I need a new car

[Krgrecw]

I'm not a gear head at all. I have about 20k I can spend on a new car/truck. I figure my current 05 Saturn ion with 90k is worth perhaps 1k on a trade in.

What is the best car/truck in that price range? Can't be a stick shift. I'm also 6 foot 7 and about 330 pounds so I'm thinking of getting a truck since I won't have to bend down and such getting in and out of cars. I keep on going back to the cheap Toyota Tacoma truck which fits into that price range. Is there really that much of a difference between cars in that price range or is the difference really the brands?

Thinking of the cheap Tacoma or the new corolla which comes out in a few weeks. Thanks in advance

Prius C or whichever the cheap one is. Fuel efficiency is key in this big oil run world.

If you're going truck, I'd look into the F-150 Eco-Boost. Big truck feel, but gets 24 MPG

You think someone who is 6'7" and 330 should get a Prius?

I was thinking the same thing. I dont even want to be crawling into a prius.

[BlackwaterPark]

I love my Honda Ridgeline.

My brother who's 6'2 fits fine in his Prius. I fit fine into it and I'm 6'3.

Personally, I'd suck up the minor discomfort to double or triple my gas mileage. Now that said for someone my size in a Prius, it doesn't seat 4, cause no one is fitting in behind me. One thing with a lot of those type of cars (my girlfriend drives a Focus which I can fit into pretty easily and comfortably) is the seat goes all the way back, leaving almost no place for someone to sit behind you.

LOL off Zito recommending a Prius to someone that big. Please take his word with a grain of salt. Do not get a ****in Prius.

Yes, I am 6'2" as well, and my mom had a Prius that I spent plenty of time. I fit in there, sure. But I wouldn't equate my size to someone who had 5 inches and 100+ pounds on me. That's like saying I am the same size as someone that is 5'9" and 100 pounds.

krgrecw, for perspective, even my 5'5" mother eventually ditched her Prius because it was too small (not in terms of "can she fit," but how it drives; it can feel like it is getting tossed around in crosswinds sometimes, for example) and didn't feel like she was driving a real car.

Zito, please buy a Prius and take pics for us.

Kgrew, I am 6-3 200. I find the Tacoma a bit small, but manablable for me. I have 2 kids car seats in the back and have to eat the steering wheel though.

Best bet? Finding a used tahoe or yukon or explorer.

We bought my wifes Yukon from a Nissan dealer locally, and they had big incentives for the new altimas. Seemed VERY affordable and well finished for the price. Check them out, but ive never had one.

I LOL'd at the Prius comment. HARD.

Zito's that kid that everyone busts his balls for every opinion and positive helpful advice he tries to give out.

Just look at how he's getting his balls busted in the REAL TALK forum in the Zimmerman thread.

Poor guy, the Sandusky effect must've really taken a toll on him and stuttered his emotional and mental maturation.

What is your wrestling name in WWE/TNA/ROH?

[AerchAngel]

And I thought I was a big person at 6'1" and 245 lbs.

You all have me trumped.

Dayuuuuum.

[The Chosen One]

I THINK he might be Rikishi. Or he might be Prince Albert. Actually, the Undertaker's current out of shape body sounds like it could be that.

Today I discovered that I may be the shortest person here.

X-Division of TNA?

X-Division of TNA?

Growing up, I wanted to be in the WCW Cruiserweight Division watching Mysterio, Ultimo, Malenko (even though he wasn't really a high flyer), Juventud do all of those insane athletic reversals, maneuvers, etc.

The reformed WWE Cruiserweight Division was just skinny short guys wrestling like heavyweights, nothing exciting.

I think TNA has kind of milked the X-Division too much. It used to be something to look forward to, but now they've kinda toned it down a little.

I heart Zito

Also, lease a new car/SUV/Truck....save your savings.
