A Visit to Toyota In FT. Pierce, FL
APtravelnews-December 29th, -Bob and Barb- Fort Pierce, FL--We received a letter of invitation from Bev Smith Toyota to take a test drive of any of their Toyota models, and if we did, we’d receive a 25-dollar American Express credit card. We took them up on this, and as advertised, after driving a model called Venza and a square XD Scion, less expensive model, half the price of the Venza. We loved the Venza, kind of a Cadillac, top of the line Toyota with all the usual bells and whistles, but we really liked the XD Scion. Yes, price was a factor, but actually besides their premium model; the Avalon. We had experience using the XD Scion on a loaner basis from Toyota a few years back, and driving it to N.Carolina’s town of Cashiers, up thousands of feet, on a very curvy road. The Scion performed like a more pricey sports car, not an 18-K, reasonably priced family car that also got great gas mileage to boot! Pierre F. St. Sume our auto salesman met us at the door, wasn’t pushy, gave us the keys to both models and presented us with our 25-dollar gift card. Frankly, the salesman at Bev Smith knew their business, and understood Child Psychology 101-“Don’t be too pushy, or aggressive, or the recipient will not be receptive to your advances and urging’s to make a deal.” We’ll be back again, and pass up all other dealers when we are ready to play; “Lets make a deal.”
Fishouflage Shirts Comfort and Sporty From Frabil!
APtravelnews-New Product Reviews–December 21st–Bob and Barb Product review–When I received my Fishouflage, 100% Polyester long sleeve shirt, it was of the Muskie design. The whole idea of these sporty shirts that come in Bass, Walleye, Redfish, European carp and the aforementioned Musky is that they show the fish in a camouflage mode in their respective habitat covers. When I put the shirt on and headed for a fishing club on Florida’s east coast, everyone I met liked the shirt and asked where I obtained it. After having checked Google, I found the shirts being sold at Bass Pro, Walmart and several other sporting goods outlets. So that’s the answer to anyone reading this. The shirts, while recently released, are now available just about anywhere. Especially, in the big box stores!
