Bentonia? To be honest with you I've never heard of Bentonia but I looked it up and you're actually pretty dang close to me... I live in Clinton. (moved here about 5 years ago).

I enjoy Clinton. Before I lived here I lived out in the country over in Louisiana and loved it.

I've been on here since February. I'm not gonna lie... I'm not much of a truck guy myself, I drive a Camry myself (a turbocharged Camry, that is ), but alot of my friends drive trucks so I know a little. A buddy of mine is looking into buying an '85 Toyota 4x4.

hey dont get me wrong, i like cars more. i just wanted to get this goin for him. now a camary would b really nice. especially one like urs.. as far as my personal vehicles. i have a 72 buick skylark with a 350 buick. #'s matching im restoring. also a 78 chrysler cordoba. so im really a car guy. but my work ride is the mazda. my brother is the same way. but wanted somethin with a litle better traction in the woods. im an asphalt kinda guy myself..lol

[360glitch]

Nice rides. Is the Yota used for just playing in the mud for for hunting, ect?

[jcshipp]

na, think my brother said he was goin to use it for daily, and woods. he bought it from my boss. needed motor rebuilt. so we're just takin it all down, and ensuring that itll b trouble free.

I use Memphis in my profile but I live in DeSoto county, MS (a bit north of you and Glitch). Funny thing, I used to have a 68 skylark with the buick 350, spent more time convincing people that buick made a 350 more than anything, great car/engine though!

Welcome to TN (toyotanation in this case)

cool ren, i had a 68 about 10 yrs ago it had been my grandmothers. it was a 2 door with 350 buckets and console. hate i ever let it go. loved that car too.
