    I'm actually relatively intelligent. Mature enough to have an adult conversation without resorting to 'internet tough guy', too. But hey, this is apparently your world... I'm just visiting. Good day, junior.

    Is it better to be relatively intelligent or relatively good looking? I only ask because I am neither...

    At this point in life, I'm going with intelligent. Been with the same woman since I was 18. If I'm trying to attract another one I'd have to get divorced and at that point I'd be living in a cardboard box under an overpass... even if I was handsome as fuck, no woman would want a handsome broke dude.

    Good point. I wouldn't say NO woman, but certainly not one worth a shit. Now, if your cardboard box was one of those sweet fridge boxes with a door and window cut in it you just might attract a higher class of female.

    EDIT
    Sorry OP. Yes, totally a good idea to buy a tacoma from a nissan dealership.

    I just bough mine in Oct. from a Nissan dealer and got the Quality Guard Plus extended warranty, Nissan Corps' own policy. It was about $2400+ some change.

    My truck was from Canadia eh, a bit of surface rust underneath, not bad especially in relation to how clean and new the rest is, but at only 28K not CPO eligible?, so I bought the warranty to be safe, knowing I could get a pro-rated refund when I was sure all was good after a while.

    Well>...Front calipers were rusting pretty badly and was causing excessive clicking/slapping when tappin the breaks. There was a rock lodged between my frame and cab-right under my feet that I could feel shift when the suspension compressed. The Nissan dealer said " ah ya.. all good" after multiple complaints. So, I go to the Toyota Dealer, who finds both problems during the oil change. After waiting weeks, for a combo of Xmas/New Year and either Nissan(warranty), or Toyota (to either approve it, or submit it correctly) my calipers were replaced for my $100 deductable, and $75 for the pads- covering about $1200 in work.-yah

    I read up briefly on Quality Guard (Nissan's) and all I find on all of the intranet is either promo, or business complaints on biz consumer alliance, but who really cares to go leave good reviews on a warranty plan right? I was debating on canceling, and buying a Toyota Plan of equal caliber, or not either, but of which they told me in Toyota sales that they could do while still under 40K. Either way, the extended warranty has already covered almost half of my investment in, so I will likely keep it.

    Just like any other extended warranty, they are 3rd Party businesses, trying to maximize profits, and fighting you on your expensive repair because they can, and thats what they will do. I would recommend based on my experience so far you try to purchase a Toyota plan if possible, but in the end its all a crapshoot, and basically gambling.

    You never appeared intelligent to me. You were the only one that actualy tried to drag me under the bus because you thought I was serious about the pics. Like I said it was a joke and it went right over your head. Your not as smart as you think.

    Hey Guys - Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and bought the truck. Truth be told, it felt a little weird buying a Tacoma from a Nissan dealership but that's probably just me. Below are some pictures during its maiden voyage through Zion.
