    It's like the old, classic British sports cars (which I very much lusted after back in the day).
    Small, agile, quick enough.

    But reliable. :p

    I do need a truck, even though I'm retired now.
    But I'll probably get a Miata anyway...

    Someone replied to a thread about an ultra white hood (super white is the correct name) and I included a picture of Trump as ultra white...

    Followed by the words T***P2020

    So yes, it was in “support” providing a better republican doesn’t step up.

    Corolla is probably a more realistic choice since Mini Cooper s is pushing past 30k for a low end model

    After 6 Mercedes 1 Porsche 3 Fiats and 3 Mini,s I needed a change never owned a Pick Up so why not went to the Toyota Dealer drove it bought reason behind it resale value and very simply info center in the dash. Will I take it ever off road probably not will I ever pull a trailer probably will I help my friends help move during a Arizona Summer Hell No. If money is no object I would go for a mid 70 Porsche 911 Turbo in Silver or green with red interior and a whale tale cause i love air cooled engines.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

    2nd choice would be a BMW (E9) we had one when I was a kid back in Germany

    If I didn't get the Toyota Tacoma then I would've went for an all black, third-generation (F15) BMW X5 diesel. Those are the two vehicles it came down to last October, and I went with the former. Sometimes I do wish I went with the BMW though. I've owned a BMW sedan (330xi) and a coupe (335is, still have it) and would've loved an SUV.

    My thoughts too. I think it’s more to avoid any unnecessary back and forth of red vs. blue but I felt 7 days was a bit much lol

    They are pretty different, yes, and I don't see it as a mum car personally. I love the way it looks.

    But I do love the MT in my Tacoma and the reliability is reassuring, although I spent more on Tacoma mods in less than a year than I did on repairs for my two previous BMWs. :bananadead:

    I had no idea the engine was getting redesigned. Don’t follow Subaru that close. Lol. I just want an STI

    Just looked it up. 2021 is when it happening I guess.

    I think Xterras are also pretty nice but I can’t really justify spending $20,000 on one when I get an older earlier model for way less.
