Hello /o/
Here's my situation. I am able to take a loan out on my 401k in 2 months. I can borrow up to half, but only need 5 grand. No interest, no tax, yada yada. Here's my issue:
I can choose between a 90s era Honda Acty, or similar minitruck imported from Japan, or your standard run of the mill American truck, such as a Ford, Nissan, whatever. Either one fits my needs.
1. How likely is it that this Honda Acty will retain its value? It is a 1990 4 speed manual, 660cc or something.
2. Would I be retarded to pass up a 2005 truck for the same price as this rare gem?
3. Is there something else I should be looking for in the way of rare trucks for around 5k? I want a toy truck that says 'I spent too much money on this shitty old thing but fuck, am I happy.'

You caught me. I've read ippo up to the latest chapter, complain about people who only watch or read mainstream anime/manga, and have made my wife wear shimapan.
Regardless, still looking for advice.

Why do I need 200-250 more horsepower then the 40 or less horsepower Acty? Why do I need a run of the mill truck? Pls repond

My advice is to buy an F-150 as soon as possible before your balls disappear completely.

>then the 40 or less horsepower Acty?
i drive a 60hp 8v honda civic and i don't think i could really see driving anything much slower in the united states.

Too late. You're a lost cause

In all fairness, this thing probably weighs half of what your civic or whatever does.

Shiggy diggy

I pay the interest to myself, and I've actually saved money because of the shitty market on my last loan.
ITW da shit, man.

>>14765863
>weighs half
absolutely fucking terrifying
would not even consider being used on an american interstate
my car is blown all over the road at 65mph+ from wind at 2100lbs
add the fact that the truck is going to have poor suspension geometry and terrible aerodynamics, its just unsafe to be on a highway.
imagine getting fucking plowed by a semi truck because your little weeaboo pickup couldn't pull onto the highway quick enough
>meanwhile, any modern truck with any normal engine can cruise comfortably at 80mph+ with plenty of torque to accelerate

Why not get a 70s Jap truck like a Datsun 620 or something? You could weeb it the fuck out but still have something you can drive on a freeway or carry shit with.
>>
>>14766006
But has a real Japanese man ever farted in the seat? Have they? Exactly. Fuck off with your weak shit.
Actually that's a decent idea. Any other popular models I should keep an eye out for?
>>
>>14766020
Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Isuzu all had small pickups in the 70s, you're probably best off with a Toyota or Datsun. The earlier Datsun 520/521 is even weebier than the 620, throw some fender mirrors on it and it looks like something out of a Lupin III episode. I'm sure you can pay a Japanese guy to fart in it for you.

One thing I don't get, why would I drive something this precious on the highway? This truck wouldn't leave the Tampa Bay area, and there isn't anywhere you can't get minus Sarasota on a 45 mile an hour road.
