Titan = Tundra
Frontier = Tacoma
we talking width?
And yes- line up generational F-150's and its kind of funny, the current F-150 is about a 250 and sometimes (depending on year) 350 size.

IMO used Nissan Frontier or Titan - both are getting new generations soon (Titan first) and should drive down used costs some- same with the Tacoma however. Trucks now days seem to actually have a healthy used market and thus are actually higher cost- finding a decent used truck that is not to costly for its age/miles can be difficult sometimes.
You can import anything 25 years or older without having to jump through any of those hoops. Everything you listed is for newer cars.

Automakers have been trying to phase out manuals for years, there's still just enough of us left to keep them from doing it. I miss the glory days, when this country was obsessed with speed.
Recent generations don't seem to give a shit about cars or even cruise anymore, it breaks my heart.

I never understood the obsession with cars. Its a fucking appliance, do I need to be excited about my toaster?

How many toasters give you freedom? Do you sit at the toaster using it for hours a week or sometimes hours a day?

So if a car gives you freedom, what does being obsessed with a car give you? And why is the freedom any different on a shittier car than a fancier one? The freedom to go wherever is the same so why be obsessed over it?

JFC you are miserable. What does obsession have to do with basic choices? I'm not 'obsessed' with sunglasses but I need them and I made a conscious decision to choose ones that are functional and look cool instead of just 'the cheapest shit'.
Unlike a lot of my friends I am very 'distanced' from my cars but I still get enjoyment out of them and put significant value in aspects that other drivers don't care about (or may buy but never use). You're not even worth explaining the obvious reasons why a new touring sports car is more engaging to drive and safer than a 20 year old shitbox, it's up to the individual to put a price on everything in life. Doesn't mean it's 'obsession'.

Also I'm pretty fucking excited about my toaster because it cost $15 and toasts bagels better than the expensive one it replaced. Am I obsessed?

According to you, the only two potential states of being are not giving a shit and obsession.

You also have issues reading like Palum does? Here let me explain it for the clearly mentally deficient:
Hekokat said that it breaks his heart that people dont seem to give a shit about cars anymore and that he misses the days when the country was obsessed with speed. I asked why anyone needs to be obsessed with what amounts to be an appliance.
And now you two butt pirates appear to be mad about something. Its like i've been transported to a seat on a short bus and the two of you are sitting next to me.

Just ignore wormie, I'm fairly certain the dude only posts to stir up shit. Much like the house buying thread. Cut the shit man. Why are you even compelled to post in a thread that you obviously don't care about?

Justboughta Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD. Never thought I'd buy a Cadillac but after test driving the Audi A4 (I couldn't get the sign-off for a S4 from the Mrs. since she's never had that type of power before *sigh* and it wasn't comfortable for her; the power is equal to the other competitors driven, women make no sense sometimes), a 335i, and a left-over Merc C350, it was apparent the Germans are being equalled by their American counters. All were priced very similar to the ATS, so price wasn't really a factor. The ride, comfort, quality (out of an American brand, wow), and performance of the Germans were beaten by the ATS, which is baffling. I looked online at numerous reviews, and most reviewers said pretty much all the same. Slightly slower than the 335i, but severely outhandles it. Technology-wise, it has more features than the rest (the HUD is such a small thing, but I don't think I could have a car wthout it now). Only downside is the CUE system is, so-so (not as inuitive, slightly slower performance wise; it did not lack features thanfully). The iDrive system was amazing, but they've also had 10+ years to perfect it.
I am just in shock that out of all german comparables, the ATS (in my opinion) was the best over-all.. From a damn domestic brand... I wish they still made the G-series Infinitis, still the best performance small sedan car I've ever owned. The Q is NOT the replacement by any stretch.
