Thanks all, luckily the downgrade in size is only temporary. I'll be back in something big in about 3 years. Just no point right now, rather save the money instead of having a truck that may make it 2500 miles in a year and just sit there and depreciate. I'm doing well on the sale so I'm happy.

The MINI is just a stepping stone. Next rig will likely be a Tacoma/4Runner, Jeep, or another F150.

I'm doing quite well financially now that I can just bank most of my usual vehicle costs and build another supremely badass vehicle in the future.

In the meantime cutting through ATL traffic in a tiny racer is supreme fun bang shifting through all 6 gears. I'm happy, and have no little man complex that requires me to drive the biggest truck on the block.

You remind of my best friend who mods his cars and trucks; then sells them after a year or two. I believe he's been through about 35 different vehicles in the past 15 years.
Good luck on your future ride. I'd look into the new Raptor

Dear lord, that's a way to waste an insane amount of money. I had this one over two years and I'm only trading to reduce costs and take advantage of the large equity I hold.

New Raptor? No way, don't need a $65k truck. But that would be nice

Well, been forever since I been on the forums and sad to catch up in this thread! I am curious though, do you remember about what offset Raptor wheels are? I have +18 Worx currently and want to run a similar setup to what you had.
