No, I can't. But I can imagine paying that much for a BMW. :) Not this guy. I don't really care about slick sophistication nor prestige. I want stone axe reliability and reasonable fuel economy. That's why I drive a 1996 Toyota 100 SR5 4WD that I bought new and have owned for almost 15 years. Without a doubt, the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's got thousands of miles being pounded down rough gravel roads and it still doesn't squeak or rattle. I have not spent one dime on repairs. The only maintenance has been new tires, batteries, windshield wipers and air filters along with regular lubrication. No rust and never a problem. Sorry for going off topic here.

Glad you mentioned it. I have long wondered about a term you used to describe your Toyota, " SR-5 " I see it on all kinds of Toyota Vehicles of many different stripe. Have you any idea what it stands for, and why its on so many different Toyota models ? I even asked my dealer, and he hasn't an answer. My 2010 Prius doesn't have the SR-5 emblem.
Incidentally, an AMSOIL brand (www.amsoil,com) POD air filter can be used on the 928 carb intake, it is a highly moisture/water restistant oiled Foam air filter that vibrates as the engine operates to shake off anything that tries to cling to it. It might do the trick for anyone wanting a solution to water injestion. I will use whenever I start the machine off season or whenever dust is possible in the air. My Honda HS 928 TAS has no such problem as water injestion, but it does illustrate the problem with having no air filter on a snowblower engine.
