Glad to see it is getting driven and not just tucked away. Website

Same, same, same. Guards red 964 C2. I could have bought one in '09 for half of what they go for now. C5 Z06 was $15k, and an '05 STI has been $15k for the last 6 years or more. I have a sneaking suspicion we will see that crazy market again... Auto manufacturers are in a big ole bubble again, and I don't even feel bad this time. -Dane

Thanks - I hope to keep it for a long time - purchased it with a few nice engine and suspension upgrades, so right now, it's replace worn items as they pop up and enjoy it as much as I can! I hear you on getting in before the bubble starts to grow - I missed out on a 993 C4S which tripled in price in 6 years from when I considered it. I even looked at a couple of lotus Esprits and other collectibles before they started steadily going up again. Have been looking for a convertible 968 - but missed the window on those it seems too. At least now my wife realizes I'm not entirely crazy and listens to me more seriously when I mention an "interesting" car we may want to look at!

The 4Runner looks pristine. I was looking for a 4 runner (one of my all-time favourite SUVs next to the old Land Rover Defender 100) or Xterra in a manual tranny before finding the Element (also manual tranny). I'd love a FJ40, but the blind spot is HUGE - and would likely be the car my son eventually learns to drive on so not a good combination...

I was looking at those very same vehicles, lol. Wanted an Xterra for the 3rd pedal, but was kind of put-off by some things I'd read. Still like those things though, no doubt. Also was looking for an AWD Element with 3 pedals (just got rid of my EP3) but couldn't find much locally. I've always wanted a Toyota truck, but the barrier to entry is very high as you know. I got the overland itch a few years back and this should help get my feet wet. Fortunately I live in a place with lots to see (and photograph) - I already have my little tent in the back, ready to go. Haha. -Dane

I've had it less than 2 weeks, it's old ('04), but I love it sofa-king much. Should have gotten one long ago. I'm just waiting for a snowstorm now, lol. Looks like it will perform well for you. Be sure to share the adventures!
