When I bought my 4 runner...well to make a long story short, I went to buy a Highlander and instead bought a 4 runner...something I had wanted for many years but always thought they were higher priced than I wanted to pay. I went into the showroom after test driving the Highlander, reluctantly to discuss pricing with the sales people, and wandered upon a black 4 runner that eagerly opened it's doors to me.
I decided to test drive one. They brought a black one up for me to test drive and....it was covered in ladybugs. In October. In Wisconsin. I knew...before I even got behind the wheel that I was going to have to take it home with me.
I did.
I purchased Maybelle, the ladybug, to sit on the DASH of my 4 runner and travel with me every where I go. Bringing good luck.
130,000 miles later. First new tires put on last year. Still has the original brakes on it. (Now hoping this doesn't jinx it all.) Hoping for another 130,000.
Hoping...the next will be just as lucky as this one has.
I love the stories you tell here. I'm really getting to know you. Keep it up!
