    He had a pretty bad concussion and his chest broke the steering wheel in half. But he was able to walk away from the accident.
    It's a shame it had 45k orginal miles

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    It's been a good daily, sold my old 94 Corolla that I was using as a daily beater to a buddy for $500 and he's still driving that thing around, at 400k+ mi and it won't give up. I've had other BMWs and decided if I do it again it would be E46 or older if buying used because they're relatively reliable and not as electronically complex or I'd lease/buy new so I'd have a warranty. Always wanted an E46 so I went old used and it's been great.

    I was thinking of a Ranger or S10 too, pretty reliable and easy to work on.

    I drive a Miata.
    A ford focus with a 5MT. I was on my way to buy that when I stopped and test drove a Miata real quick. I decided to up my budget a little as a result of that test drive.
