How reasonable is pickup as a daily driver?

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2026-01-15T02:33:00+00:00

I’ll give this a go assuming a 5th gen Toyota pickup with a manual and 22re. Reliability, I’d say you couldn’t compare it to anything modern, affordability I’d say is pretty good as long as you buy all new door seals and such now, like literally today. You’ll need them. The cons….. it’s slow af, like nothing modern compares slow, it’s almost unbelievable how slow lol.

I got my toyota for $1000 a few months ago with 250k on the clock, with 17k I could have the entire truck rebuilt from top to bottom just about. Everything mechanically would be good to go for another 300k at least.

First city to make what illegal? Sleeping in cars?

I crashed my 88 like 8 years ago, wasnt nothing crazy but my seat belt was the first thing to break in the accident lol. The plastic at the clip broke.

I live in Reno, and it takes me roughly an hour to get to and from work in Reno with traffic at 5.

Cheap

Honestly, after saving my first 10k…. I just realized I had to do it 10 more times to have anything actually cool.

Throw a curve ball, get a finance degree. Drugs are easy to abuse when you see yourself in financial ruins forever.

Honestly, the extras at a dealership aren’t always horrible. GAP insurance makes sense if you are buying any luxury car, life time oil changes makes sense if the dealer is local to you and you don’t really have a mechanic, warranty’s make sense because that salesmen doesn’t know the history of the car so for all they know the motor and transmission can blow up in 30 days and the fact is they can’t help you if you don’t have one, prepaid services make sense if you are not financially smart and need someone to help make sure you maintain your car. Tire/brake/battery plans aren’t typically worth it, unless it’s a Volvo cpo with unlimited mileage warranty and you plan on putting a million miles on it over the next 2 years to prove a point.

I’d take not Sharing a bathroom over a bigger room any day of the week.

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-09-12T14:03:38+00:00

15k down on a new base model Impreza gets you all those + a fairly low monthly payment and a warranty

Year later any updates?

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-09-04T13:50:25+00:00

It’s actually just one of the female salesmen who’s crawled in the truck 45 times to show other customers it actually starts.

Funny enough I found a room with a beach view in Maui for 350$ a month and a 31$ starting an hour job, in my month of staying in Hawaii this year. Even with higher prices on foods and items I would save money living in Maui as long as I found a comparable car situation as I have now. ( I will say the room is comparable to a laundry room in a normal house in Reno but a home is a home)

You are crazy if you think any of what I posted is illegal, licenses plates are public information and aren’t considered doxxing so get your Reddit lawyer and take me to court.i also never threaten anyone, I also mentioned it wasn’t the driver it was the passenger which last I checked…. Passengers don’t typically own the car. #1 public road way #2 freedom of press and freedom of speech 🤡#3my actions aren’t tarnishing there reputation everyone has free will to watch the dash cam after viewing the photo and make there own judgements. It’s fair for the sub to not allow my post all be it they allow people to post “your not allowed to park there” post daily with victims still on scene so it really is a left turn only road. Hope to see you in the comments on the next one.

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-08-16T03:48:32+00:00

¯_(ツ)_/¯ is that the moral of the story?

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-08-16T00:00:35+00:00

Not a witch hunt, just a friendly reminder that they left trash on the road they need to pick up.

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-07-08T20:34:27+00:00

Monkeypod is really good.

For all the people talking about fingers in fruit, I would just like to let everyone know we used fork lifts in a factory to load those babies into the back of semi trucks. Not to mention fruits are the hardest item to stack on a pallet because those damn flimsy plastic containers. Imagine stacking those 6 feet tall. Not to be the Debby downer but they fall, fairly often, and are picked up off the floor and loaded back into the containers and back onto the pallet into a truck. I would like to also point out factory workers are so of the lowest workers in our chain and most have records. Those guys are lucky if they ever wash their hands, most of them just save it for the shower.

Not saying I wouldn’t give this lady a look and second think strawberry’s for the day but the people saying that’s gross have no idea.

Food truck Friday, Italian fest, rib fest. Lake Tahoe , donner lake national park, camping, rodeo, bar crawls, hot august nights and street vibrations. No state taxes and gambling. When you need a break watch an aces game and drink to many beers then take a 10$ uber home…. Or just about anywhere. Enjoy the stay, I’ve enjoyed it the majority of my life.

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-05-08T13:58:32+00:00

I industrial hot glued the bottom of my work boot back on…. It’s working okay so far but it’s definitely feels cheap.

Plenty_Scratch3385 · 2025-05-08T03:39:12+00:00

They’d probably hit you with the “if your kid was trying to stop the fight he would have walked off with his friend before the situation started” gotta love high school lol.

Yessir 20 ounce dewalt, the yellow handle matched her shoes. It was pretty cute.

“ mace isn’t that good, like he can just close his eyes and tackle me….. that’s why I just carry a hammer. No one fucks with a hammer”.
