    The white paint 4 Runners with black kit are so common they may as well be an official CO State vehicle.

    The last year has seen me make some big changes to the stable and after the 335 went away this became my daily. I’ll admit, I love it. I like driving The p-car more but that’s a weekend only thing anymore.


    Oh, and the Kirkland 36 pack of lime/lemon/grapefruit speaking water cans for $8 and $2 premium gas is worth the membership alone Benjamin.

    I agree with the above. Wife scored a hella deal on a 2016 4 series with 22k miles on it and CPO warranty.
    Benny, don't be lazy and be willing to go a few hundred miles to get the car. I know you can score a smokin deal on the VW if you play the email game with them. That worked for me when I bought my 2006 V70R.

    A Rolls-Royce dealer I worked for would buy us pizza from Costco on Saturdays. They are 10 bucks for an enormous pie.

    They are garbage and do bad things to your insides.

    Imma have to disagree. So many Toyota homers there that they hold their value.

    Id say Arizona or some area that doesn't see much snow, is a better place to find a 4WD SUV for a deal.

    That playing dealers off each other only works on new cars.

    Easy as shit to buy a car online these days. KOONS in maryland/DC has great prices. I. Bought a truck from them a year ago. Beat all the Boston dealers a by a longshot.

    Bought online and picked up during a business trip. All of my new cars are bought online, first time I step foot in dealer is for delivery. I usually order them if I want a certain set of options. The truck was perfectly spec'd so I didnt need to order.

    Gotta agree. A dealer in Missouri had the same Toyota SUV as the dealer 2 miles from my house, but for 10k less. So I flew to Missouri and spent a day driving home. Kansas is so lovely.

    Mr. Profane needs the Buick Reagal Tour X, just to set himself apart from the rest of the herd.

    Yeah, boy, if you like to have a party or two that's a great place for quantity deals. Seafood, too.

    Buying a car

    Being from the gulf coast I usually turn my nose up at the seafood you can get here in CO but a buddy of mine has been buying frozen seafood and ya know its pretty fucking good if cooked right. Hard to get fresh fish up in here. If I miss one thing about Texas, it is the food. Holy shit snapper. Holy shit crawfish, holy shit it’s already April.

    Then comes Mray, Jrune, Julry and Argust

    Stop being such a drama queen.

    "Around here" is a bit of a mystery with you but aren't you generally from the metro NYC area? I plugged in my zip and a local dealer in NJ has 7 Alltracks. That's just one dealer.

    You live in an apartment by yourself with some cats and can't afford a car Benny. I wouldn't get into lifestyle comparisons with many other people if I were you.

    Did you run another Subie out of oil? My stepson took over my 02 and I remind him on the daily to check the oil.

    Or did the CVT implode?

    Maybe you should go electric if you can't figure out where to add the oil?

    You know you just buy the tenderloin and have them cut it into monster filets (if it’s not already) and freeze the ones you aren’t eating tonight right? Cheap as fuck for good beef and wrapped properly they keep forever.

    Then again stackin filets in the freezer may not be your thing. PM Digitaldrew for beta.
