Hello Shay,

Congrats on you paying off the truck thats an awesome feeling to have. I love my 4×4 and although for the better part of it i dont really need such a big vechicle in England when i do make my trips, it makes it worth it. If i dont need it for my snowboarding trips, it works a dream for the summer months for mountain biking, skateboarding road trips and the occasional wakeboarding…Time to start spoiling her with some customisation…hah

Betsy did me good today on the mountain, the high clearance went through a deep puddle on the way to riding and did great, no worries and man…glad I wasn’t the vehicle that got stuck like the pathfinder that came up after!

Well I’m sure betsy will last you a while, Toyota trucks are indestructible. But don’t just take my word for it.

Good luck Pam! I remember when I signed the agreement thinking what the hell am I doing, 5 years! But it goes by quick and I used to see 50 payments left, when I got down to 10 payments it was a dance in the street stoked day.

I like the name Bobo Lauren, awesome! I think all cars are girls, haha. Yeah learned stickshift in my truck, funny stuff how that happens and yeah now I feel good when I’m climbing rock trails in it without stalling.

I think the next vehicle won’t be named Betsy, haha gotta create something new each time.

Congrats!! I don’t think we’ll finish paying for the WRX for like another 5 years hahahaha. I love her though, and she has a name too, it’s Bobo 😀 cuz of the turbo… WOOSH! Adrian says it’s a boy though… I say girl. Hmmph. Must be because I grew up around muscle cars lol everyone refers to their cars as “she”. I didn’t know you learned to drive a stick in Betsy, you drive it like a pro!! Especially when offroading!

And Betsy… lol my friend had 3 trucks named Betsy… the first one he had was Grandma Betsy, 2nd was Old Betsy, and current one is New Betsy… wonder what the next one will be. lol.

Congrats on paying off the truck! I just started my payments on my Subi…long ways to go, but if you take care of your car it’ll pay you back for a long time.
