Lets talk about our other cars, preferably ones you love. I really liked the Land Rover thread. Pictures would be awesome. I dont care if its lacking in prestige, If you love it it is way cool. Mine is my 91 LS400. I will get into detail down the line if you girls and the couple guys on here like the idea.

Can't talk about it. Biased opinion.

Prior to the 4Runner I had a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero with a 2.8 turbo V6 tuned to 330hp and 400tq. It was a wild ride but something was always broke.

Along side that was a 94 Explorer which I resurrected from death and turned into a competent wheeler.

And it's current garage mate is my boyfriend's 03 Jetta. It's always got something for me to tinker on. Keeps me from buying another junker to fix up!

His and hers current winter and summer beaters...Toyota 4Runner, Ford Explorer, Nissan 350z, BMW M235i. I say 'current' as we suffer from vehicle ADHD.

I must admit that the 4Runner is by far one of my favorite vehicles owned thus far!

Snapped of pic of these two after I got them both washed up yesterday. In Iowa you have to take advantage of any day in January above 40 to hand wash at home! My 14 TEP and my wife's 14 Accord EX.

Crappy iphone pic from before I lifted my TE. I guess I need to take a new pic of them together.

This one is sometimes in there as well. Grandpa bought this brand new in '69.

not sure if you'd say 'garage mate' actually - brothers from other mothers maybe - they have taken my side of the garage so the TRDP sits outside... alone and cold...

I count the wife's GX as my "4Runner" these days.

I've got a '93 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ81, 4.2L turbo diesel, 3X diff locks, factory winch, 2.5" lift, just rolled over 90,000kms that I imported from Japan, and a '99 MB E55t AMG with 84,000kms that I also brought in from Japan (left hand drive though). The LC is my baby, the Benz is my daily driver and lives outside in the driveway.

My '87 Xtra Cab:

Detroit locker rear, ARB locker up front, onboard air, Longfield superaxles, front SAS and hi-steer, running on the world's worst 35" tires from 4 wheel parts. Oh yeah, it still has A/C, power windows, locks, steering, brakes and a bunch of other stuff.

My '85 Supra:

6M engine with CT26 turbo and HKS Cams/pistons/rods, it used to be my track toy. My work in progress, I'm going through the engine again and should have it back on the road by Spring.

Oh yeah, an '06 Odyssey for the wife, but I don't wanna talk about that either!:yell:
 
My garage mate is my hubby's 2005 Chevrolet crew cab Duramax. I drove it for about 5 years and now it's his.

We also have a 1965 Chevrolet BelAir 2 door which my hubby got when he was 16 (almost 30 years ago).

My son's toy is a Toyota 4x4 truck with a Supra engine. He is almost done putting it back together and then it will be ready for the snow.
 
Just one other four wheeler. My wife's Jeep, a '14 Grand Cherokee Limited - it's a great tow vehicle with the 8 speed electronic gear box. It's also cool because girls should drive Jeeps.
