    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Or if I am really frugal I can get an FX35 and keep it at the end of the lease for free.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Here is my problem in a nutshell: I buy the CTT, my costs are: $3k for power adders $2k for winter tires & wheels at the end of 3 years I "get" the opporunity to then buy a 9 year old truck for $25k. If it happens to be worth $30k I can keep the difference. If it is worth less than $25k I pay the difference. I buy a Cadillac Escalade. Opt 1: spend no money on power adders and run all seasons. At the end of 36mo I can buy a 9 year old truck for $5k Opt 2: add $7k in power adders and suspension, same result otherwise Last option: Infiniti FX50 At the end of 36mo I can buy a 6 year old truck for $5k or I can buy it out at anytime for my wife to drive

    I just don't like any of my options. Doesn't help that my buddy just bought a brand new GTS Cayenne either.

    Yuk! I don't like the new 4runners at all! Doesn't really matter the era for me, the steering wheel PINS my legs down. Sat in an 09 as well just to see. NO legroom in those things if you have a long shin.

    The TRD 5.7 Supercharger though is appealing...otherwise I wouldn't have gone. Since I was there I thought wth I'll tool a 4runner as they can be had cheap. Poop.

    Just drove a Tundra, 4Runner & an Escalade. Thought maybe a $15k get my by could stretch/delay the inevitable. Not so amusingly the craptastic GM drove BY FAR the best of the lot. The Tundra is a fucking boat. Thought it would at least feel Japanese, but nope.

    License tabs are expired, truck goes up for sale whenever I get it back from the stealership and has to be gone by the eoDec. I do have a stopgap in free form of a 2002 VW Beetle, but that won't last long with car seats...

    Amazing how much cheaper 07 Escalade than 08's. Boo to first year.

    I am just fed up with my options. Figure that a $12,000 truck I can lease for one year and own it for $5k. Then do whatever I want. Or hell lease it for 6mo and sell it for something.

    Be cheaper to put a new block in the already boosted car...
  14. ///M5

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I would buy one without boost and then pay to have it done. And the on GM truck I would spend my time boosting is a 'ladeNot worth the dough to do that.

    Fuck, we have some and my sled is in 1000+ pieces. Still need to find an engine builder I trust to hone the cylinders and press on the crank bearings. That and a welder to weld up a custom W cooler in the back.
