Getting rid of the Solara...

[JamesT]

Get an evo or something similar.

They have AWD and are a bit more practical (the wrangler has no storage space and the interior isn't exactly spacious).

I wouldn't buy a 4x4 just because you're moving to Denver. If you do a lot of off-roading now, then maybe, but if you don't, then you might not do a lot of off-roading out there. As far as snow goes, they send out those vehicles that clear up the streets of snow when ever it drops and most of the time, the snow on the road usually melts in two days anyway since Colorado weather is so random. There's only maybe that 1 week a year where it just pours and you're f*cked. Like I was in this Celica. Anyways, I love Colorado and got around just fine in Lil Araceli. Sorry 'bout your car, but you're still blessed to have $25 g's for a car budget, and that you don't have to hold your own alone. Though if you did, then what's yours wouldn't be taken like your dad did you.

I want 4x4 becuase i plan to do alot of offroading, i have cousins who live there who go all the time, one with a Tacoma, the other with a grand cherokee.

If it werent for my girlfriend id get an STI

Heres the Taco:

So last night i went and looked at: FJ Cruiser, Tundra, and the F150.

Now i figured out i cant afford a new F150, but the inside of those are HUGE.

I love the FJ, but the backseat is tiny, but the front feels like your in a MUCH bigger truck than you are.

and i did some reasearch, and found they make some pretty cool tents for the FJ, i want to live my summer up in wisconsin, and i could just live out of this tent!

u could always get another solara?

Those FJ cruiser is a very good choice, I think they have a TRD supercharger available along with many other aftermarket parts.

They don't even cost that much to begin with.

ya but after some breif research, i think the 2010 isnt compatible with the supercharger, not sure though, thats just what one guy said on the FJ forums.

The guy at Toyota understands my situation and is truly trying to help make it affordable for buying new, also found out i get discounts on Toyota's because of the company i work for

and idk how much it would help but were good friends with the service manager, so hopefully he could pull some strings

You could go with the older used FJ models.

There is a horsepower difference though between the newest ones and the older ones, the 2010 has 19 more horsepower than the previous year models.

The supercharger makes it all the sweeter but it is not a necessary item in order to make a FJ more fun.

You can choose the FJ with a 6 speed manual transmission, its funner to drive than auto.

that would be very difficult to find, im more shopping for a good deal, im fine with auto only because its a truck, otherwise id say manual only.

but i wont have the cash to buy a supercharger anyways, so ill just go for the 2010 for the additional 19 HP and 1 extra MPG

[DriDed]

Why would it be difficult to find a manual FJ?

Since your 2 SUV are autos, I thought a manual would be a nice change.

Auto is still good though, is the one in the FJ tiptronic?

I dont think it comes in tiptronic, but i didn't analyze it when i looked at it.

and its difficult enough believe it or not to find a 4x4, the Ford dealership only had 2 4x4's on the lot when i looked, and thats including all of their SUV's

If your g/f truely loves you, she wouldn't mind if you drive a geo.

[99BlackSandv6]

Wrong. If his gf loves him she will definitely not let him drive a Geo.
Seriously, friends don't let friends drive Geos.

[wkbrdr91]

she just dosent like low cars lol, has nothing to do with not loving me if i didnt buy a truck lol

luckily i switch cars every week, and the other car i drive (2008 Nissan Pathfinder) is her (realistic) dream car haha (not too big, not too small, very fast, tons of interior room, good looking, decent gas mileage, etc)

[99BlackSandv6]

So is the Pathfinder 2 wheel drive then?
