As of August, 2019:


September, 2013
This is my first car, which was purchased in September 2013. I wasn't new to 4Runners though, as my mom had a 2002 that she bought new. When purchased it had 226,000 miles on it and was entirely stock. It had amazing maintenance logs, and the guy even logged when he washed it. There was a tad bit of rust, but nothing too bad. I was eager to have something to call my own, and something to work on!
...and so it began, the story of my 4Runner...
