Met up with my buddy in Cleveland, TN. I watched him work on a Lexus SUV then we grabbed some lunch at Zaxby's. He started the business about 6mths ago:

The rental and the beast:

The Tundra is an awesome truck. Rides like a dream, no squeaks or rattles, and good power. The instrument panel and controls are nicely placed and very appealing at night. When I got back in my 2006 Accord LX I felt like I was getting back in the hatch from the Accord (when the hatch was running last year). The steering, power, and comfort is 10X better in the Tundra. If the gas mileage was not so bad I would have to consider this vehicle.

Enough of this before I end up selling the Accord.
