So I’ve admitted to myself that I’d hate life if my car was an automatic SUV, no matter how much I try to talk myself into it.
I can’t seem to find a reason not to look into something like a slightly used Tacoma.
Tacoma’s are pretty much indestructable. The 4 cylinder’s 160hp/180tq but 22/28mpg. Perfect for a DD mini-truck. Useful as all hell. I enjoy driving trucks. I still miss my old F150, the piece of shit that it was. I’d probably even take this out to an autocross. It’d probably be a lot of fun to toss a mini truck around.
Tomorrow I’ll probably have forgotten all about the Tacoma and be set on a Legacy wagon being the perfect vehicle. The next day might be a Matrix XRS, then Friday an Explorer. 
And so it goes…
Thanks for humoring my essentially pointless thread. Some interesting viewpoints/wisdom. :tup:
