Great weather, cheap rental, smooth transaction. Couldn't of asked for more.....

....well, I was reminded of one of the reasons I do not like Atlanta:



Some entertainment



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:



At the salvage yard.

LS:



127k and clean:



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.

The donor:







I really like this shift knob. If I decide to go with it, I will purchase a new one from Acura:



Heading back:



Tennessee is really a beautiful place:



More entertainment for the ride home:



Here we go again (1615 hours):



Saw this teg as I made my way down I-75:



Thanks for looking

[puregroove]

nice, man...good entertainment, too. That muffler kills that teg...great stock color, though.
