    This is a typical residential street in Doylestown Borough...

    Aside from my truck, the two SUVs, the Element, and the Jeep, do any of the vehicles parked on this street really stand out to you in terms of styling?

    The blue Hyundia Elantra doesn't look much different than the blue Mercedes C300, and the rest all look like bulbous blobs...

    I can correctly identify every vehicle in these pictures, but car styling has become so boring in the last few years that I find myself mistaking a Honda Accord for a BMW! One night I mistook a Rolls-Royce Ghost for a Chrysler 300C!

    I'm in the process of trading my rear black bumper for a nice chrome bumper from a nice gentleman in Florida.

    Is your Taco an SR5 or a base model?

    2016 Honda Accord Sport or Touring was the best IMO. They literally butchered the design.

    SR5. When my truck was rebuilt, the idiots installed a TRD Sport painted bumper instead of a chrome.

    It would cost $200 to ship.

    What's the radio in your truck look like? Did you disassemble it?

    My Tacoma cost about $15K new after trade and negotiation, and I could still $10K for it today, almost 9 years later and more than 84,000 miles later. I have probably $600 in the sound system, including the backup camera.

    A guy I know just bought a brand new Audi RS8 at a cost of about $225K! This particular iteration of the R8 comes standard with a supposedly top-of-the-line Bang & Olufsen sound system. My buddy hadn't heard my stereo since before I put the subwoofer, amplifier, and JBL speakers in. He thought it was better than the factory Bose system in his Audi Q7 when I just had the basic Pioneer single-DIN unit and Pioneer component speakers...

    Tonight, he informed me after hearing my new-and-improved system that it sounds better and goes louder than the system in his new RS8!

    In your area, you could buy a very nice house and a brand new Tacoma with money to spare for what this car costs!

    I think Chrysler purposely styled those 300s like that! I make that mistake all the time.
