Those of you who love Toyota trucks are in for a superb treat.
There are a couple of things you surely know about already, but we'll recap quickly. First of all the 2011 Tundra's are long since released, as area the 2011 Tacoma's, and secondly, Handy's has had some seriously awesome versions of these already awesome vehicles. What you may not know, however, is that there are new versions of these?
Another holiday season has come and gone, New York City has survived a blizzard, 2011 is just days away, and the Super Bowl is five weeks from being played. I decree that spring is breaking out all over! With that said, we at Handy Toyota are grateful for the excellent 2010 calendar year that will soon be completed and look forward to an excellent 2011 which will be full of challenges and opportunities.
One such opportunity (or challenge, depending on how you look at it), though not quite the landmark that tearing down Yankee Stadium will be, involves the moving…
I posted a blog (on my day off! Yes, I'm committed, or crazy) about my favorite Christmas memory that you may or may not have read. It was posted on our Word Press blog site, wordpress.com/handytoyota, and I explained that my favorite Christmas memory revolved around the year I got my Super Nintendo-the very first console I ever owned all to myself without having to share it with my sister and two stepsisters. However Christmas 2010 proved to be a more important one than ever, easily overtaking my own consumerist gluttony memory as the better of the…
Toyota only recently joined up with electric car maker Tesla, in order to share alternative battery technology. Some of the outcomes of this include the RAV4 electric, and now the Tesla laptop battery idea. At first, Tesla Motors building powerplants by connecting thousands of laptop batteries seems nuts, but in the end it is absolutely brilliant.
Toyota, along with several other high end car makers, is turning to laptop batteries as a quick, cheap way…
Even after all the problems in Toyota PR land over the last year, the Japanese auto maker is still on top. The latest Kelley Blue Book Brand Watch study said Toyota is on top "as the most-considered auto brand among new-car shoppers." This is according to a press release by KBB, Toyota held the "most-considered auto brand" title from Q1 2007 through Q3 2009.
In Q4 2009 through Q2 2010, Toyota slipped to second place…
A few days ago, I decided I should begin my search for summer fun. What better way, I though, then in the form of a used motorcycle? Though I wasn't really sure where I should start, let alone exactly what I was looking for, I figured Craigslist would be as good a place to start from as any. So I logged on to the world's largest classifieds site and began to click around?
It feels good to be back at Handy's now that I've just finished up my first semester at Clarkson University. For me the pleasure of returning was two-fold: not only did I have a heavy workload for my major (mechanical engineering) and a well deserved respite from it, but I also decided to tackle Army ROTC on top of that. So after four months of nothing but mathematics and early morning Physical Training (PT) sessions, I finally made it back to St. Albans and to Handy's... thankfully in one piece!
Ever since the introduction of the small economy car during the initial rise of fuel costs at the beginning of this millennium, Toyota has led the way with its fuel efficient compact sedans. Today we have the 2011 Toyota Yaris, the next evolution in the Toyota compact sedan, which gets great fuel mileage, low cost of ownership, a low MSRP, and of course, Toyota safety.
Plainly put, the 2011 Toyota Yaris is perfect for the commuter, college student, or high school student because of the above reasons. The 2011 Toyota Yaris houses a 1.5-Liter 4-cylinder, super-efficient engine, available in…
This is my last official act of the work week! As soon as I have completed this I will be accompanying my wife Karen on a Christmas shopping trip to the Burlington area. You can just imagine the hustle and bustle awaiting us there. I am going with the mindset that nothing is going to annoy me no matter what. Patience, patience, patience then more patience is my motto for the remainder of…
Last week, to add a little excitement to the blog, we posted a trivia question "figure out what day Tom's birthday is." One large clue was provided but sadly the contest ended with nobody winning the Super Bowl tickets. Oh well! Back to the Bass Pro Shop gift cards, even though they're are very nice themselves.
For a break from the already present cabin fever my oldest son and I have joined a…
