    I'm really happy to not live a block from work. I do not want to think about the hours I would get strange calls about different equipment not working.

    As for the OP - that same type of situation happened to a buddy of mine. He took his FJ in for an oil change and drove home with a new 4Runner. He said they gave him the same value for the FJ as when he bought it three years earlier and his payments were lower. Said it was a deal to good to pass up.

    Awww that's a cool story!! :)

    That's sort of how I ended up with mine. We went Toyota just to see what it has to offer compared to the Chevy Colorado. We never made it to the Chevy dealership.

    I didn't even think we were going to get a truck that day. But I was told that if I like it, then this would be my Mother's Day gift. :eek:
