So I just bought a new daily driver: 2012 Mazda 3 GX :

I'm not selling the Dakota but will not be driving it too often now.

I'm thinking about putting it on jackstands in the garage and fix a bunch of things that need to be done on my own time, such as the front axle seals, rear brakes, rear wheel bearings, muffler.

Otherwise it'll just be used whenever I need a truck!

Still sticking around, just likely won't be as active!

 

I'm jealous, I'm looking into getting a mazda 6 when the diesel comes out. But I'll have to trade in the Dakota when I do, I can't keep two vehicles.

 

The $160 in gas every 5 days was killing me. Not that a new car payment is any better but on my first tank of mostly city I got just under 500 kms and cost me $62 from almost empty to full.

Keep in mind this is me driving it hard at sometimes and light at others.

My dakota I always drive light and I struggle to get 350 kms to an $85 tank. Just brutal.

 

Cool for you! Enjoy the new DD.
