The size of these tires are much more appropriate looking for the truck. Fills the wheel wells better

Nice 4th gen. How are you liking it so far? I’ve always had a soft spot for these. I find the 5th gen too big and ponderous, this is a little more my style.

I'm a third gen man, they were so cool when I was in high school :lolol:

I dated a girl in college with one of these 4th gens but it wasn't V8 equipped :flaccid: THey were brand new then though.

Thanks. I love it. The seating position in Toyota trucks is not great and this one is no different. Other than that, I'm a fan. I'm amazed how smoothly the engine runs. It's got enough things wrong with it that it'll keep me busy tinkering but nothing major to break the bank. Perfect sweet spot for me right now. :chefkiss

Ha. My uncle had one of those. I always thought it rode, handled, and sounded like a dump truck.

While I think this is one of the most hideous cars on the planet. I can’t deny the obvious fun factor especially with that roof. I just wouldn’t be caught dead in one yet it’s a shame since they look to be a ton of fun. Arguably the most fun per $ spent in the enthusiast field

I personally think it's very riced out appearance wise, but it has a sense of occasion to the drive for sure

That is the coolest Fiat 500 I have ever seen and likely ever will.

Yeah, I have long taken this position with both these and Miatas, but I can't deny I would enjoy my time behind the wheel in that thing.

I realize I posted this in the wrong thread. My friend who is selling the car is 5'5, however two of my other friends squeezed in together at one time, and they're both 6'2 260+. It was a sight to see.

My buddy Maxx who you have met is like 6'5" or so, he rented this 500 :manuel: 'vert on Turo at my wedding. We actually sent him to pick up our flowers and some of the other dudes rode with him, they had four adult males all 6'+ in the 500, it was quite a funny sight indeed.

It is clean. It is also slower than erosion. Also how somebody managed to drive 30 years on the poverty steelies is inpressive dedication to blandness.

I am a bit more impressed by the lack of taco tuesday AYCE accident stains on the seats and lack of dog S stains on the carpets.

Agreed, the interior is time capsule grade.

Honestly I am stunned by that paint. I almost never see a pre 2000 toyota without peeled to shit paint. Low key thinking about throwing that on BAT

Some of them go for money money... but they have to have under 100k miles which is very :ironic: for a Toyota... I suppose hence the value.
