4. 99 Mustang GT 4.6L 5 speed ( worst vechicle I ever owned.)

5.2000 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins turbo diesel /5 speed 4X4. Blue box chip and straight pipe!! I loved this truck... i could smoke mustangs and camaros off the line in this bad boy!

( i think I got about every aftermarket part for this car!!)

7.2004 4 Runner SE V-6
- WIfes car 2005 Jeep LIberty Limited


I owned various other beaters over the years too.... 76 blazer (snow plow)
78 ford f250 460 and a slipping tranny , I drove that truck for years with a slipin tranny!! Before I joined the navy I had a brand new 2001 Yamaha YZF R1.
That pretty much covers what I drove before the 4 runner

My first car was a 1984 Ford Temp given to me by my grand parents when I was 16. I have many cars since then so I won't list all of them. But right before the 4runner I was driving a 1987 Toyota Corolla FX-16 GTS. I still have it thought it will be sold in a few weeks. I love that car but 3 cars between me and the wife it just doesn't make sense.

I used to have an 87 fx16; that car was a blast to drive. I still miss it. wolf in sheeps clothing.

Cool video, sounds really nice and deep. Gotta love these DOHC V8's

Ya I thinking of an E36 M3 for a boost project. You can pick the car itself up for pretty cheap these days, and they already handle and look awesome IMO, so they're just begging for at least 300whp haha. It'll be awhile before I ever get to actually doing it tho

The car I drove before I got my 4Runner is in my sig!

'77 Caprice Classic (parent's car)
'84 Dodge Colt
'86 Ford Escort EXP
'84 RZ350
'87 Hurricane 600
'98 ZX-9R (still own)
'00 Impreza RS (still own)

Last was 02 Accord EX-V6...great car.

Prior to that 00 Mitsu Eclispe GT V6...impulse car buy!

Lots in between my first...

Which was a 76 Toyota Corolla.

First car was a '88 Toyota Corolla. Good solid car, but then i wanted something sportier so i bought a '00 Civic EX brand new. Awesome car until i got to the point where i felt like i needed something bigger, more mature, and something where you dont have to worry about every little bump!






truck after HID conversion:

Well if we are going with complete history of cars. My cars were:

1960 Borgward wagon- learn to drive. 60 hp, 4 speed on the dash.

1964 Triumph Herald- a 4 seater convertable.

1959 Jaguar Saloon 3.4- A inline 3.4 DOHC engine, over heated when driven under 80.

1968 VW Bug- My college days, it was cool back then.

1970 Honda CB 350- This started my love with Honda. They only built 2 wheel vehicles back then.

1969 Opel wagon- worst car I ever owned.

1970 Volvo 144- Best car I ever owned.

1980 Honda Civic wagon- Sold in 98, great car.

1988 Acura Integra- first car with air, moving up in the world.

1992 Honda Accord wagon- My wives car, first car with automatic, moving back in the world.

2001 Toyota 4Runner- OK it has a automatic, but it still is nice.

1991 Toyota Previa- Bought my parents car and using as a third car.


So, what the heck is a Borgward. My Dad said it is the car of the future, they went out of business a year after my Dad bought it.

I traded my 95 Landcruiser for the 4runner. My first car was a 1957 MGA.

Before my 4runner, I had a 99 civic 4dr automatic. Which I did an auto to manual swap, swapped in a '00 acura integra engine, turbocharged it, suspension work. Pretty much everything execpt the body. The reason I bought a suv was because I thought I could leave this car alone, but boy was I wrong. I guess it's just in me not to leave cars alone. First thing I did was find this website. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. More good tho, I guess.
