Has anyone on here ever saved up for a relatively expensive ($10000+) car and bought it outright?
If no, would you?
How did you feel afterwards?
Was it worth it?
Would you do it again?
I would cause loans are how the Jews get you

been saving up for a r32 for a few years now, up to about 8k in total savings. to be honest, I put a bit away every week from paychecks. barely anything, maybe sometimes more and I never think about it or notice it. One day hopefully I can find a simple one that isnt torn up or riced out to the max like I always see.

Ayy if you got 12000 for an Evo V, go for it my neighbor bought his for that much
Whats up /o/.
I'm currently a hasbike and am looking to buy a truck. I want something mid-size and capable offroad but practical. need 4 doors and reasonable room for 4-5 people preferably.
Plan to use it as a little camping/expedition vehicle and something to use whenever I go out and need to bring people along.
Needs:
4 wheel drive
decent offroad aftermarket
preferably a good amount of power
hoping for semi-decent economy but not expecting it
solid reliability
4 doors
something in the sub-20-25k range used.
I've considered pic related (Frontier) because I think they look cool and know they're based on the same frame as the Titan. The VQ motors are a gud. Decent aftermarket. They don't have the Toyota tax but are just as good
Also obviously considering the 1st and 2nd generation Tacomas but the 1st gens were a bit small and the second gens had some issues. Still wouldn't mind one.
Not opposed to a mid-size SUV or even a full size truck if the case could be made. I do prefer the bed of a truck though. Motorcycles, hauling shit, and such.
What say you /o/?

How are you going to fit a motorcycle in a Titan bed?
Exactly what type of offroading do you think you'll be doing? desert racing? rock crawling? tight technical trails at ORV parks? mild DD friendly trails?
>mid-size
>room for 4-5 people
they'd all better be short and skinny

>How are you going to fit a motorcycle in a Titan bed?
Actually a Frontier bed, It's smaller than a Titan.
It's pretty easy, even the short bed has enough room if you leave the tailgate down and leave the rear tire poking out on it while strapped down. Pic related.
>Exactly what type of offroading do you think you'll be doing? desert racing? rock crawling? tight technical trails at ORV parks? mild DD friendly trails?
Hopefully all of the above. I live in Southern California so probably going to be mostly desert and mild rock crawling but i hope to do some traveling and hit MOAB, BC, etc.
I'd like an all around capable truck offroad.

Personally I'd go with the Tacoma, under 25k shouldn't be too hard. The aftermarket cannot be beat and muh reliability.
If you are in fact set on something not having the Toyota tax, then personally I'd go with the Colorado over the Frontier, but that's because of personal shit(looks, MAGA, etc).
You've got the general idea, its just up to your taste/budget at this point.
For what you want, the frontier would be great for.
If you decide at some point you decide you want to do hardcore offroading, then come back with your new parameters.

i don't know why everyone gets all butthurt about the resale value of the tacos
tacomas are good trucks
what's wrong with your car /o/?

>>16835585
Check charging system light will come on, then go away after a few minutes and not come on again for a long time. Then it happens again and keeps coming and going.
How fucked am I? Or is it just a bad sensor triggering it?

>car overheats and dumps all the coolant because of pressure
I'm just going to get a new pump/radiator, do a flush before hand and check the fan relay.
I've taken the car out for a good while and drove on the highway with no issues, only when I'm idle will it overheat, and there is no signs of a gasket blown so that's good.
Is this a good car? Is the newer generation better? What modifications are typical to make it driftable?

As cool as your car might be, no one wants to be jam-packed inside of it
What's the point of having a cool ride if you can't drive your friends around with it?
Explain yourselves /o/

No thanks, I don't want them playing "practical" jokes on me.
Also, they all have cars that they take everywhere.

how do you accidentally slide / drift a car?
first time driving in the snow these last couple days and it's not as exciting as I thought it would be. Couldn't even do mad skids in a parking lot after work because the snow plow was already lurking there.
Most I got was some understeer with my FWD shitbox when I did try to go sonic in one of the inner roads near my work. Can I actually do donuts with a FWD without killing my handbrake?

Nothing new here. Government is completely inept as usual and privatized businesses have to come save the day. It's the same deal when KFC was repairing potholes a few years back. It's a win win for the government, they get to keep our tax dollars and the businesses get to advertise for dirt cheap. You can blame the liberals as usual
Best time-line has some weird glitches.

Well paying off my car this fall and thinking about getting a new bike. Having trouble deciding between a HD Roadster or a Gsx-r100. Help me weigh the pros and cons of both.

Agree, get a rolling piece of trash for 2k instead and spend all your free time working on it.
