Sometimes being smart isn't so much fun

My 2014 Tacoma, which I bought new, is the best vehicle I have ever owned.

I know Dave Ramsey says to buy used, but not only are the prices verging on insane, so are the miles driven. How many used vehicles have fewer than 24,000 miles, like mine? At least Dave lives in Tennessee, where the vehicles are exposed to a lot less road salt than in northeast Ohio.

I shopped the internet and found a car 3 years old with 12000 miles on it. I only drive about 4000 miles a year, so at my age it will probably last until they carry me out feet first. My grandson might like it if that happens sooner rather than later.

But the smart thing to do is to keep driving my 04 Rav4 with 187,000k miles on it.

Oh well..

I am running my 5HP 22" S/P RB mover since 1996. It was made in US at that time. Important!
I resist any attempt of my wife to replace it.
Although it produces some smoke , it still works good.
