Re: "did you and Miz De drive there in the Highlander? How do you guys like that vehicle after having it a tiny bit of time now?"We didn't go to the President's Manchester rally. I didn't even know about it beforehand, but I did watch it over the internet.

However, we drove to the Manchester airport on Wednesday to retrieve our son. The answer to your question is... we love it. It's a very comfortable, quiet car that gets excellent mileage. My one complaint remains: It has cheap speakers, and those of us who care about such things quickly pick up on it. Music has a slightly muffled sound to it instead of the crispness I enjoy. I've partially mitigated the problem by moving the balance toward the rear. The back speakers are considerably better.

Today, we drove the car back to the dealer to have a 5-year hard undercoat applied. They spray on a plastic/wax sealant that hardens on all treated surfaces and protects against salt and rust. The sample of the undercoat that I saw was the thickness of a Monopoly gameboard, so it's THICK.

At $599, it isn't cheap. But salt is unavoidable and incredibly destructive. My pickup's rear fenders are starting to rust through. I don't want that happening to the new car.

I've called several shops to compare prices. They were all $799 to $999 for a similar treatment and require inspections and re-oiling every two years (which means $99 each time.) Toyota's 5-year, nothing-more-to-do treatment is a bargain by comparison.

Undercoating with straight oil has to be done annually. Shops were quoting between $100 and $189.

Today we're driving a Toyota Camry provided by the dealer for "free." We'll return it tomorrow though we just heard that our car will be ready in another hour.

De

did you and Miz De drive there in the Highlander?

How do you guys like that vehicle after having it a tiny bit of time now?

It is a very well thought of vehicle and a great choice.

Best,
