    So yesterday I finally drove home a Taco!! So excited and I just thought I'd say hello! I sold my 07 335i for my 13 TRD. I think I'll be happy with the tacoma as it can tow the track car :) And... Since I know pics are always needed! :)

    Welcome man, congrats on the new truck! I am also in the switching from sports car to truck crew. I sold my s2000 and bought an 08 TRD offroad.

    Having the truck certainly makes it a lot easier to haul my bike around! Here's a shot of my taco:

    I still miss the car but it's definitely nice having the truck for year round use. I see you're from Canada as well, so I'm sure you can relate to our great white north winters haha.

    Should just keep the S2000 man. Have both :). I had 2 s2000 (2007 & 2006). Never seen a car appreciate in value.

    Some day I might get an S2000 again and this time keep it as a weekend car.

    OP, did you dump the 335 because of the many problems they tend to have? Personally, I'd rather drive my bimmer than my truck, as long as it's on pavement.
