The Rav would be my choice for a learner, too.
The suspension of my 300ZX is totally trashed from the country roads, and the front airdam is so destroyed that it had fallen off a couple of times-the whole body is junk from rock hits from big trucks on job sites-I’m trading the engine and transmission to my compadre for some house pretty-up. It just does not make sense to drive a car out here-half the roads are only nominally paved, if at all...
what kind of house pretty-up? how’s your plan coming?
i had our contractor here today, going over the final plans for our kitchen re-do. He’s going to order the cabinets tomorrow, and said 2-3 weeks for them to come in, he anticipates starting in Sept and figures we will be out of a kitchen for 3-4 weeks. With xsboy back to school in a few weeks and the rest of us dieting and eating mostly salads we should not be too inconvenienced. we have a small refrigerator, sink and dishwasher in the butlers pantry downstairs, as well as a microwave. Oh and the foreman grill, which is mostly what i use to cook chicken.
Dump the 300. You need a Harley ; )
