You think thats bad you should have seen when my wife had her Honda S2000 when we first got together. I had to put my feet on the pedals as I got in because I couldn't move them once I got there. If the top was down I looked over the windshield, always felt like a freaking Shriner in one of those mini Vettes!
Needless to say I didnt ride it much!
Like I mentioned in a different post we just ordered a 2022 Jeep Wrangler as it was a better deal than buying a used overpriced one. When we went to stealerships they had next to nothing new on the lots, used ones were asking 5k over kbb, we looked at a bare bones Jeep gladiator before New Year's Eve, they had a 32k price on it. Went back there a week later and they had a 42,500k price on the same vehicle. Then the salesperson told us that they were actually adding a $5k dealer mark up to that price so out the door it was a $47,500 vehicle before license and registration fees. He said if we ordered one they were doing the same thing. So we left and called around until we found a dealership that said they didn't charge the mark up fee on ordered vehicles and it was just the msrp only price. So we are waiting for our new bare bones wrangler.
Seeing that same thing here. Not all dealerships are doing that but you really have to look around.

Yup, I gave up too. Was going to buy new, but we have ZERO leverage and they know it. Found a used 08 duramax dually with 185K for 13K. Seemed like a great deal. Brought it to my mechanic and we put it on the lift and it looked good. Use it for hauling cattle and brewers grain. So far, so good.....

I wish I had never sold my Toyota 5 speed SR5 extended cab. The back springs were stiff, would fish tale easy and with the small cab I was pretty cramped even with the seat back. It would get 24mpg with the 22R engine and I never had one problem with it. Here it is in the picture. The guy I sold it to his son took to college at UT and it got stolen there.

Myself and one of his neighbors helped old Dun put a new engine in his 1929 (?) Model A pickup. When we were done we took it for a ride and I tried to drive it back to his house. Whenever I had to push the clutch in to change gears, I had to open the driver's door so I could lean my leg out the side. Otherwise, there wasn't enough room between the steering wheel and the clutch pedal for my lower leg.You think thats bad you should have seen when my wife had her Honda S2000 when we first got together.

Yea, I get it out and drive it ever now and then. It just went over 37k miles on its 20 year anniversary.
Ha! Which one of us was on the back for the initial test ride? I can't remember what I did yesterday, much less a few years back!
But I still haven't forgot about the warm antifreeze (hope that's what it was) you guys dumped on me while I was laying under the truck.
Sweet!

I'm not buying any newer vehicles for a while! (probably my life)
Picked this one up last year, 100k miles, needed a bunch of TLC but it drives real nice
This one had a repaint in 2014,needs a little TLC again now, 350,000 miles
My "Play" truck, got some power plans for it, 750-1000 hp, might make it a shortbox
