I lived in houston/katy area for around 4 years, from 21-25 years of age. I just moved back to my hometown i florida cause of family and started my own family. Auto Wizard is 1 of my biz's. Which is a touch up company. I did all the touch up for both Don Mcgills for around 4 years, and Once I decided to move back home, I taught a very good friend how to do it, and he is still working them today. Although the toyota store offered him a really nice salary once the houston store is up and runnin which will be nov 15, he is gonna take that job. I have alot of connections in houston in the automotive world. And also, now that i started a hotshot biz, there is alot of work going to houston from florida so i get to hang with friends for a day. I just went last week for biz, and decided it was so nice, im going again monday. Last trip i made 3500 bucks for a round trip of 2000 miles. This trip im going for 4k. Not bad for 4 days worth of work and I even get to hang with my boyz!!!!!

The Avalons are nice cars. You might also consider a Camry V6 XLE if you want a slightly smaller car. The v6 is ~270hp and very nice and it has a 6 speed auto in either the camry or avalon. The camry has a few less hp.

We have drove the Avalon and Altima and there is no comparison. We do want a little bigger car thats why we are thinking of the Avalon. The 300c is nice but the fuel mileage isnt as good.

The avalon is an amazing vehicle. It saved my grandfathers life when he was t-boned by a drunk driver. If your lookin for safety its the way to go.
