    Busted CV boots and lots of squeaks.
    One word........TRUCK! Do what you wish. Mall crawl, or hit the woods. (I prefer the later, with the scrapes and dents to prove it).

    Damn. You had a brand new 5.0 mustang, got rid of it for a brand new tacoma AND a brand new WRX? Spend less than $2K on that WRX and you'll forget all about that mustang. :D

    Yea.. Loved the pony but it was just not worth having for other than the fair weather cruise.. My wife was wanting another ride and I wanted another truck so we agreed that if I got rid of the Mustang it had to be something worthwhile.. We agreed on either an Evo or the WRX.. The WRX won.. We ordered the Rex about 5 months before ordering the Taco..

    I actually got rid of this to obtain my 5.0...

    :eek: I thought I was the crazy one. Started with an old 97 F-150, then a 2007 WRX, then a 2007 350Z, then a 2007 F-150, then a 2007 Tacoma, then a 2008 FJ Cruiser, then now back to a 2004 STi. :rofl: Not even kidding.

    I liked driving that car.. Only thing was the electronics were horrendous and Nissan customer service was even worse. I actually didnt think twice on letting that car go.. Never even considered a Nissan ever since..:mad:

    What do you mean? Like the stereo and stuff didn't work? Or you had electronic engine trouble?

    I drove my off the lot and straight to some trails. Nothing crazy enough to do any damage, but I wanted to see what it could do.

    Here's a pick from a couple months later. It's sitting on the front and rear bumper and I had to get pulled through.
