Hey all, I just joined the forums. Let me just say, I want a 4Runner badly
I am kinda just posting to say 'hi' and put myself out there. I'm going to ramble for a bit, so take what you will...
With that out of the way, here's where I am at. I have owned 2 Honda Civics for 13 years - one is a nice 2000 Si and the other is a 1993 DX for fuel economy. I recently bought a 2006 Infiniti G35 coupe 6-speed and I'm loving it. However, that means I'm sitting on 3 cars... I'm a single guy, so it's tough finding the time to drive them all - all my cars have low miles.
Some thoughts... I really like having a nice, sporty car to drive (G35). I like having a really cheap and efficient beater ('93 DX Civic). I'd like to get something that can get me up into the mountains better. I test drove a RAV4 - that has 4WD and good fuel economy, so I could sell both of my Civics and have just 2 vehicles. I test drove a lifted '95 4Runner non-SR5 - the guy was asking too much money ($7,000), and I'd really like a 1996+ SR5. I have seen good condition Jeep Grand Cherokees (V8) for really good prices, but I don't think that is what I want.
I don't need to tow anything, but having the ability to tow a small boat or wave runner once or twice per year would be nice. Right now, I only need the capabilities of a 4Runner a few times per year... but, if I owned one, I would make excuses to use those capabilities probably 20 times per year
Bringing a small 4 cylinder (RAV4) up the roads I want to drive would probably be ok, for the most part, but it seems like I'd be asking a lot from such a little engine.
Eh, I don't know which way I'll go. Again, just rambling and saying 'hi'.
