Show me your daily Rowdy edition

I wanna start a rowdy daily thread so I wanna see what you drive!
While I love and enjoy my 2014 Tacoma the past 6 months I have been leaving it in the driveway and only taking it out for dump runs and the occasional trip to the steel yard. I would like to introduce "Nancy Drew" I bought this gem from a elderly woman name Nancy Drew for $600. It has 250,000 miles and since I've bought it I have put almost no money into it and have rallyed the absolute piss out of it all while getting 28 City and 36 hwy mpg.

Mods/ Work done

Love it!

 

That’s awesome.

 

Two years ago, I needed a fuel efficient daily and was looking at Corolla's. The last one I looked at was a 2002 and only had 120,000 miles on it. Guy wanted $3500. My wife and I went and test drove it and there were lots of red flags. On the test drive, with the seller in the front seat, his kid and my wife in the back, my wife spent the $20 and did a VIN check. Turns out the car had over 350,000 miles on it when it was sold at auction in Texas. It was our best guess that someone (the seller?) bought a low-mile instrument cluster and was trying to pass this haggard 350k mile car off for a low-mile cream puff.

$600 for your Corolla was a steal!

I ended up buying my neighbor's 5 speed Focus. So far it's been fantastic (38mpg!) but it's not a Toyota. I grew up driving 22R Toyota's so everything else I drive feels like a rally car. This thing is no different!


I also did the aluminum skid plate but paid a few bucks for the aluminum (lol)


New sparkys, fluids and brakeys.




2 years and 25k without a problem so hoping for many miles of reliable rallying.

 

Rock on man that looks great! Yes I had that happen to me once You really have to run a vin check before you buy there are scammers everywhere. I like the skid plate you made what plasma cutter do you have? I got my street sign from the scrap yard for 10$ lol

 

Woot good stuff. It shows you have your priorities right when the bike on the roof costs more than the car! Man after my own heart...

 

Hahaha thanks yes the bike was probably 6 times more expensive than the car lol
