WELL THOUGHT I WOULD THROW OUT MY 2 CENTS. I HAVE HAD 6 TOYOTA VEHICLES IN THE LAST 20 YEARS AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THERE ISN'T A VEHICLE OUT THERE BUILT BETTER ! I BOUGHT MY FIRST 88 TOYOTA SR 5 4 CYLINDER AN RAN IT TO 215,000 MILES NEVER TOUCHED IT . BOUGHT A NEW 1995 TOYOTA SR5 WITH 6 CYLINDER NEVER TOUCHED IT , MY BUDDY SLILL HAS IT WITH 200,000 MILES ON IT . BOUGHT A 2003 TOYOTA TUDRA WITH V8 AND IT WAS A GREAT TRUCK SOLD IT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WITH 80,000 ON IT. NOW IT BOUGHT A 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH THE 5.7 LITER IN IT. WOW I LOVE THIS TRUCK. 381 HORSE WITH 401 FT LBS TORQUE AND A 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION . I HAD THE TOW PACKAGE AND TRAMISSION COOLER ORDERED WITH 4.30 REAR END WITH THE SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION AT 65 MPH IT RUNS ABOUT 1800 RPM . PULLED THE 26' ERIE BOAT WITH IT THE OTHER DAY AND MAN IT WASN'T EVEN SWEATING. THE BRAKING ON THE TRUCK IS GREAT. PULLING MY 21' BASS BOAT THE TRUCK DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ITS BACK THERE . I HAVE ABOUT EVERY OPTION ON THE TRUCK AVAILABLE INCLUDING BACK UP CAMERA, GOT TIRED OF DINGING UP MY BUMPER HOOKING UP THE BOAT . > WITH THE REBATE, TAX IN PRICE WAS 33,500.00 DROVE THE CHEVY SILVERADO AND ITS A NICE TRUCK BUT THE TOYOTA SEEMED TO BE A BETTER HANDLING TRUCK ALL AROUND. PLUS THE TOY WAS CHEAPER. MY WIFE HAS HAD A CAMERY AND A FORERUNNER AND THE SERVICE FROM MY TOYOTA DEALER HAS BEEN GREAT . ALL IN ALL I HAVE'NT FOUND ANYTHING BETTER OR MORE RELIABLE THAN TOYOTA. THE BEST THING HAS BEEN THAT WHEN I SELL THE TOYOTAS THE RESALE VALUE IS ALWAYS GOOD . ZIMMY

WELL WENT OUT SATURDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME FISHING . MAN IT WAS GREAT TO BE OUT AFTER THIS WINTER ! WE LAUNCHED OUT OF NEW BUFFALO AND TROLLED OUTSIDE OF THE RIVER ENTRANCE IN 8 TO 20' OF WATER . WE ENDED UP WITH 16 HOOK UPS AND LANDED 8 NICE COHOS . WE WERE USING REEF RUNNER RIP STICKS AND SMITHWICKS RUNNING IN THE 6' TO 12' RANGE . ALL IN ALL WAS A GREAT DAY AND IT SURE WAS NICE GETTING A LITTLE SUNBURN . ZIMMY

WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE WAS OUT FISHING LAKE MICHIGAN BY ST JOE ,BENTON HARBOR FOR BROWNS AN COHOS. DON'T KNOW IF ANY REPORTS ABOUT ANYONE CATCHING ANY ? THOUGHT MAYBE ABOUT GOING OUY AND TROLLING FOR SOME ZIMMY

just went up to 3.49 here in wakarusa indiana guess i will just float the river and let the big motor rest :-/ zimmy

well i'm back from lake amistad and wow what a lake the weather couldn't have been better. mostly in the 70s. did manage to get a nice sunburn. water temps in the mid 50s. since i rented a boat an didn't have a guide it took me a little bit to figure out the lake. there is a lot of underwater brush, stumps and rock points . the most sucsess i had was fishing a 10" berkley texas rigged in the 10 to 20' range. in around the stumps and brush on points with deeper water close by. watermelon or purple seemed to work well. the one morning it was cloudy then i did catch some in 2 to 8" range on slow rolling spinnerbaits. the best part was this winter i started to make my own spinnerbaits and caught a 4lb bass on it 8-) i caught a lot of bass in the 2 to 4lb range. i didn't catch anything huge but did have a lot of fun . the water is really clear and you can see down 10' or more with good polarized glasses. i stayed at the amistad resort, nice place with very accomidating people. the guys at the marina were very freindly and helpful. it appeared that most of the bass were staging and gettin ready for the spawn. i flew in to san antonio and drove down to amistad. overall a very good trip and would go again in a heart beat 8-) wasn't very happy to come back to indiana :'( zimmy

ITS NOT WHAT I CAUGHT BUT STILL FUNNY. MY BUBBY AND I WERE FISHING AND THIS DUCK CAME BY AND EVERY TIME MY BUDDY WOULD YELL AFLAC THE DUCK WOULD QUACK BACK. I THINK THIS ticked THE DUCK OFF BECAUSE WHEN MY BUDDY TURNED HIS BACK AND BENT OVER TO TIE A LURE ON THE DUCK JUMPED UP ON THE BOAT AND GRABBED A BITE OF HIS UNDERWEAR THAT WAS HANGING OUT I NEARLY FELL OFF THE BOAT LAUGHING THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WAS PRICELESS

WELL I BOOKED THE AIRLINE TICKETS , RENTED THE BOAT AND NOW I'M GOING TO LAKE AMISTAD. I FIGURED A COUPLE DAYS OF SOAKING UP SOME WARM TEXAS SUN WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE COLD WEATHER BLUES. PLUS I FIGURED IF I CATCH A COUPLE BASS THAT WILL MAKE THE TRIP WORTH IT. SO IF THERE IS ANYONE WITH SOME GOOD TIPS FOR CATCHING THOSE LM BASS IT WOULD HELP ME ALOT. I HEAR IT IS A PRETTY CLEAR LAKE? WHAT ABOUT VEGITATION , STUMPS OR ROCKS. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FISH THIS EARLY FOR THEM DOWN THERE ? THANKS ZIMMY 8-)

i got mine from jans net craft they have a lot of lure an tackle making products. it sure helps pass the long winter months the one they have cost around 80.00 and comes with a couple different tips here is there web address www.jannsnetcraft.com zimmy

THATS GROSSMANS PROBLEM HE NEVER ROLLS FROM THE POCKET , JUST STANDS THERE AN THROWS INTERCEPTIONS

WELL I FINALLY AGREE MY BEARS NEED A QUATERBACK BECAUSE IT DONT LOOK LIKE GROSSMAN IS EVER GOING TO GET IT DONE > HEARD THROUSH THE GRAPEVINE MAYBE MCNABB WOULD BE INTERESTED , DONT CARE AS LONG AS WE GET A REAL QUARTERBACK . WHEN YOU KEEP THROWING MORE INTERCEPTIONS THAN TD PASSES SOMETHING IS WRONG. MAYBE LOVIE WILL LET GRIESE START. CANT BE WORSE THAN GROSSMAN. ZIMMY PS MATT DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON NOTRE DAME

as a tire dealer i will give you a few tips #1 always buy name brand tires/ you get what you pay for. generic tires are that, generic by name brand tires i mean michelin,bridgestone, goodyear,firestone,bf goodrich and so on. the reason you did not find much information on michelin destiny is because that is built for discount by michelin. in other words if you went the michelin with 5 million and said build me a tire they would . the tire would say michelin and then you could put bass tire on the side. the tire would say michelin bass ;D discount tire , pep boys, walmart and other big chains do not make there own tires. they buy them from the name brand manufactures. if it has a major tire company's name on the side it will be built the the companies standard even though it is sold at a discount tire store. it will have the tire manufactures warranty behind it. if you look on the websites of the major companies like michelin you will see there tires listed on site. they will not match what discount is selling. the tires listed on there site are sold at authorized michelin dealers only. zimmy

CHECK OUT NAVONICS PREMIUM AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED I HAD A HOT SPOTS CARD AND IT IS IN THE DESK COLLECTING DUST THERE ARE ALOT MORE LAKES ON NAVONICS AND ARE ALSO MORE DETAILED. THEY ALSO MAKE ONE FOR CANADA ZIMMY

ITS THE GLOBAL WARMING BOYS

as far as maintanence the boat manuel says drain the oil change the filter and grease, pretty simple if you as me. it has a drain plug on the side were the oil drains and you just dump the oil in the top. it reminds me so much of just like a car motor as far as air filters, oil filters and the whole ball of works. a couple of weeks ago when i took it on a test run on lake michigan it ran great . the awesome part was when the motor hit about 2000 rpm you could feel the supercharger kick in . that was wild. 8-) zimmy

WHEN THE SMALLMOUTH ARE AGGRESIVE ON THE RIVER MY FAVORITE IS A 3/8 OZ SPINNERBAIT. WHITE WITH CHARTRUSE. ZIMMY

YEAH I'M ABOUT AS EXCITED AS A FOX IN THE HEN HOUSE. IT IS A LITTLE TO EARLY TO TELL THE GAS USAGE. I DO KNOW IT HAS TO BE ABOUT TWICE AS GOOD AS MY OLD 2 STROKE WAS . THE WORST PART IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO KEEP THE TEARS OUT OF MY EYES AT THAT SPEED :'( LOL I HAD A 98 TRITON AND NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD OWN A BOAT LIKE THIS . I MUST CONFESS THIS BOAT I PRETTY MUCH STOLE . IT WAS NOVEMBER AND THEY WANTED TO GET RID OF IT REALLY BAD. THE BOAT WAS LISTED IN CONNETICUT AND I'M IN INDIANA . THE BOAT HAD 30 HOURS ON THE ODOMETER. NOT A FLAW OR SCRATCH ON IT . THEY TOLD ME IF I CAME AND PICKED IT UP THAT WEEKEND I COULD HAVE IT FOR 30K. 3 HOURS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE WINNING THE LOTTERY 8-) THE WORST PART IT IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE READY TO GO AND WE HAVE ABOUT 0 DEGREE'S . ZIMMY

THAT MOTOR IS SO QUIET THAT WHEN I WAS FLYING ACROSS THE WATER I CON'T EVEN HEAR THE MOTOR. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP I THOUGHT THE MOTOR STALLED. 8-) ZIMMY

WELL GUYS I FINALLY GOT THE BOAT I WANTED 2005 TRITON 21' DC X SERIES W/ 250 SUPERCHARGED VERADO PICKED IT UP IN CONN, IT WAS TRADED IN ON A DEEP SEA BOAT 30 HOURS ON IT . TOOK IT UP TO LAKE MIGHIGAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND MAN IS IT SWEET. 4 STOKE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO 8-) NO CHOKING OR SMOKING. TOP SPEED IS BLISTERING , MAKES MY EYES WATER. CAN'T WAIT FOR BASS FISHING TO START ! OF COURSE AS I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW IT IS COLD AN SNOWING :'( ZIMMY

bears 27 colts 24 anyway peyton didn't pick apart the ravens,he didn't even have a touchdown pass! they won because they ran the ball an the only points scored were field goals zimmy

amen plus the bears just got done holding the highest scoring offense in the league to 14 points
