    It drives and rides really nicely, very well made, very stylish, lots of bells and whistles, has a good sized cargo area with an electric liftgate, you can fold-flat the back seats with just pulling on a strap on each side from the cargo area and the seats are spring loaded and fold flat without any effort if you need more space.

    Im sure there are other grocery getters just as useful, I just really liked it. Her name was Keiko...

    It was primarily my wifes daily driver but it was good on road trips. She got the Accord when we traded the RX-350 for the Tacoma

    The one thing I do not like about the RX, at least the ones built before features like Bluetooth and backup cameras caught on, is that it is virtually impossible to install an aftermarket stereo; This why my grandma sold her 2002 RX300 with less than 90K miles in 2019!

    Chandelier was installed in 1996 when they bought the house; Medallion was installed in 2003, and he put a date on the medallion this time to commemorate the reinstall...

    My truck was a gift from my parents when I was still in college, purchased right after I finally got my learner’s permit; It has had the same plate, which the dealer issued, for more than 11 years.

    After so many years, the paint is starting to peel, and I’ve decided I want to get a new plate; I’ve narrowed it down to two choices...

    Either the beautiful Pennsylvania “Railroad” plate, or a vanity plate with a personalized message (which would just look like a normal Pennsylvania plate); I’ve already decided what my personalized plate will say if that’s the route I go, but I will not be posting it publicly since (A) I don’t want my potential future license plate number shown publicly, and (B) I don’t want someone stealing my idea!


    Railroad:

    Normal PA plate (Essentially what my truck has now, but with a personalized message):

    I would agree; Honestly, my favorite license plate EVER was the old Oklahoma with the Native American archer, but they stopped issuing those a few years ago...

    Also, while I’ve been to Oklahoma City before and loved it, there are currently no benefits to me moving there!

    Also, the biggest difference between my truck’s current plate and any vanity plate is that it says “TRUCK” at the bottom; In PA, all pickup trucks and cargo vans are issued “TRUCK” plates of the owner doesn’t get a personalized plate (passenger vans get regular plates).

    The biggest difference between the plate on my truck now and plates being issued today is that PA went paperless a few years ago and the little indent for the registration sticker has been done away with.

    I don’t know if the RR plates can be personalized... :(

    I like stamped plates more than printed ones, so RR wins for me with the embossed state name.

    @PennSilverTaco You showed the inside of your truck the other day after you shopped for Puck. I did a quick run to a couple stores this evening, as you can see it fills up pretty quickly.

    Actually, all Pennsylvania plates are still embossed/stamped; The Commonwealth has not gone the route of 3M Digital Flatplate technology yet, thankfully...
