Running Havasu every weekend is Costly!!

Did you bump your head this morning???? NO STREET BIKE! :boxingguy
I told you a car was fine. I will go over to Lexus at lunch.
Maybe you can bring it to the dirt this weekend so we all can test drive it :wink:

Hey, at least you're getting a Lexus.
This review on the Scion TC:
"It feels like a larger car and is quite refined, almost as if from Toyota's luxury Lexus division. "

We are thinking the same thing, in a different way. My truck is getting old and gas is killing us right now.
We are planning on buying a commuter car, and just leaving the truck for towing/hauling only. We should come out ahead in the long run.
New tow rig $50k+
Annual gas $4000-$6k towing and every day driving
Total $54k-$56k
Current truck paid for
Annual gas towing only $1000-$1500 (10 trips a year)
Commuter car $15k
Annual gas $2k
Total $18k-$18.5
Savings of $36k..... down payment on new boat!! :hammer2:
And we have a 3rd car for emergencies.

The solution was the SCION out the door for less than $15k!
just 02.
For 15k you can buy a lot of gas / diesel. On a long drive to the river / lake, I feel safer in my truck than in my buddy's Camry.
Just my $0.02

my truck is a f350 crew dually v10, I just bought a New Road King and hardly ever drive the truck any more and it is getting 38-45 miles per gallon.
Nuttin like a Harley on the road.........

You know I've been considering exactly that. Wife hates the idea, but the tc (?) looks ok. Well if she doesn't like it, I think the O5 GSXR gets almost as good mpg, and has more power too.
And if the boat needs to come back for service???????? Sub would tow it but the GSXR would look a little funny :2purples:

Thank you Jay.
I think he needs to give you a call.

That's what I was thinking:
$15,000/$2.50 per gallon = 6,000 gallons x 15 mpg = 90,000 miles
THAT is a LOT of trips to/from the river :idea:

Hey Sean, I'll go get that Yellow/Black GSXR1000-and we can share!!!!LOL

[Ziggy]

The only problem with those little cars are if you get in an accident. Can you imagine getting creamed by a truck in one of those things??
Surprisingly, those damn things rate pretty well in accidents......who'dathunk?

My daughter and I have "I Spy" games on the road to see who sees more "Lunch Boxes" on any given road trip.
