New Toyota Owner - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello all!

Joey O here from Long Island, NY. Just picked up my first Toyota: a new Blizzard Pearl/Black 2011 Toyota Highlander Limited for my soon-to-be wife (getting married 12/19). This is replacing her 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit S. I've been a very active member on many other forums such as VWVortex, and now Audizine (I have a 2010 Audi A4), and hope to meet a bunch of nice people here too.

Pics of the Highlander when it arrived at the dealership Friday afternoon:

After getting the front windows tinted this morning:

a quick shot of the A4:

And the old Rabbit:

Finally, all 3 before we handed over the keys of the Rabbit to the new owner:

Oh, yah, Blizzard Pearl! I've never regretted getting that color with my Highlander. Looks like I'll be seeing you around the 2nd Gen Highlander forum. BTW, make sure to check out the sticky threads there, which are filled with information and links for you.

to the nation!

Welcome aboard... and GOOD JOB losing the Rabbit!

Hey!

Great Color choice, our 2006 Avalon is Blizzard Pearl White, and it looks excellent when the sun hits it, and it not hard to keep clean, looking great.

Hi Joey, welcome to TN!

Congrats on the purchase of the Highlander! It looks great. I bet it's nice to drive

I hope you enjoy yourself here at Toyota Nation

Thank you all for the warm welcome! We are absolutely LOVING the Highlander already. Especially me. I have to beg Mrs. JoeyO to let me take it LOL. Now I love my Audi to death, and have had a wonderful 11 months of ownership and modding...but I really enjoy the Highlander. Having taken a leave of absence from the world of SUVs for the past 3 years, I am really glad to have one back in the driveway. Hopefully I'll get a chance to wash both cars this weekend, and have a little photo shoot.

I just finished an 1,100 mile road trip up to San Francisco and Monterey, and as usual my Highlander made the trip a pure joy. I'll be posting up my mileage stats in the Fuel & Economy forum, as well as the Highlander forum, once I've calculated my stats. You're going to love your HL!
