Default 1,500 pounds of cargo in a Highlander? No Problem :)

I had to make my 3 month pilgrimage to Publix to buy another 200 12-packs of Diet Cherry Vanilla Coke. (They tell me they're gonna discontinue them )

So here's what 150 of them (10 pounds each) look like in a Highlander. Pretty uneventful, as always. Just a bit of a low rider.

FWIW...the reason that stuff has expiration dates on it is because the artificial sweetener breaks down in time. Keep it cool and drink it fast...it probably won't taste that great after about 3-4 months.

It takes me less than 100 days to drink that much. That's about the 8th time I've made that big of a purchase.

My teeth are perfect. In fact, I played Racquetball with my dentist last night.

Brushing 6-8 times/day, along with mouthwash seems, to work. FWIW, been drinking Diet Coke like that for 21 years.

Never had one. Drinking that much liquid doesn't seem to allow stones to form. I'm always recycling Diet Coke.

when you see those price fluctuations in the stock price, that's when I modify my purchase preferences.

The best 'vehicle' is what you have....a nice SUV and a C6. For me it's a jeep but I always have a vehicle that serves the purpose of the moment.
