"...at what temperature does the much-complained-about cost of gas suddenly become less important..."
 
I think it would be the temperature that the engine over-heats and ruins itself at.

I would like to order one truck load of your 1:00 AM weather. Send it COD. I'm willing to pay.
 
I guess i did make it sound like I was complaining, but not really. I did build a fire in the wood stove today, then an hour later had the doors open becuase it got too hot.
 
I can tell you my tomato plants don’t like this weather, they need some of that southern heat.

"I have never seen a Toyota sticker/invoice before. What makes them so hard to comprehend? If they are any thing like ours they are pretty self explanatory. "
 
It's really very simple Joel. Some people don't have the capacity to understand simple English and basic math.
 
Back in the late 80's or early 90's Toyota was sued in California over "hidden fees". This suit required that Toyota Motor Sales USA list every fee on their invoices like dealer holdback, wholesale financial reserve, TDA, Destination Charge (called Delivery, handling, and processing fee on the Monroney sticker), and gasoline. This opened up a big can of worms since customers that have an invoice fetish and want to see the invoice always to not pay the fees. Before the lawsuit it was listed as:
Dealer invoice: Retail:
Base price: xxx Base price: xxxx
Options: xxx Options: xxxx
Freight xxx Destination charge: xxxx
________________ _____________________
 
Total xxxx Total xxxxx

Obviously you never negotiated a car deal with them.

Yep. It's got a big old blindspot. That's been the only complaint from buyers.
You know I have not seen a Pilot in person yet, only the pictures that are circulating around the net. What's up with all manufacturers putting big ugly chrome grilles on their vehicles?

I bartered with them over carpets and furniture while we were over there. It was fun to haggle. Perhaps I should have been a car salesman. Good grief!!! What did I just say?!!! I've been out in the heat too long today.

A 1928 high school building?! Poor children. Your state legislators and your local school board should be burned at the stake.
 
To stay on topic: I hope your school buses aren't more than ten years old. The least that they can do is get them to and from school safely.
