    I traded a 04 350z enthusiasts for my 06 Taco 4x4 SR5. I miss it a lot but I'm also happy with my truck. I hope to pick up another import in a couple years. Wanting to pick up another Toyota to go with my tacoma and highlander. Probably a supra if I can find a good one

    well don't bother with putting intake and exhaust cause it does nothing for performance for these trucks.

    Yep, which is exactly why I opted for the access cab! I don't mind sacrificing a little cab space in order to have the longer box. Still feels like a yacht inside compared to my s2000!

    Yeah I agree. I kind of regret selling it; it's the best pure sports car I've ever driven. Nothing beats slamming the tach off the 9000 redline coming out of some twisties! I will definitely be buying another one day.
