You can get a dodge Durango for $30k

I'm pretty sure I drove by you today on Route 32 in Eagleville (I think). You took a right hand turn. I wasn't in my truck though..

Nope. My truck is still in the shop. I'm getting it back this week.


I was actually down in Jersey Saturday for the supercross race.

What year was the Kia? I know about 10 years ago they were cheaply made and had issues, but they have invested considerable money into improving the quality since. My friends have a Sorento from just before they changed the style and it has been great. No issues at all.

2009 and they were like that new. It was a sportage to change a fog light bulb you had to take the front end off. The leds on the roof flickered after 3 years transmission shifted rough speakers and sub were blown after 3 years also any bass at less then half way up you could hear the speakers rattling.
