Our Cars (dream or actual)

[Matt]

I went out to look at pickup trucks on Monday. I don’t think the sales person though it was funny when I laughed in his face when he showed me the estimated monthly payments. Nor did he find it funny when I called Katie and her laughter could be heard across the showroom floor.

@Matt one of these I hope

[tody]

@AdamJ Surely something like it, or in the F650 category
@Matt Did you take a look at the new Ford Maverick? Heard only good things about it.

[louisbosco]

F150 raptor?? @Matt

[Matt]

Jesus, I would have had a stroke pricing out one of those.

[Matt]

@tody I love them but we need to tow an rv.

[Matt]

@AdamJ we decided to put the truck on hold for a year or two. That’s when we plan on hitting the road again. We’ll start up a truck/trailer account and pay cash when we’re ready. The travel thread will rise again

[Matt]

Found the legitest Subaru shop in Albuquerque and got all kinds of random shit fixed on my Crosstrek in addition to the new ac compressor I so desperately needed. 🥵

And they had tshirts!

[endo]

that's pretty cool

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Matt man that’s a rad shirt! I’ve had loads of Subarus. Recently got out of the “fun car” game though, since all I do is haul stuff and commute. Driving a pickup now.

[WhiskeySandwich]

Integra from long ago and my current truck

[Matt]

Sick truck. My favorite Subaru was my first… ‘07 Legacy. Sold that when I had a work car and always regretted it. I’m itching for the new electric Soltera but we’re saving for a truck.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Matt yeah buddy, I regret selling my first Subie too, an 05 Forester 5speed. Really curious about the solterra and its Toyota cousin. I’m pretty dead set on the next 4Runner tho if the ever reveal the damn thing

[Matt]

I think a saw a teaser pic recently of a white one with red and yellow stripes. Looked fun.

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve had loads of Subarus...

Nice hawkeye! Had a few STI cars over the years too.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Cents-or-Non-Cents heck yeah man! Nice blobber!
That hawkeye was gnarly and a lot of fun. Cosworth built block, Borg Warner EFR 7064 twin-scroll turbo, and a 6 speed from an STi, pushing 400 whp. Hell of a sleeper wagon. I miss it

[WhiskeySandwich]

Here's a few more subies I've had over the years....

@Matt I haven't seen anything official about the next 4runner yet. We thought it'd drop before the Tacoma did - because it's been around longer. 4runner hasn't been updated in twice as long. I expect it'll be sick if it's anything like the new Taco and Tundra/Sequoia. Pretty sure the white with red/yellow strips was the anniversary one of the current body style. We'll see, I'm trying to be patient so I can pay off our Ascent first.
