Dude, your truck was badass! But at least you sold it to a friend who can enjoy it also.

I wouldn't abandon that Aston Martin plan.

Astons are beautiful no doubt and I've always wanted one. The price of admission is higher and although very well put together and absolutely stunning in beauty there are no Aston dealerships close to where I live.

Or you could get a McLaren 570s

I regret it... I'll freely admit that. But for the price he payed I couldn't pass it up. It completely payed for a new car with money left over.

RearViewMirror[OP] initial post: ↑

I never thought I'd be posting this but here I am. A few days ago I sold my truck that I had so much time, money, experiences, and passion for. I have many fond memories in this truck and have camped out in the San Juan mountains for days at a time during multiple trips to Colorado.

So here is the back story. For the last 6-8 months a friend of mine on the FD has been begging me to sell it too him. I flat out refused because I had no intention of ever getting rid of it. This was the truck that was going to take me to Colorado when I retire. A few days ago he made an offer that for lack of a better word... I couldn't refuse. So he cut me a cashier's check and now the truck is his. I miss it already.

I took the money that he payed me and paid cash for this for my wife since my truck only had 4 months from being paid off with some money left over.

Limited Edition FRS RS 2.0. They only made 1000 of these and it only comes in this color. She has #96 of 1000.

Inside is covered in Alcantara with leather trim and has every option available. First vehicle I've ever payed cash for.

So now my dilemma is this... I do not like the 16 body style (but I'm sure that will grow on me) and as of right now I don't trust the engine. I never buy a new redesigned vehicle the first year just so they can get the bugs worked out with them. I like the 4Runner but need a bed. But the reality of the situation is, as of right now, I don't "need" a truck. I'm leaning very heavily toward a Jaguar F Type R Coupe with AWD, 550HP S/C engine, and Carbon Ceramic Brakes ($12k option I might add) . I have no car payment now and I've always wanted something that was completely irrational and this fits the bill.

And the most beautiful exhaust note in modern times

I'll drive it for a few years then when the time comes I'll be back in a Tacoma ready for offroad in Colorado. Still in shock I sold my truck.

Agreed... but no way to get it serviced. Don't get me wrong... I've always wanted a Aston. It's just not in the cards.

Have you thought about the new Mercedes AMG GT?
Just giving you options of other cars

I did yes. I "personally" think the Jaguar is more appealing to "me". Very nice car no doubt though.

big_jarv · Jun 11, 2016

Congratulations on the scion I really like that color.

I agree get the jag!

TacoJova · Jun 11, 2016

The new Porsche 911 is also a very good car too.
What do you think of them?

I like them and the Germans certainly know how to build a very nice sports car. My main issue (albeit a bit absurd) is the 911 has been around for years and the body style has changed very little. The performance between the two comparable cars are "basically" identical so I would prefer to stand out in the crowd rather than just be another Porsche driver.

Look on the bright side Britt, now you're eligible for Mod status!

I agree but I also think that if reliability is a concern then I think the Porsche will be more reliable and probably turn better but the Jag would be faster in the straights
But then you have to have some serious balls to even push both those cars to their limit

What about that new Lexus coupe. That rc-f reminds me of the supra. I don't know the specs but that would be the one I would purchase. Pretty sexy vechile.

TacoJova · Jun 11, 2016

I also wonder if Toyota will ever make the FT1

bigfoote13 · Jun 11, 2016

Or the new Acura NSX
