Every car or truck has something unique about it.
The fit and finish, the awsum performance and handling, CR's high reliability rating, the convertable top, the wifey being crazy about it, and the OTD price of $29K sold me on our S2000. First choice was a $72K Z06, but too pricey, but the goal is to get one still in Honolulu Clearcoat Blue.

Neighbor pulled up in his Ford PU,, and the interior fit and finish is lite years ahead of my GMC's, though the 8.1 and Allison and big back seat, Tow / Haul mode and long time good results in the past sold me on the GM.
I miss front and rear posi 4 x 4 that Ford used to offer, it was tits.
What stood out that made you buy a particular car or truck that you are really happy with?:

The color sold the truck. Took the old ford exp in for some service and then walked around and found the truck F250 SD.

Styling, performance, room, ride, and rear wheel drive, a very nice package for a drive out of $33K. So far, worth every cent. I only wish it was available with a 6 speed.

She could not believe it. I started off by showing a key I found at work, which they use the electronic key so she was puzzled :rolleyes: then say the emblem and was in shock :cool: Needless to say she had a awesome BD :cool:

OK, I guess I'll be the first to say that I bought my truck because it was cheap.
...and the boat was even cheaper.

My last F-150 went 190k miles without a problem. The only thing I ever had to replace was an alternator and battery. Big towing capacity for a 1/2 ton.

Love my 93 full size Blazer... two doors is just fine with me, and it knocks down close to 20 mpg if I stay out of the gas on the highway. Pulls the Eliminator no problems, and the back seat folds almost flat so I've got a place to crash at the lake if I don't take the M/H...
Not really a new car guy, but the new Poncho Solstice that's coming out with the huffed on echo-tech might get me back in the show room.
