    Happy to be of service. You got me thinking though. Maybe I should open up a weight loss clinic. My slogan could be "lose your ass from laughter"

    First of all, haven't you heard of flicking it out the window?
    Secondly, boogers are many different colors, it would be hard to find a "universal booger color"

    how on Gods green earth are your payments so high? My truck was slightly more expensive than yours and my payments are only $424 a month

    Well anytime you drive a car you should look out for deer, women and children crossing the street. And also look out for turtles, you don't wanna run any of those over.

    Irritating part is this is my second vehicle through Toyota Financial, and they double my rate for being a repeat customer.

    Ditto. My 2.7L was only costing me $389/month through TFS. My 4.0L is costing me ~$589 through TFS. My interest rate is about the same. Problem is I took a hit on my 2.7L... Guess I should have listened to my wife in the first place (who said to get the truck I have now in the first place). :rolleyes:

    I actually found the Toyota and Mazda salesmen to be some of the better ones. No pressure, told me what they have in stock, and what they have coming in, and really encouraged me to take my time while looking at other trucks. The Ford guys on the other hand wanted me to make a decision right then and there.
