My friend Maria took me for a drive in her Toyota ECHO this weekend.  I like
Maria a lot.  In our talking it came out that she bought her ECHO at the same

Alan was really good to both of us.  He hooked us up good.

Maria likes the ECHO for its visibility (you can't see the hood at all, the dash

my ECHO just fine the way it is, thank you!".

I love my Toyota.
