After much thought and my succumbing to my usual weaknesses, I've decided to buy myself another vehicle soon-ish.

Unfortunately, it will not be this LC 500.

I kind of have an idea of what it will be... I’m down to about eight real candidates. The odds that it’s another Toyota product is, uhhhhh, quite high, but I likes what I likes. I had long, meandering post about a camping rig, or truck, but what about the longbed, what about the IS, blah blah, what do I do... I have since reached point of clarity and focus.

That said, it will likely require a sacrifice within the existing fleet... I’m not at the point in my life where I can justify having five cars again.

With the house situation (endless project! <3 ), among other life thingies, I can tell you that my only justification for this is: because I wanna! My wife is supportive, so the only hurdles now are finding one worth buying and gathering monies. When I told her my budget, she replied: “You should spend [double] and get something really nice.” What a lady! I’ll be building my funds for it over the next 6-12 months.

I’m excited. And I’ll be sure not to assault you folks with my usual, “TLDR, didn’t buy the car” posts.

Is this because you need a vehicle to serve a different purpose than your current fleet, or is it just a desire for something different? No judgement, just wondering.

Yeah, you give in to weakness all the time, which is why you live such a frivolous extravagant life ;)

I know of the Vibe, the LS and Longbed, what else is currently in your fleet or will it be one of those three that is going? :(

You should try to find a manual 4wd Tercel - I think they could even be had with blue plaid interior!

Depends on the circumstances and price. There's certainly a desire not not let that go.

I am the caretaker of a 2014 Tacoma for work, which I would of course lose access to if I were to change positions or leave the company.

Here’s the story on it:

https://bringatrailer.com/2016/04/05/factory-5th-wheel-package-22k-mile-1981-toyota-dually-19-trailer/

It brought a healthy sum on ebay, and was no doubt worth every penny - you’ll be the hit at many shows.

I can’t see it being the Lexus for as long as you’ve wanted one? :O
