"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Gawdamnit....

I hope they pull it off as a straight trade and not thru the clunkers program.  Hate to hear of a T5 being intentionally destroyed.

Should let me have it for a week so I can rip out the engine/wiring harness/computers/ipd upgrades and swap em out with my stock 2.4L NA parts... If it goes the clunker route.  Too bad I couldn't trade ya for my N/A... damn 1yr ownership rule!
I solve my problems like an adult, at the strip club drinking on a work night.

where do you live?  I would totally do that.  it just needs to run, you can even take off the hood and trunk lids and swap out the wheels.  take the make the beast with two backsing seats out too..   

although i am taking out many of the ipd stuff and swapping back in the stock stuff.  that was $$$

Either that, or let me know what IPD stuff you have and what you want for it!  I'd be looking to pick up some IPD goodies!

I just spent 3 weeks living out of a rental Rav4 in MT.  Put 1500 miles on it with probably 1/2 of that on dirt that ran from smooth dirt to hellish washboards. 

I gotta say I was very impressed.  It won't win any clearance or 4x4 contests, but it was very composed on many surfaces ranging from sticky to downright slick.  I pushed that thing as hard as anything else I have driven in the dirt.  You could definitely feel the RWD kick-in and also the traction control kick-in, that is when I had it turned on. 

It held camping and fishing gear for two and was comfortable to drive for me (6'4").  It wasn't the quickest thing on the road, but it had no problem climbing the many pavement passes at 70mph (gotta love MT).

996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

A lot of cars that qualify as clunkers aren't going through the program.

Used vehicle prices are going up as the inventories are affected by this program. 

A lot of clean trades will live on.

lol we don't live in Panama, autozone has pads, prob more expensive for the Toyota, but the local dealer has a "first 5 year maintenance free" plan.. buy their car and you get the maintenance for free.. no oil changes or brake pads to buy..

lots of variables!
