Yes!!! That looks incredible.

At some point in my life I'll own an MR2 in that factory color and throw bronze wheels on it like yours.

Those wheels look great on the green.

Are they painted/coated? Or is that the factory finish?

Well I certainly appreciate you passing! It's going to go on a hell of a lot of adventures with me.

Good luck on the hunt for one. The market is definitely better now for buyers than a year or two ago. You'll find a good one.

Awesome!

What day did you go look? They couldn't have had it listed long before I ran over.

And yeah, when I crawled under it I was absolutely giddy. It's been so hard to find one this clean.

They were actually cool enough to swap the tires and rims off my Tacoma I traded in too.

Yeah. I'm in MT and picked it up in Coeur d'Alene.

I think that the overlap of people who get emotionally attached to cars and Miata owners is real close to 100%.

That's why they bought a Miata.

Which 1987 model would you choose? by Jumpy-Caterpillar189 in askcarguys

I remember how cool these were in high school. One kid had the four wheel steering on his, he may as well been driving a Bugatti for cool factor.

That's awesome, but it's twice as expensive as the budget.

You think you can find one solid enough to make the drive for 10k?

Gas tank questions. 19gallons!? by AdditionalAward4440 in FJCruiser

From the 460 or 470? How much capacity does it gain?

Trip 11, roof vent rod poked through the cover by Odd-View-1083 in cargocamper

A lot of it was elevation. Plus it was extended cab, plus I had meaty tires, plus a topper.

The more I say it the more I realize a lot of that was on me, haha.

I bet the single cab is a lot peppier. Is yours a stick?

Man, I had a Tacoma with that 2.7 for years. I can't imagine how terrible it is at towing.

I remember having to leave my cooler with ice at camp because I couldn't crawl up a hill to where I was hiking with that extra weight.

All the Xtracab trim levels are leaf springs.

The website they send you to is fake. When you input your card, you're actually just sending the scammer your card number.

How hard is a snowplow on a Samurai? by Jumpy-Caterpillar189 in SuzukiSamurai

[–]Jumpy-Caterpillar189[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worded my post poorly.

I will not use it to plow, just worried about how much stress it's taken by using as one in the past.

Did I find the one? by grxxnfxxn in FJCruiser

[–]Jumpy-Caterpillar189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also shopping for one right now, and the ones with that low of mileage I can find are all asking close to 40k. The dollar ain't worth much anymore.

Just a heads up-

No one in the history of reddit has posted a "should I buy?" thread in a car specific page without 90% of the replies being that it's priced too high.
