Yeah, when you're young you have the answer/excuse for everything, and you have the world in your back pocket but can only afford to carry a little bit of money in the front; I was young once.

Even though I find this thread ridiculous and reading it keeps sickening me, I'll contribute one time.

- Right now there is a Blitz Supercharger for sale in Edmonton.
- Eventually you WILL find some fogs.

So for an investment of ~$2,000 you will have the power you desire, the fogs you so passionately find important, and still retain your dad's dream car.

I can’t cite the source but I like this quote. Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment.

I wish that I had listened to the experience of my elders when I was your age. Instead I went to the school of hard knocks.

Doing great now as I live on the money I made in the past, not on todays or tomorrows money.

Sometimes your parents will warn you not to touch the stove because it's hot. That's from experience, maybe. But if you have the bad judgement to touch the stove despite the warning; creating that experience is not such a positive thing. . . it's more like you're just experiencing your own STUPIDITY. If wise people warn you not to jump off a cliff, you'd just be an idiot to jump off anyway. But that's why so many people die young. . .

LOL..... Like the old saying goes "It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young".

What most young people fail to understand is, the older people were young once also and they had the exact same attitued when they were young.
The older people are just trying to give them the benefit of their 20-20 hind sight.

Hey, when I was young, I thought I knew everything also.
However, I had the benefit of wise parents who laid down the law and raised me with a sense of responsibility and sensibility that I have been very greatfull for all my life.

Honestly I think you should do whatever you wanna do. Get the mustang if that's really what you wanna do.

Or don't.

Point is, don't listen to all these other knuckleheads. It seems silly to me that other people would care so much about decisions you plan or don't plan to make. Whether those decisions are wise or not shouldn't really matter all that much to anyone but you. It is your life after all.


EDIT: But I am still curious as to how a Tacoma could be 40k.

Funny you should say that.
If knuckleheaded opinions don't matter, why does he keep asking for the advice of others to help him decide? Guess he's on his own from now on?

^ this concept always amazes me. . . people post pics, opinions, and all sorts of garbage on a PUBLIC ONLINE FORUM, and expect the entire world to agree with them. . . or totally ignore things they didn't want to hear.

Yeah that's pretty much how people work. Most of the time they are looking for reassurance, not necessarily advice. It's not that crazy of a concept.

Also about the "knuckleheads" comment, I assumed by using such a benign word everyone would know that I'm mostly kidding. Everyone who's posted in here has had valid points. Most of which the OP should probably take under consideration. But at the same time if he doesn't like the yaris then he doesn't like the yaris. I feel that way myself some days.

I think this little sign (found pinned to a tree in Australia) should be my last entry in this thread. Sums it all up for me...

[djct_watt]

The INTERNET is not a place of reassurance. To assume so is to assume incorrectly. It's no crazier than going to a police station for advice on how to kill a cop.

How is that comparison rellevant? Lol watt never ceases to amaze me.

And lol that photo was hilarious

Glad you found the photo funny, Kevin, coz I really was not trying to be anything but funny.
I guess I can understand both sides of the argument here (the "Why doesn't he follow the advice he was given when he asked" and the "Do what YOU want to do because ultimately you are only trying to please yourself.")
It's a tough choice, especially if you don't hear what you were hoping for, or if the advice is to do nothing. I will commend you for losing it and falling back on insults. Too many people do that, and it really doesn't solve anything much.
So, enjoy the pic (which is why I took the photo in the first place) and have fun with trying to figure out the car thing.

That logo is pretty mesmerizing. Other than that I don't know much about fogs. Good luck with them though. I always wished fogs had come with my sedan too when I still had it.

Kinda glad you didn't get a mustang because every time someone buys a mustang a fairy dies. It's true.

O rly?

[djct_watt]

It was a response to frownonfun; relevant as a analogy to seeking only sympathetic advice and reassurance on the Internet. Let me spell it out for anyone who can't follow... If you go to a police station for advice on how to kill a cop, not only will you not get any, they'll probably beat you silly. If someone were seeking that information, they should try someone like their mommy who will cradle them and tell them they are special and that everything will be alright. This scenario applying to someone with those assumptions, should they have them. Because expecting the world to agree with you is pretty juvenile.
