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!

How's the M235i? I got to flog a 228i at one of BMW's Ultimate Driving Experience marketing events not too long ago and it was a pretty capable, fun-to-drive car.
 
There is no substitute...unless I want to go offroading or buy a bunch of crap at the Home Despot or... you get the idea.

I used to have a 3rd gen but I sold it a little after getting my 5th gen. I also have a 68 cougar which has been in hibernation for the past 2 years.

87 volvo wagon

It was my grandmas i got it after she passed god rest her soul. We just towed it home. We have fully adjustable suspension planned and some parts for the engine. It will be a awesome project. After this one i get to start on mine, this one is for my wife. Mine is a 82 volvo 240 manual trans turbo, intercooler, electric fans, and strut braces. Im going to finish off the suspension on it and build the crap out of the engine. It will be dubbed project "eat your hearts out Hondas"

Loved it in the other thread and love it here. New one looks like it's going to be sweet too, but with supercar designs sort of following the same mold for aerodynamics, it doesn't stand apart nearly as much as this one!

Thanks. I agree that the new one does not have the timeless design of the original. It's nice looking and running around 550 HP it will be fun but at around $150K I'll be keeping mine. With mine running a supercharger at 375 WHP or about 440 at the crank it's plenty fast enough.

I want that. All of that. Life goals...
 
89 Supra Turbo with Targa Top. Long way from being roadworthy.

Currently in the process of gathering parts to rebuild engine, transmission, and suspension.

Of course, the year we finally buy a couple sleds, there is no friggin snow by us. 2000 Polaris Indy xc sp, 1990 Indy 500, 1988 Rinker 186 captiva, 1966 Impala SS, 1997 Wrangler Sport. The fun part is shuffling these things around I don't have much space.
 
My 4 Runner doesn't sit in the garage. My wife gets one side of the garage and the other side of the garage is reserved for my 72 Z/28.

It's a real 72 Z/28 but it's not stock. The original 350 is long gone replaced by a 454 crate motor that's pushing out just over 500hp. The trans is a Tremec TKO600 5 speed which runs power back through a 3" aluminum driveshaft to a 12 bolt posi rear with 3:73 gears. It has a ton of aftermarket modifications like tubular upper and lower control arms, larger front and rear sway bars, Vintage air conditioning, Hooker ceramic coated headers, 3" Flowmaster exhaust, and 17" Torque Thrust wheels with Nitto tires. It's my pride and joy.

I also just scored this 95 Wrangler last weekend. I found it on craigslist for $1000.00 as a Jeep needing work. I called the seller and he said it needs 2 front floor pans. So I bought the Jeep and ordered new floor pans. I'm going to weld them in over the next few weeks, tune it up, and rock it on nice days.
