    Nice! Had a gen 1 back in 2011. Loved it but the Ford 6.2L is a lazy pig. Imagine the hipo ecoboost is much better. You look for potholes and curbs to hit at speed in those things.

      My daily GX470. Originally wanted a 4runner 4th gen, but these GX470s were surprisingly cheaper for similar condition in my area. It now has a 2" lift and am looking for a daily for my daily due to MPG.

          Too lazy to post pics, but kind of on a whim got a 2007 Tacoma Xrunner with 39k miles off BAT about 2.5 years ago, Red over gray. For those unfamiliar, Toyota had no sports car then, their design point was to pull more g's than a Nissan 350z, and they achieved it. 4L v6 6MT. Lowered, bilsteins, extra frame bracing out of the factory. Not going to pull your hat off, but low end torque is pretty crazy, pulls from 1000 rpm! It is a hoot to drive. In mid to high speed curves, it predictably drifts all 4 wheels as you lose grip, versus the rear stepping out like you might expect. Understeers at tighter 20mph type curves but bushing are pretty rubbery and ... it is a truck end of day!

            Blue is the fastest and best! Mine normally sits outside but one time I did kick the wife's Acura out for a week after I washed it.

                MYLR was delivered 11/5, and I've put 700ish miles on it. Wife & I share it, but we both work from home.

                On the rare occasion we both are out and about, I have a '19 STI (forgive the shitty photos, best I have at hand) that used to be my daily pre-COVID. I think that's about to be replaced...I'll update once I have the new car

                  Who makes those cabinets? The lighter colors as another member said look fantastic. So many garages are dark spaces and look fantastic. But there is nothing better than a well lit garage for working.

                        Hell yeah! Performance Blue is the best color. I tried to make a deal on one just like yours but used prices have gotten out of hand on those Gen 2s. Pushed me over the edge to buy a new one. Btw, I am in Sugar Grove. Not too far away!

                          Haha! The ecoboost is pretty solid, especially with the 10 speed trans. And yea, totally opposite experience from driving the M3. The worse the road the better!

                            Shockingly reasonably priced too.

                              Yeah I agree with that! Fairly reasonable.

                                LeMans Blue M Sport 335d with Fox Red M3 interior. 380 whp, 570 wtq and averages 33-35 mpg. Insanely reliable too, only spent a couple hundred bucks in repairs over the 38k miles. I put about 1000 miles a week on this thing and it drives perfectly. Really fun to drive too, great handling and mannerisms.

                                Also have an Orient Blue E39 530i I'm using as my other beater.
