    You are an admiral young man, Derek.


    Those are some nice looking 4Runners, too. The 3.0 v6 isn't powerful or efficient, but with the proper care and maintenance, they can be just as reliable as other Toyota engines.

    Dereck, this is a very nice thing you are thinking of doing. Your parents obviously did a fine job raising you and should be proud. Even if they don't take you up on this offer, you will make them very happy just for bringing it up. I'm sure your parents know how much the truck means to you. Good luck to you and your family.

    My dad almost bought a Nissan today, but backed out to consider my proposal.



    We'll decide tomorrow for sure. :)

    Your a good man, and hope the best for you guys. Me and my mom both work for the state so I know where your coming from man. I luckily havent gotten hit, thank god, but she is down I think 15% and possibly another 5. Keep your head up man, things will turn around, you will have good things coming your way.

    Ay just a heads up, I know I'm a few years older than you but when you do pick up the new truck be prepared to pay some high insurance rates! Insurance companies frown upon us young-guns with shiny new vehicles! Even for those who like us worked hard to make the payments! :cool:
