[TampaTundra]

When I was around 13-14, a long 6-7 years ago, we bought a lake house in north GA. We lived in Atlanta at the time and had a boat that we had owned,still do, that we kept on Lake Lanier for 2 years while we got used to owning a boat and the whole lake thing. My dad had always had sport/luxury cars, Audi a6, bmw 5's, and so on. Ha when my parents picked me up from the adoption agency the day after I was born my parents drove me home in a 88' red bmw M6. We realized that after we bought the house that a sedan, even a large one was not practical for us. My dad and I test drove every large suv on the market and kept coming back to the Toyota Seqouia. We had that any never had a glimmer of issues. It was my dad's car, then after a year my mom got a lexus Rx330. Then we moved to tampa, lept the lake house and traded the seqouia in for a lexus gx 470. First year after the move I turned 16 and got my first car, 2005 toyota 4runner. Then the lease just came up several months ago and haveing a truck over an suv seemed to fit my lifestyle and needs better. And now the lease on my moms car is coming up, she test drove the new Sequoia and said it was way too big for her, the highlander is too small and she does not really like any of the lexus models.So she may just keep the one she has now or maybe branch out a little and get a VW toureg 2.


And through all of these cars have we ever had any issues even of the smallest nature. Only thing that ever has gone wrong was once when I took my 4runner in to be serviced at the Toyota dealership they did the regular 25k or something near there mile service. I pick it up a little later and on the drive home it seems like the engine is severly down on power and bogging down at time, even under full throttle it was very slow. I get home and tell my parents, they say the usual "its the dealership I dont think they would have messed it up". In short my dad drove it around the block and agreed, we take it back in and they drain the oil, I told them I suspected the put too much oil in. Come to find out they put around 2 times the amount needed. They freaked and took care of it all, got free service on the 4runnner there for the remainder of the lease.

O almost forgot, my moms first car when she was still in college was a toyota carolla.God knows what year that was.
