What do you drive???

I’m pretty conservative when it comes to emblems, decals, and…..well, almost everything else.
No kidding? :grin:

Seriously nice truck though.... I have fantasies about getting an old school 4Runner before I give into our electric future...
That’s actually why I traded the one year old (and pretty awesome) Telluride for the Toyota. It seems the current “old school” model will only be produced until maybe June, then will give way to a new new model on a new platform. I didn’t want a turbo 4 cylinder or bells & whistles, I wanted the last of the old style.

If new, see if Discount Tire will give something on a trade in. For mostly street/snow use, check out Yokohama G015 Geolander or Falken Wildpeak. Both would be quieter, more comfy, and have the peak-mountain-snowflake designation, indicating good for severe weather year round.

Thanks for that. I’ll probably run these through the snow and make a change in springtime.

hell yeah bruv. I want an LC500 real badd but it's gonna be a couple of years.
I might end up getting an RC-F instead. A bit more practical but I want another sweet Toyota V8.
Lexus sedans are based.
Those are some killer dream rides. Way too rich for me though.

Did you sell the Genesis?
Yeah, we kind of had to. We LOVE Genesis, but our dealer here totally sucks. We went to buy a new g70 last week and they try to tell us some bs that if we don't buy today they are gonna jack the price up $10k. :monkeypiss: So fuck those guys. Their service absolute sucks. And we aren't driving to Denver just to get shit done. It is unfortunately because we really loved that brand. But without a support system it is was problematic to own.

]Nice! We used to have a GS300. Probably the best road trip car I've ever driven. Comfort and sporty all in one.
Yeah I really liked the GS. And it had a funky style to it. I hope this one serves us well. Thanks dude.

We've had 4 certified pre-owned vehicles in the last 20 years. Highly recommend that route regardless of car brand.
In normal times, I would totally agree. These days though, looking at the typical CPO pricing, it sadly seems to make more sense to order new and wait for delivery. However, it feels like the market is cooling a touch and used/CPO prices will hopefully come back to earth.

We’re pretty mundane. Traded in our 2020 Ford Explorer XLT for a 22 Ford Edge SEL. Smaller but still roomier than a compact, heated seats and steering wheel, wireless apple CarPlay with a huge 12 inch display in the center, 250hp and it does what we need it to do for our driving. Comfy on road trips and no issues so far. Image

Wireless Apple CarPlay is one thing my Tacoma really ought to have.

There are some aftermarket options that plug into the USB port to enable this feature, but Toyota misses the mark by not including it even at the highest trim levels.

I rented a Ford Edge Hybrid last time I was in South Carolina and found it to be a roomy, fairly peppy, little SUV. We drove that thing all over Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, and Isle of Palms and I think I used less than a tank of gas.

I believe you had an Escape if it was a hybrid as they never put a hybrid engine in the Edge and it looks like they never will as it’s being discontinued after 2023.

I heard on the radio this morning that the average (median?) can price is now around $47k. That really surprised me.

Yeah, that is a bit nuts when you think about it.

Of the three big influences on that number, labor costs, material costs, and inflation, I suspect inflation is the most impactful.

As someone said on another forum I frequent, "when everyone has money, no one has money".

Just got this thing for my wife. The amount of electronics in this thing blows me away. Cameras everywhere. Turbo 4 cylinder, 9 speed transmission. Amazingly smooth, and you melt into the seat. The panoramic sun window is awesome.

You’ve got all the bases covered; sports, car for summer days, mama’s, new ride for stylin’ and general comfort, and yours for off-road and bad weather. Win-win-win.
