    Re-arranged the whole stable to make it happen. Sold my 2010 370z touring/sport, and traded my 2017 4cyl sr utility for a Barcelona Red Pro.

    The wife: somewhat pissy

    Me: freakin’ ecstatic!

    Found a dealer in the small town of Macomb, Illinois with one sitting on the lot. Last Saturday of the month, and they cut me a very satisfactory deal. Communicated via email, and got no sense they would discount it. I thought I’d at least test drive to see if my obsessing over a pro was valid, or I should get over it. I got the feeling they’d fielded other inquiries about “wiggle room “, but I drove 2 hrs, so they took me seriously. Awesome truck! The black leather seats beckon you in, the sweet roar of the trd cat-back exhaust as she roars to life does not disappoint. The v6 is so much smoother than the 4cyl. The rigid led fogs are definitely superior. Haven’t put the suspension to the test yet, but the ride is very smooth. I think it’s an improvement over the OR I drove a few weeks ago. Plush, but more controlled at speed.
    I stopped at a state park to snap a few cell phone pics on the trip home, better pics to follow.D5E6D0CE-8F5F-4A94-9259-F82063777E5A.jpgE8046DFB-64ED-4440-A7C3-BA005C692829.jpg 8191B09A-BCBF-440E-996F-7FD484737006.jpg

    Hey man, I can’t waitbro check it out in person!!! I almost bought a Barcelona Red from Springfield when I bought mine, but my last 4 vehicles were shades of red and I didn’t want to wait for a cement so landed on th inferno.

    Super happy for you and hope we can chat face to face next time we pass each other! Now we just need to find a place to rest some off-roading!!!!

    I think this Thursday Fort’s Toyota in Pekin is doing an overland get together. I may head that way after work. You interested?
