If you had a second vehicle (or replacement) besides your Tacoma what would it be?

My dream car has always been an Evo 9, So that would be it. But if i wanna get something high end, a Mercedes AMG GTR...man i love those carz

 

TNGA Yaris if it ever comes to the states. If not, probably a Corolla.

127k miles on the taco, so it's getting to be time for a commuter car again.

 

I’ve been thinking about this a lot, OP. Since i live in the desert i drive very long distance all the time, im putting a shitton of miles on my new taco (double the average). Been thinking of leasing a prius as a commuter, no bullshit....
53 mpg highway....

 

Not considering my wife’s 4Runner, 1st Gen Tacoma or a 200 series Land Cruiser, maybe a Lexus LS.

 

Always known boats were terrible but considering you haul so many, is it really that bad?

How much fuel to make a 1000 mile trip, incl. take-off/land?

 

Mazda Miata.
There are plenty of used ones out there for pretty cheap.

When I was young, I wanted a two seat British sports car.
Basically the same thing but reliable.

Maybe I'll start looking seriously this coming Spring.
I figure I'll sell my Kawasaki Vulcan then.
It's getting scary any more to ride a bike out there with all the idiot drivers.
And my reflexes aren't what they used to be.

 

Nissan GTR

 

I'd recommend buying a 7-10yr old one, they're nearly abuse-proof and depreciate more than most people think.
Mine is the only car I've ever owned that I truly don't care about, requires very minimal maintenance, and 55+mpg.

 

Blown 30 ford 5 window highboy, 34 ford 5 window, 36 ford 5 Window highboy,
66 GT350, 70 Chevelle SS 396, 67 El Camino, 64 GrandPrix, 64 Ford Falcon Sprint, 63 Falcon Hardtop, 57 Belair No Post, 70 C10, 89 5.0 Notchback, 04 Mustang Cobra, 65 Shelby Cobra, 66 Sunbeam Tiger,

The list is way to long to list.

 

If I could afford it, X5M. I drove one for a couple hours. OMG it was nice and so fast. Ties the M3 on the track.

 

Westchester, NY to West Palm is a pretty common flight we do with my airplane and thats a little over 1000 mi.

We use pound when dealing with fuel vs gallons which makes calculating the aircraft’s weight easier but that flight burns about 14,500 lbs. Jet A weighs about 6.8 lbs per gallon. So 2140 gallons roughly for that flight. It will vary on the wind, altitude, and the load on board but that’s a rough idea.

Also can vary if it’s the go home leg of the trip. If we’re going home there’s a tendency to burn more since it’s usually firewalled.

 

Love these threads...let's me post my shit! Lol


Wife's RAV4 dinnit make it into photo...pos Toyota!

 

That is pretty bad if not splitting the bill between 100 people. I've always wondered how they stay in business. I know margins are slight.

On topic. Mini-van. You know, they suck fuel too when you drive them hard. Both my Sienna and Odyssey average 16-17 and just like a jet, usually worse going home than to work.

 

2020 Land Cruiser. Or a BMW M5 (a real one, with the V8). Or a 1967 Galaxie 500 convertible. Or a McLaren P1. Yeah, I could write an extremely long list of what should be sitting in the garage next to the Taco, but it will really just be a 3 or 4 year old 4Runner to replace the Escape when it finally dies.

 

Picture from summer time when I traded my last ‘other car’ in for a new ‘other car’. At times part of me wishes I went with something 2dr and rwd, maybe next time.

 

Camry Se 4cylinder 2019 great on gas and cheap to own so I can dump stupid money on my taco.

 

4 wheels: 2004 S2000 with Honda hardtop

2 wheels: 1983 Honda V65 Magna, 1999 Ducati 996s, 2008 BMW K1200s

Future wish list: 1st gen VW Bus

 

I have a 2015 Corvette and a 2016 LEXUS RX350, Tacoma fits in well!

 

Ford GT
