Completely agree. Love Tacoma’s, my husband had a single cab 05 that I suspected he loved more than he loves me (RIP trusty Tacoma)....adore the color and the rims.....but 17-18 thousand?! Great googly moogly, that's too much for a stock engined Tacoma, no matter how many bitchin' stickers they slap on it.

God, I would HATE living there. I cannot tell you how much I would hate it. I loathe crowds, loathe high rises, hate pretty much everything about urbanscapes. Those prettily lit up skyscrapers would never make up for apartment living, for too many people breathing your air.

Thank you....

Huh. Kinda like the new look, myself.

Beautiful car, love the blue! Judging from the comments I’ve read, I must be the only one that thinks the peanut butter colored interior doesn’t go with the purpley blue.... that, and I find the dash design to be odd.

David, you never fail to surprise me. Love the colorful articles, keep em coming!

Honestly, given the Chinese reputation for spyware on their smartphones, I’d be rather uncomfortable owning and DDing one of their vehicles....who knows what might be in the software of one of their vehicles?

Zyote?! That made me think of zygote....no thank you. 🤢

Word.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, in all of your days.

Are you an engineer, by chance?

I’m sorry David; I hope your ideas or the good suggestions posted here in the comments helps you to solve your dilemma.

No. BRG FTW.

OMG....I just realized that if I owned this car, I WOULD BE THE COOLEST GRANDMA IN TEXAS!! I can see myself now in day care pick up line, in queue to get my grandson, in a car that BELCHES FIRE.  Sure, day after tomorrow he'll only be two months old, but it's never too early to teach a child there's more to life than…

My husband and I prefer to buy $2000 ish vehicles, fix small things and drive them for a good amount of time. We are currently looking for a vehicle now, and have had to adjust our budget up to around 3 grand to almost 5- the used car market is hotter now than a year or two ago, sadly, driving up prices.

Lol.....that was pretty much my thought process too. I don't normally drive manual, have never done a gambler event, but my late mother's property would be a perfect place to take this and have a ball with. Me want!

Shoot....no need for modification IMO. Still a little intrigued by it tho; thank you for the heads up!

I live in a city with a good bit of ghetto in it....still see those around believe it or not. I remember those the first time around, sad to say. Obnoxious show offs with more money than sense owned them....did dig those opera windows though, have to admit.

I love that short story...first read it in first or second grade, was utterly shocked that a man would hunt another human. No shock now, but still find it a compelling tale.

FCA actually does have some style. The Ram trucks in particular have wonderful interiors; I like the colors offered on some of their vehicles and some of the styling cues as well. It’s a real pity their engineering and build quality overall doesn’t come close to matching the attractive outside of their vehicles,…
