True that!!! 😂

Are you trying to say Boeing? Cause you’re hurtin’ my ears here!

I don’t know what the market is on these, but that sounds like a pretty great deal!

Great car overall and I think these will be coveted in decades to come, but I grew too impatient and grabbed an auto before the manual came out (and didn’t want to get into bidding wars over scarce manuals). I just prefer a manual for a fun car. Would still consider a manual supra and they’re probably going to get…

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been buying a new car lately what kind of deals they’re seeing. I’ll say that against my better judgment I’ve purchased a few new cars during what we could call the last few “pandemic shortage” years. They’ve all been at sticker and that’s the first time I’ve ever paid msrp for any…

Give me the front end of the base LE. There’s only 1 place I want to see honeycomb these days

A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete. From the moment he’d initiated the reboot method of holding down two steering wheel buttons,

Somewhat random recollection: Kansas City essentially straddles the state line between KS and MO. Not a motorcycle rider myself, but knew several—it was always interesting to me that in the past riders had to plan their route ahead: KS was a non-helmet (eye protection only) state, MO was a helmet state. Sounds…

Counterpoint: a reserve auction is exactly what the seller needs to mitigate the possibility of a cratered value. Nothing to lose. A no-reserve auction would be far more nail-biting.

Correct. What I meant (confusingly worded on my part) was I was surprised no one else had commented on the death of the V6 to the turbo 4 options only going forward (it seemed like that was a lot of people’s concerns early on during the rumor phase).

No mention of a 3 row option (not that I’d want one in mine). No comments on turbo 4 vs the end of the NA (V6). From what I’ve read in the forums, the turbo 4 has been a good engine and reliable, however, it can hesitate/be sluggish if you don’t use premium. A minor point, but probably good to know if true.

They do make a 4cyl hybrid that gets 35mpg city (actually 36)—it’s called the Highlander. You can’t force people to buy the car they really need.

I think they’ve kept pace with inflation.  We bought our 2002 4R sport edition new and it was about $31k (maybe $33k; can’t find but a Limited stickered for 36 that year).  31k in 2024 dollars is almost $55k. 

Looks great! 

Roll down the window and advertise I guess

This is expected to cause quite a roe.

his “pickup” was originally owned by a man in Lincoln, Nebraska...the owner was a heavy equipment operator and actually used the bed of this thing to haul stuff.

I’m seriously torn on this. The heart says the Mk7 GTI b/c if something happened to mine, I’d be on the interwebs the next day looking for a replacement, but I think the nod goes to the FL5 Type R:

All your base 4Runner are belong to us!

That’s what I did with my ‘17 GTI—flew to Colorado and drove it back to KS on the interstate. It remains a great road trip memory and loved that turbo acceleration shove. I think I took an extra exit ramp or two just to rev it back up again. 7 years later, still never gets old.
