Is that your truck?

If so we’re twinzies.

Yes, sir. 

Like I said before, got the ///M and the Tacoma, just need the tractor! =)

Ahhhh yes.

Sorry been working night shift and things are a bit foggy.

That’s a great color. Apparently they hold their value better when they’re a unique or hero color. I was too chicken to get anything other than black. Plus the wife and I have a black Toyota family uniform now.

Thanks - I love it. Have my wife to thank: I was initially going for the bright blue, but then realized Cement was available; showed her both and she preferred the gray. Definitely the smarter choice with our gravel drive, too!

We’re pretty boring, too... currently have silver, silver & gray. Soon replacing  her silver MDX with a silver Telluride. LOL

Nice! My son wanted bright blue. I left tonight with him trying to figure out how to play GT Sport. If he figures out how to buy cars in game they’ll all be blue colored.

The Telluride is a far superior vehicle than I ever thought I’d see from Korea. Must have been how my grandpa thought about Japanese cars at one point in his life?

He has good taste! If there’s an M2 or Cayman S in my future, there’s a very good chance it will be bright blue.

It is shocking how far they’ve come so quickly. We plan to own it 8 years and 200k miles, so hopefully it proves to be reliable ! I’m breaking my own rule buying a first model year car, but Mrs. addiction was ready, and this one was the one that checked all the boxes. All the awards and  praise it’s been getting definitely didn’t hurt its case...

I’d be very happy with a LSB E46 M3 or a baby blue 911. Even the bright blue they had on 2012-ish Mustangs was cool.

Funny. Our wives must talk. Mine was surprisingly supportive. I think as soon as I told her I didn’t want a $60k truck she was all about it!

A glimpse into my future! Here’s to hoping I can find one of the fun colors (cement, dark green, desert) in a few years. Holding the garage constant is proving to be H A R D

LSB is classic and it’s hard not to stare at Grabber Blue Mustangs , but I’m more of a metallic than flat blue fan. Sapphire Blue is my jam.

My wife hates driving my truck, but she didn’t object once I decided that’s what I wanted (once again, the Swiss Army Knife of vehicles). And mine was only $32.5k! =)

It’s just a good, honest, small-ish truck. Doesn’t hurt that it looks great!

Plan is to keep the truck in the family for like 15 years. Got a Telluride on the way for Mrs. addiction, and we’ll probably keep it for around 8 years. No plans for the M3 to go anywhere, but would like to add something fun and light in a few years. Having another driver in the house 3 years from now will also need to be figured into the equation.

Off topic: I listened to a recent Smoking Tire podcast and Matt and Carlos Lago were talking about just how good the motor in the new Miata is (with the higher redline). Going to have to have one, eventually. Wish Mazda/Toyota/Subaru would team up and put that motor in the 86/BRZ... Hopefully the upcoming 86's engine will be a little more engaging.

Makes a lot of sense, I think our future garage plans revolve around an addition as well - hard to let go of anything just yet!

We really enjoyed our short time in a 2017 RF, my wife still talks about it weekly . The improvements in 2019 only solidify our resolve to pick one up again soon. Sadly the fourth car budget is nowhere near newish car territory...yet.

I will also add I liked the Miata more than my FR-S that I had for 55K miles. We would give a close look to the FRS/BRZ again given the back seat, big hopes for the new motor/gearbox.
