my base tacoma extended cab is great for every day driving. it's small enough that it's not like driving a whale, but big enough that you can carry just about anything and everying in it.

Xrunner would just add the HP and fun factor
And I thought the Aztek was ugly.

There are not many, if any at 25K new.

not really interested in a V6 Mustang/Camaro...even a Nissan Z is 30K or more...

I would love one too but I refuse to pay a premium to get one. Go to the ATL craigslist site and do a search. There is a guy selling a red one with 160k on it, with an interior worn to shit, and that hasn't run for years and has been just sitting in his garage... Guess how much he wants..




























$13K...

Paint looks good to me. I think you are seeing shadows from the fender flares. That's why there is the contrast between the doors, fenders, and quarters.

Think of it this way... Here is $25k... Go buy ANOTHER car. If you don't spend the money in a week you don't get it at all. As a matter of fact the money will go to the person you hate the most.

Now... What would you get..

Local Chevy dealer has a '70 Chevelle on the lot...asking more than $25k.
I would offer them the $25k on the spot.

I like those too.
Wife and I were leaving town yesterday and we saw the Chevelle.
She said "lets trade my car for it"
I'd trade her SUV, but I think I will keep my wife.

I don't know what the deal is, but the local Chevy dealer has had the '70 Chevelle, a C1 & C2 vette out front the last 3 days.
No idea where they came from.

Had my S4 for a little over two years. Did a couple mods to it. Loved it.. Sold it because in two years i had over $6k in warranty work done and the last time it hit the shop they denied the warranty claim.. It was only $400 but i took it as a sign..

Shit i bought my G8 before i even sold the Audi.. I kinda miss the murdered out kiddie hauler at times though.. The car look bad ass with the stance and black and gray.
