    She's gone!

    Sold my HD to Carmax today. Too good an offer to refuse. Selling private party would have only gotten me about 1-2k more. With the possibility of my new truck getting delivered within the next two weeks (after months of searching) it was just way easier to go through Carmax.

    I was a little sad to see her go and will certainly miss the power, but I am pretty excited about the new ride. Already got mods planned for it including a 3"/4" drop, wheels, stereo and tint.

    I'll have pics up as soon as I get it.

    I'm getting a 2007 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner.

    Black Sand Pearl
    4.0 L 245HP
    TRD Big Brake Kit
    TRD Short Shifter
    Toyota Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

    They only make somewhere around 3000 of these a year. I had less than a year left on my HD loan, but selling it and buying this I cut my payments in half and only extend it by a year and a half.

    Plus, I can actually afford to work on it like I wanted to with the HD. It will be my daily driver, unlike the HD and it's a 6-speed manual (which I have really, really missed).

    Here's a pic of the color:

    I'm gonna get some black rims with a chrome lip, most likely. Thinking of the Foose Nitrous II.

    There's a company called Underdog Racing Development that makes a supercharger kit for the 4.0L Tacomas. Very easy to push these near 400HP without upgrading internals.

    I've seen a few time slips of people running high 14s in stock form so it's no slouch.

    As for Love Ride, Kirk...I am hoping to come up for one day and come hang out with the old crew. I hope you have some space for me on the HTSC site. I still talk to Casey (darkroller) and Eric and Viva. Hope you guys will still make time for me.

    As for Carmax...I got 22K for it minus my loan payoff. Completely stock aside from my aftermarket nerf bars and the tonneau.

    Looks like a mini HD. I guess you got your Adrenalin after all.

    What is Toyota vehicle Stability Control?

    What was your mileage for that 22K?
    I hope they gave you super extra credit for perfect condition.

    19,622 when I turned they keys over to them.

    The Federal government has mandated that all automobile manufacturers provide some sort of traction control. VSC from Toyota is just that.

    I'll be driving this thing in excess of 25,000 miles a year, so having traction control will be a plus if I ever need it. After my accident last year and an incident on my recent road trip, I thought it would be a nice security option.

    The funny thing about their offer, they provide their number with a copy of KBB value. They rated it in Good condition. The KBB value they gave me was lower than their offer, but different from what I got when getting info for the truck.

    However, Carmax deals in wholesale pricing and that is probably where they

    Well you beat me to it. I've been thinking of getting rid of mine again and thought about going the Carmax route just to be done with it. That sounds like a good price, hopefully they'll deal as well we me. I just went over 14K miles the week before last. I just don't drive much anymore. Btw, Nov. 10th is my BD and the day I bought my HD back in 2002.

    Good luck with the Toyota.

    Terry, long time no talk! I went looking for you at Fabulous Fords but didn't see you.

    I'm sure Carmax will treat you right, if you do decide on that route.
