went on a 60 mile drive and seen a lot of tundra's
Ok here is my little story.
I went on a drive with the wife. well actually she drove since i had hernia sergery and it was to hard to sit all the way up. so i decided to count how many new tundras i would see on the way down to the gun show
talked her into it since i was board sitting at home.
I counted 9 on I5 between tacoma and centralia all colors and sizes.
seems they are more on the road around here than there used to be
then i parked my truck near the door of the show right in front. on the way out i was talking with my wife and a couple friends when i noticed more than one person peeking in my windows of my truck and giving it the once over. then i heard a few people comment on how nice they are. i had just had it serviced and washed so it looked good.
so all in all it was a great day of shopping at the gun show and hearing comments on the truck.
what more can you ask for
Re: went on a 60 mile drive and seen a lot of tundra's
On Saturday, my sister were heading north and we passed 5 heading south on Meridian, between 136th and 512.
One of them may have been you, it was about 1pm?

I avoid Meridian like the plague.
A guy stopped me at Freddy's on 176th weekend before last, asking about my lift and tires, he was driveing a Red DC with the brushed running boards, forgot to ask him if he knew of this site.

what more can you ask for
I went from Renton, WA to Astoria, OR (180 miles on I5 and hwy 30) and only saw a handful of Tundra's, but I did take a snap shot of a John Deere Tundra for you guys. I guess if your not looking for Tundra's you're not going to see them. I did see a few FJ60's and a mess load of Dodge Ram's.

I pulled up on that accident, minutes after it happened, Aid had just pulled up. Sad, I always wonder who was at fault on that one, never saw anything in the news about it. I ride, and that stuff really hits home.
I live right in that general area too.

yeah i guess it was a really ugly accident. from what the wife said he was local and lived down the street and what the people in the area say is he blew through a red light.

Kind of what it looked like based on where the bike was in relationship to the car that hit him, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions.
Driving by the little shrine his friends have erected, makes my stomach turn a bit.
These kids really need to go through the rider training courses before they are allowed to ride, but sadly, it's not required and most of them don't even have endorsements.
