Fog lights on a base?
And usually I'm not a fan of a regular cab for a daily driver, at all, but at least those had the extra space behind the seats.

here is my 1991 BMW 318i. Bought by my Grand-pa back then. Now my car since the last 4 years. Since I got it, I have been storing it for the winter. Nice, looks like it's in great shape! |

It shows some signs of age but for a 28 year old car it's in very good shape overall!  thank you for the comment! When spring gets back I will post more pictures. |

Got this as a loaner while my truck is at the dealer, 2007 4.2L 5 speed with only 52k miles, it is immaculate and rust free, I might actually buy it considering these trucks are not common in manual and its in better shape than my 2013    Pretty neat truck! Awesome they made them manual!  |

XL is base, STX is one up, its essentially the poor man's FX2/FX4. The fog lights are a pretty uncommon option. The regular cab is fantastic, no one will try and bum me for rides because I have enough room for me and the gf only lol. I wish it had an 8ft bed but the 6.5ft is fine, the truck is too clean to pass up for something like that |

They're nice trucks. We had an '08 XL 4X2 Shortbed Regular Cab at our dealership back in the summer, 4.2L with the 4-speed automatic... love that it had the extra doors in the back (this generation is the only one they did that). It was basically equipped but had the aforementioned automatic transmission, A/C, and cloth seats... still a nice truck and we sold it for $10.5k. My boss called them "Southern Trucks" because you typically see that configuration (Shortbed, Regular Cab, 4X2) down South. |

From when I got my license in 2009 till 2016 I drove a Chevy S-10 regular cab. Then I got a Tacoma Crew Cab (got married and am planning on having kids and the S10 was no longer reliable enough to be a daily driver). I would have bought a Colorado if they put the 4.3 from the Silverado in it instead of the 3.6 and a few other reasons I went Japanese this time... I still when I'm going somewhere and I know were gonna get in a different car or know someones gonna try to bum a ride I'll be like it only fits two (three technically but you have to be the size of a beagle to fit). I absolutely love regular cabs.. One of my biggest regrets was passing up on an identical 2003 S-10 regular cab V6 with 30,000 miles on it back in 2014. It was a garage kept immaculate truck by an old man who passed. It sold for $8,300. (which was probably too high but I would have paid it, it looked literally like it just came off the factory line) I should have bought it and I had the money at that time too, only difference to mine was it was Green. |

Update, bought the 2007 F150. Havent done much to it and probably won't do a whole lot. So far I've put my BackRack on, replaced interior, plate, reverse and front marker lights with LEDs, took the running boards off, added towing mirrors from my 2013(because why not) and done a projector retrofit in Ebay clear housings. I LOVE driving it, its not fast by any means but the M5OD-R2 has great feel and typical long throws. The 4.2L V6 is bulletproof, even to the point where Ford deemed the 04-08 4.2s as "Industrial Certified" and sold them as ESG-642 from 1999-2015 for industrial applications such as stationary engines and LPG forklift engines. It has good low end torque and falls on its face above 4000rpm. I shift it at 1800-2000rpm when normally driving and it does fantastic.  I still have the Tercel, had to put some money into it over the winter on small things(new muffler and new rear struts), but it has been DEAD reliable all winter. Its in need of some brakes and has a front end squeak when the steering wheel is turned to the right, but its still running great. Gonna do the brakes in a couple weeks, only cost $48CAD for pads and rotors SHIPPED to my door from RockAuto. Gotta love small econoboxes. It also got a projector retrofit from a bunch of spare parts I had kicking around. Only had to buy an H4 relay harness, so I essentially upgraded my night vision tenfold over the stock H4 halogen bulbs for $30CAD. It also got a pair of 5 inch halogen spotlights from Princess Auto which I put some 55w yellow H3 bulbs in and use them as fog lights in crappy weather.  |

This Tercel will not die, its got a white rust free fender on it now(the original one was very rotted) and it has a set of alloys off a 2001-2002 Toyota Corolla S, rolling on 185/60/R14 tires from the junkyard. Burns a quart of oil every 1500 miles or so, I drive it HARD, full throttle pulls almost everyday. I think im gonna be waiting a while before I pop that 5E-FE and swap it with a 4A-GE. Gonna need a new passenger control arm and passenger front caliper soon though. She keeps truckin'. Nothing has changed on the F150 except for the addition of some Weathertech rain guards.  |

Welp, I sold the Tercel, I very much miss it but I am going to school and need something dependable and cheap to run. I will more than likely buy another one once Im out of school and have space for a project, I wanna turbo one with a wicked suspension setup and have a kicka$$ autox car. Anyways I picked this up to replace it. A 2014 Toyota Yaris LE with a 5 speed(automatics are for idiots) with 50k miles. Has the bulletproof 1NZ-FE, I am very fond of it so far and am more than confident it'll be a great car for many years.   |

They are redoing the Yaris next year. All we have in the U.S. is the Yaris Sedan (nee Scion iA/Toyota Yaris iA). They're both based on the Mazda 2, so they're good cars. I like the original (2007-2012) Yaris, and the 2012-2019 Yaris as well. The older 2000-2005 Toyota Echos were cool as well. |

You Americans didn't get the Echo hatchback, Its way nicer looking and stable than the Echo sedan/coupe |
