i like the way eyedoc things. except, i plan on keeping my 06. at this point, i have no plans on getting anything new. i don't see the point as long as the tacoma is runing strong and not breaking down.

those are like 80k aren't they?

I would go for something used like that, but the local GM dealer can service the vette if need be. I had a BMW 540 and that thing was expensive to work on... i can't even imagine the Porsche!!!

My truck is 2.5 years old now, and I'll probably keep it another 8+ years. New vehicles are tempting, but it's just an unbelievable waste of money. Whenever I just think about how much I'd lose on a trade, I stop right there.

I can walk out with one for $60. And yeah, they're expensive to maintain. But need a weekend car to take the gf out in

I'm not sure what my next vehicle will be. I've considered trading in the Tacoma for a new Tundra Double Cab, but don't want to have much more of a payment than I have now and I don't think I can get that good of a deal on the Tundra. I may just keep the Tacoma until it's paid off (another 2.5 years) and then look into getting a used sports car to drive around in the summer. I really miss my old G35 coupe 6 speed.
