que gaucho, the maxima got maxed...

personally, i can't really say what i'd get between those two. 6cyl and suv...but i'm already biased since my lara is a 6...


in these bad economic times, you shouldn't necessarily be buying a car...esp if you can still rock the solara.

BUT, conversely, BECAUSE of these bad gas/economic times, trucks and suv's are going for cheap. down here in SA, my dad bought a 08 Dodge Ram quadcad for under $20k.

if you're considering a 6cyl, what kinda car you talking about? also, what kind of downpayment are you looking to make, as well as how big of payments will be made, and for how long? are you talking about buying new or used?

i wouldnt do a pt... those things have a bunch of bad things going on with them.

my friend had one and she needed brakes and rotors every six months!
the brakes are way too small for the weight of that car.

as for cars? i might go venza if u are looking for suv type

yeahh Venza looks like it has a lot of potential. I like the 4runner too. Nothing too crazy or gas guzzling.

Josue, the FX is pretty kickass and along the lines of what you're looking for. I have an FJ Cruiser at the house (Pops') and it's chill as well, but I'd say to do the FJ only if you plan on trailing/wheeling your truck, otherwise the FX is a great choice.


Now, about that kit of yours....:evilbat:
