Well...the S2000 needed more doors, more driven wheels, and a lot more torque...

Yeah, my wife's Civic in CA was something like $650 when it was about 4 years old & she'd moved to TX.
She was shocked at the difference, and the cheaper inspection/emissions test costs.

Insurance is cheaper here (I think) as we pay ~$650 per 6 months for both cars. No emissions/inspections either.

I pay a smidge over $200/mo for the Exploder & MiniBus, so right about equal to yours.
The Midget will add a marginal amount to that number.

We pay $1200/yr for insurance on both cars and registration for the Tesla was $70 for 2 years.
They get you with the personal property taxes though. This year will likely be around $600 for the Tesla.

Latest OTA update came through and DRASTICALLY improved the phone key performance. I no longer stand next to my $75k truck like an idiot waiting for it to unlock.

Don’t venture in to car talk but it seems all the cool kids are here now.
congrats on the rivian.
The neighbor across the street from me got one earlier this year too, really nice looking.

R1S looks awesome on those 22's.

I've only seen 1 S on the road around here, it's a good looking SUV.
Given the prices I saw for 21s, I can't imagine how much a set of tires for the 22s has to cost. Though 22s have been common for a while, maybe 21 is just still an odd size, but it was something like 6-700 more than the same tire in 20".

Yeah, the 20s on my Exploder & the MiniBus are super common 20 inch sizes, though the Explorer are just a bit smaller than what the majority of A/T tire sizes are. Odds are it'll get either LTX or AS4 Michelins when it's time.

Been seriously on the hunt for a GT350 for a couple weeks now...lost out on two of them so far. 
Anyone have a line on one at a good price let me know!

For some shitbox? Sure! For a $90k SUV? Yeah...no. 
The Sequoia is a lot bigger than a R1S. Also, you can put a sheet of plywood in the back of that thing with the tailgate closed?

Plywood is 48"x96" so it won't fit with the tailgate shut. Yes the bed has a 5ft capacity but you can put the tailgate down and drive around that way without much of a problem...provided you tie things down lol. So yes, your Tundra does have more capacity than the tree along with being able to carry 5 people (or more stuff inside) while doing it.
R1T has a 4.5ft bed with the gate up, 7.5ft with it down, so I can (and have) easily toss in a sheet or three in the back, tie it down, drive it home. Works awesome!

Car/truck is a tool, have the right one for the job and use conditions you need it for!
The burbs are YUGE, I bet you can fit a whole sheet in there and shut the tailgate...but you're only bringing one other bro (or sig other) with if doing that.

Have a line on two right now. The one I want has a deposit on it but the seller isn't sure the guy who put the deposit will go through with it. If he passes, I'm going to snag it.
