done lol!
I want an 09 since it's the newest one with the original look, I do not like the refreshes since the design language was ruined/incoherent. I don't like the tacked on front ends of the later cars that don't flow into all the forms of the doors and rear like the original.

The xD (lol xDDDD ) is pretty much an EU-spec yaris t-sport with a US-specific body. Pretty decent "warm" hatch.

Mine wasn’t a stick but it did come with a Scion 10 Series hardback book and a serialized plaque on the dash!

See I said people would laugh. Funny thing was I still treated it well like any other car I had.
As you know from some of our past conversations, even though I've never bought a car myself from them, after shopped with a number of friends/colleagues (one of them the President of our Federal Employee Union, others from my church, etc....), I've always had a high opinion of the Fitz Way. In general, it fits the advertising. (No pun intended). Had a chance to meet the Old Man once or twice....from what I understand, he is still working at age 87. Everyone I know who bought a new vehicle from them has been pleased. I'll admit, though, that, even at Fitz, the last couple of years have not exactly been a Buyer's Market LOL.
If the car wants to work hard and not allowed to, beating on the throttle may be treating it well. Lol
See how I can justify. 🤠
I washed it often like I would any of my other cars, polished it, vacuumed it, etc. I always take pride in my cars even when it’s a cheap little car like this.
I liked the color of the car and the dark matte wheels.

I know this guy who also had a tiny car for daily drive. I think you two have the same profession too. That's right. Treat all your children the same way, right? I find it interesting that you have all these time to do these but find it costly to get gas at Costco. I guess because you can enjoy this task but not the other one? I've got tired cleaning the SUVs myself and often just drive through these days because this one near my house actually does a good job. Once in a while I would take the pressure washer out and waste a few hours there.

Nothing wrong with Fitzgerald you just don’t get a very good deal. You can always do better. If they are at MSRP I can get a discount somewhere else.
I’ve met the old man too. He is a mean and ruthless businessman lol
