    miss the tacoma sometimes, but that isn't the case here.

    Wifey and I have been talking about buying a home. (renting right now) & also
    Starting to realize the risks of wheeling a 30k car :p
    Might snag a trail rig and something that is cheaper and sips gas.
    Did some math...would be saving tons of cash a month

    Just thinking about sellin it right now...really don't wanna...but don't want to kick myself in the ass years later for not jumping on the real estate deals goin on these days :anonymous:

    I am in the same boat. My tacoma is pricey and with the deals right now a mortgage is about the same as my taco payment. I got the New Trail rig for a steal and will have it paid off in a year so I can dump all my cash in to property.

    You are a wise man!

    thanks Josh
    I am sure it will pay off in the long run. Probably going to get serious about making a change up in the next 6 months.

    what did you snag for a trail rig?


    back on topic...

    Did Gay Fred get his lift on? :eek:

    Haahaa my wife would flipping kill me!! She hates the little suicide doors and the ridiculously huge rear door.

    Really hard to get a baby seat into the back of the Fj for her

    I got an 07 FJ Cruiser, lots of miles but for 9K you cant beat it. Its the Off road version so it has all the goodies and this weekend it will begin its journey with an icon upgrade and some 285's.

    Oh man thats a bummer, some guy just came in to our dealership last month and traded his 4 runner for a new tacoma. he was old and it had 61K miles original and always garaged. Sadly a mechanic here picked it up from us already. It was SWEET!

    Anyone have any experience or insight on the new Mazda MX5 Miata? I went with Jonny this weekend to look at them, he is thinking about trading his FJ in on one. I am trying to talk him out of it, but he says its a "Sports Car."



























































    Jk, My mom is wanting to get one, and I am trying to talk her out of it, but I have read pretty good reviews on it. Curious if anyone on here has any insight.
