The story of the purchasing of my Tacoma. Its a good one.

having a 4x4 is the thing in high school. wait my school is full of civics and vdubs. im the only one in my highschool wit a new truck here, thats why i get all the girls lol. no seriosly i have the newest and biggest truck in my school

 

You guys really must not have rednecks where you live. We have about 3 f-250s lifted to the sky. Then there's me with my rice truck. I love parking next to the lifted diesels.

 

The biggest truck at my school is a black F350 Dually Diesel crew cab 4x4. Theres a ton of skyjacked full size trucks with huge body lifts and straight pipes as well.

Theres also three 5 lug 2nd gen Tacos, three double cab 2nd gens, 1 xtra cab 1st gen, 1 double cab 1st gen, 1 access cab 2nd gen (mine), and one 5 lug pre Taco extended cab.

 

seriosly i love trucks high or low, the guys at my school hates trucks. i have one buddy who has a rager who parks next to me the rest are civics, vdubs, sentras any import rides your name it

 

You must be the only straight guy at your school then.

 

Um. My first car was a Sentra SE-R.




Nothing gay about that. I miss the sport compact world. If I was gonna get something other than a truck (which with college coming up, I might do), I'd probably get a Honda Civic SI.

Edit again:

Found a video I recorded of the stock engine on start up. Sounds pretty mean for a stock 4 banger, eh? God I miss that little car.

I live in southeastern Appalachia Ky, i definently do not have the biggest truck, man if i lived in a place with civics and vdubs, i would also get the girls, i have to go up aganist Ford disel 250 with exhaust stacks in the back, and to a Modded F150 Black Lighting. I actually do not have the newest a guy whose dad is a farmer and former county clerk and he sold his Izuzu tropper and got a Honda Accord

It seems that about every family has some type of truck, the biggest used to be a crew cab 2500 or 3500 disel, now its the F-250

 

Sorry, my sarcasm gets me into trouble sometimes.

 

No worries, my online Sarcasm meter needs a tune up.

 

What happened to your Nissan?

 

trucks aint really the thing at my school. its mainly just. gas guzzling SUVs. everybody elese who doesnt have a SUV has a small car. There are 4 tacomas at my school. Mine, a Extended cab sr5 4x4 first gen and a regular cab 4x2 prerunner. and another 4x4 first gen extended cab and of course mine.

 

Long story short, I ended up with a lemon. I had things breaking and malfunctioning before I got it home for the first time. Power steering, fog lights, tail lights, audio system, ect. Had it for six weeks, only put 800 miles on it, and it spent maybe 2 of those weeks at the dealer and/or body shop. I sold it after my dealer decided to let some punk ass moron kid buff the shit out of the car and completely RUIN the finish. That was the final straw. Every last inch of the car was buffed, the body kit, the roof, the pillars, everything, it looked terrible. I couldn't bear looking at it.

BTW - Nissan customer service sucks. My dealer intentionally covered up issues with the car before I bought it, and then ruined my paint after I owned it. I had to go to war to get the power steering fixed, which is now a known issue with ALL the new SE-R and Spec V's. I had an invoice from a guy a guy in Canada who had it fixed, Nissan still tried to claim no such fix existed and the problem didn't exist, even though I knew atleast 10 different people who had taken their car to Nissan for the same issue, all where being fed the same line of bullshit. Fucking infuriates me thinking about it.

I loved the car, but I didn't want to pay $250 a month insurance on a car that spent most of its time at the dealer and that I couldn't enjoy driving.

Anyway, end rant.

 

wow. that sucks sorry to hear it.

 

That sucks man!

 

Gawd im glad I didnt buy that grill!

 

oh sh*t i fell asleep at "im 16" lmao

 

stop lying you get no trim

 

But then everone forgets the most important part of a 16 year old with a 4x4.

His Dad having to make $4k-6k a year insurance payments. If he could get insurance.

Back in the late 80's. I had a friend that was getting a 4x4, until he found out insurance was going to be through the roof. He ended up with a v6 mustang instead.

 

I was thinking the same thing Sorry, couldn't resist

 

Any story where someone buys you a tacoma is a good one.

Congrats on the new truck!
