Christmas comes early

So, as I said in the voice post, I went up to Bakersfield this weekend, both to visit family for the holidays and to visit friends for the Solstice. When I pulled up at mom's house, a Toyota Sienna LE was waiting for me.

Now, I knew about this for a little while. My family has a mini-fleet of vehicles that they shuffle around every other year to optimize their lease options. This year, it was time for my Tacoma to return to the motor pool, so I was given the keys to the Sienna instead.

He handles a lot differently than the Tacoma. For starters, the Sienna is built on a Camry chassis, so it has a turn radius of virtually nil. It's like having a grand piano on a roller skate. He's also a V6 (as opposed to the straight 4 of the Tacoma) and is a lot larger. It'll take some getting used to, but I think I'll be happy with the vehicle.

Then I went to visit my best friend Jen, who presented me with an awesome sock monkey. His name is Pomegranate, and he's currently sitting on my desk at work.

Oh, most definitely. The hauling capacity alone is fantastic, not to mention having the extra seats, the better chassis, the shock system, the fantastic audio, and *gasp* more than two doors!
