“close enough to $60K to not fully list the actual amount of $59,495"

Bought the real MKV Supra last year:

In 2012 I bought a ‘06 Honda S2000 for $18K. In 2017 I sold it for $21K and bought a ‘00 NSX for $67K. In 2021 I sold the NSX for $154K on BringATrailer:

The federal government should create a law legalizing manufacturer-owned stores in all 50 states — thereby Supremacy Clause’ing away all the state laws creating franchise dealerships — and put the franchise dealership model out of business.

The fast Lexus isn’t pretty because it doesn’t have to be. If you want the pretty Lexus:

I’ve been to the Lexus Performance Driving School a couple of times, the LC500 is a capable car but you can reach its limits. The first time I rode in an LFA I thought “I am the limiting factor of this car”. So I agree, it’s nice to have a car that isn’t so easy to do stupid things in.

I’m on my second LC500, my buddy has an LFA (only the 2nd I’ve seen).

“Infinite gears?  So infinite power?”

The ADL is effectively a speech regulating entity. Speech we all abhor, absolutely, but still speech.

I daily’d a Honda Big Ruckus 250cc to work for years, in temps down to ~15 degrees in Colorado. 1 gallon of gas a week with a 3 gallon tank made for a very cheap commute. Sure, you can get it up to 50 MPH then hit something stationary and kill yourself, but it isn’t a sportbike.

Alternately, keep the Tacoma and add a Miata.

$25K Chevy Bolt

My second LC gets here this week, buddy has an LFA. Yeah they’re not at the same level, obviously. On production count alone — Lexus looks on track to sell ~15-16K LCs total, vs 500 LFAs — you’ll never have an LC go to the moon like the LFAs have. Second gen NSX’s are just under ~2K cars total. I didn’t buy my first…

My advice to all of you: before the LC500 is discontinued, buy one. Get a new one if you can afford it, or a depreciated used one if you can’t. If you can’t afford those, an IS500, RC-F or GS-F will do. But the LC is the best.

Been negotiating / comparing dealers on OTD price for years. Some of them love it because they know how to win it (price) and do. Some of them hate it because they know they won’t be able to nickel and dime you. “Come in let’s talk” is the worst way to get me into your store when I’ve e-mailed to get an OTD price on…

I live in Colorado and found the ride in both to be good enough. I sold the 3 for the Y because I hit my head getting in and out of the 3 a good bit, I had no complaints about the ride.  A friend’s wife didn’t like the ride in her Y so we swapped the suspension, it was a good bit of work and (in my opinion) not worth…

Their wheelbase is less than an inch different now (used to be ~3 inches), the GX has the same engine and factory offroad trims. I’m not sure what the extra $30K base price on the LX is for...the cooler in the armrest? Showing the other mommies in the pickup line that your husband earns more than theirs do?

I’ve owned a Model 3 and a Model Y, now I own a ‘22 Chevy Bolt.

The ES before 2012 was a rebadged Camry. The ES after 2012 is a rebadged Avalon. Both cars known to be very long-term reliable. No offense but your suggestion on this is blatantly ignorant.

Oh god, so many times this. I’m ~$16K into my 1994 convertible example — that I bought for $9500 — that is worth about $12K fully sorted.
