Giving the pos back to my dad since he got it for me, and I get to go car shopping tomorrow. :thumbup:

 

what kind of car you looking for?

 

My car is 4 years old too. I intend to keep it til I die.

i guess you get bored easy :dunno:

 

I've said this a couple of times, but I'm looking at getting a toyota pick up truck or something. Either a Toyota Tacoma 4 door TRD off road, or a Tundra TRD Off road. I'll test drive both and see which I like more.

 

You'll like the Tundra's ride better, but overall I think the Tacoma is a better truck if you don't need V-8 towing power. Plus you can get a 5-speed manual for the V-6 in the Tacoma (although admittedly you can in the Tundra too for the V-6, but it's slow.)

 

:werd: I never get bored with cars either.

 

oh yeah i remember now. yeah the next car i'm going to buy I want like a chevy blazer or some sort of SUV type

 

I've had that car since my sophmore year of highschool, yes I am tired of it and bored of it. Remember I graduated in 2001 so I've had the car since 98. I've had other cars in between but this one is just :eh:

 

Have you test drove these two vehicles? It sounds like you know what your talking about. I don't really need the v8 power but it's fun just having it. If I do get a Toyota Tundra v8 I will be taking that baby off road, even if I do get a toyota tacoma I'll still be doing the same. I'm looking forward to test driving both vehicles.

 

The 3.4 V-6 (190HP) has plenty of grunt for the Tacoma with an automatic or 5-speed. The 5-speed is on the wild and hairy edge of being downright fun. Tacoma's ride is a bit stiffer than the Tundra's when it comes with the TRD package, but not unliveable by any means.

Only complaint I had with the Tacoma was, surprisngly, the headroom was a bit skimpy. Never fear, I'm 6'5...you probably won't have that problem.

The Tundra's price racks up quickly and I really don't think it's worth the money in this case. It has a nicer interior and is a lot roomier but who cares. Yes, the 4.7 liter i-Force (245HP) V-8 is a sweet engine, but you'll pay at least $27,000 for it. And they're in demand, so expect little negotiating leeway. Don't get the 3.4 V-6 in the Tundra, you'll regret it.
