So I ended up selling it to a friend for 3k, took that and another couple grand and put a down payment on a brand new (at the time) 2010 F150

Low and behold LITERALLY a week later I got laid off out of the blue... granted they hired me back within 2 months, I went back and then quit and moved 3 hours away after another 2 months lol, but had I have known that was going to happen I'd probably still have that truck to this day...


I kick myself in the *** every time I remember seeing that Yota drive away around the corner in the neighborhood for the last time...

Man, that's a rough story, blazin red! I love a manual, even in traffic, but then again, I don't have bad knees lol

Who knows, that ol yota is probably still out there running around somwhere

Lol, funny story, had another friend in the same town send me this picture about 2 years after selling it. It was still driving around at that time, looked exactly how it was when I had it.

That was about 7 years ago now...
