I got cement and get lots of compliments on the color.
My wife's parents bought some kayaks a few years ago. Due to some minor aging issues (and because they don't want to cheap sell them), they have offered the kayaks to us on numerous occasions along with the trailer. Truthfully we could use them. We go to the beach and can go out on Long Island Sound. My kids can kayak and eventually they won't like going to the beach just to build sand castles. Truth be told, I just don't want to deal with them/store them. Nor do I want to trek out to their place on Long Island (1 hr 15 min 1 way) to get these things and trailer them home with my Pilot.
We pull into a restaurant parking lot and back in right next to a TRD SPort Tacoma with 2 Kayaks sticking out of the back. I tell her that's the truck I was looking at. She looks and says, "well you can fit the kayaks in without a trailer." I replied: "Yes you can!" She then asked me at dinner "if you really would want to drive a pickup truck instead of your Infiniti."
"Well, no. I'd MUCH rather drive the Infiniti, but I'm going to fall out of love with it at some point. Why not get rid of it while I still have some fond memories. Plus at the price point per month compared to it's MSRP it will be hard to beat for 2 years."
We shall see what happens

Went in to the office today but may try to go drive a Tacoma over lunch Thursday or Friday. My (very) flawed logic is rather than spend 1k on tires for a car neither of us really cares for, why not put the 1k down on the Tacoma and the last number I was quoted was 55/mo less than the X1. Outside of the gas mileage, the truck would be useful hauling stuff to the lake house which seems to be a never ending chore. Plus if the boat ever has to go in for service, I’ll have to pay the dealer to come get it or service it up there IE not at the dealer. Neither the X1 nor Crosstrek is towing a 21ft Sea Ray.
Lots of hurdles to cross though I’ll have to convince the wife though. She prefers that we be financing at least one vehicle instead of leasing both. Can’t say I blame her.
She would take the Subaru which she likes but not sure it would be her first choice if a new car is in the offing.
Plus I need to drive the Tacoma. I’ve had a Tacoma (95) and a Ram regular cab and a number of SUV’s but have not driven anything that big as a DD in close to 10 years. It may not be my cup of tea any longer.

Pretty sure that OH, IN and PA don't intersect. OH, IN and MI intersect, but there is nothing there.

I'd guess there are a dozen locations in the US, at least, where the TV weatherperson says, "It's going to be rainy today in the Tri-State area". They definitely say that in Cincinnati.
I have some faint memory of the same thing in Huntington, WV, when I was young.

There's a Tacoma TRD Off Road offered by a broker in Philly for $165/month plus MSDs and doc fee, presumably broker fee too.
Oh and @nyccarguy it's black 😎

I know some of them are through US Bank and there are horror stories with them, but I had zero problems.

I've read the same. Although with msd's this is probably through Toyota Financial.
I also cracked and asked the wife what she thought. That deal is almost honestly too good to pass up.
EDIT: No go for me. Someone else should snag it though. It has just about every possible option.

In other news, I got to ride in the 4Runner I helped my friend find when I was in Duluth last week. Nice truck, felt like a 7/8 size Tahoe (in a good way). Someone had installed noisy Ironman tires, and the backup cam didn’t have guidelines that moved when the steering wheel turned, but other than that, I liked it. I can see enough there to understand how people are very loyal to that model.
I couldn't get it in Pittsburgh either but Philly is an hour by plane and it would have been a good excuse to visit a few college friends in Delaware and Philly. Alas the manual is a deal killer and if I got tired of it I would have zero issues flipping it here.

Property tax bills came in the mail today. Real Estate taxes up a little over 5% from last year. Crossed over the $10K per year threshold.
Personal Property Tax on the 3 cars is $1,098

It really grinds my gears that I see these deals available in other regions. I doubt you could get anything close to this where I live.

One of the dealers around here has a Voodoo Blue TRD Pro 4Runner. It looks so bad [non-permissible content removed].

There's plenty of great CUV's out there. Glad Toyota has kept the same formula with the 4Runner.

I'm going to be a busy car shopper starting around Labor Day.
Elantra goes back 11/7/2019
Mom's RAV goes back 12/1/2019
Enclave goes back 9/7/2020
GM always offers (me anyway) a pull ahead but unless we are getting another Enclave or Traverse there isn't anything else GM I think I'd buy. The LaCrosse and Regal lease like crap so they are out.

If Tacomas are still leasing like that in a year and there's no attractive lease options available at that point in time on sedans or sporty SUVs I would consider picking one up as a stop gap until something more attractive was available. Would need to be an auto though.

I really want to like the Avalon, (I had an 03 and 06) but I just can't get past that front.

For my daily commute of a few miles 3 days/week to the bus depot and other regular use it would be fine. I would still have the Prelude, during April to mid-November anyway, for a change of pace. If it's an auto my wife already said she would be agreeable to driving one and her commute is 15-20 miles one way depending on route taken.

Lexus at least has that spindle look across the line. Toyota are all a little different, in varying degrees of ugly.
