Hello, my name is Connor. I am a new user to this website. I am 16 years old and I am passionate about cars. Especially toyotas. This is my story.
It all started with this car.
It is a 2001 Toyota Sequoia V8 2WD. 168,000 on the clock. Kept in great condition.
We brought this home in 2001. It was our family car for 10 years. Thats when it was passed down to me. On June 18, my 16th birthday, the car was given to me. I loved the car, but sadly it had to go. There wasn't anything wrong with the car, I just needed a smaller vehicle with 4WD. I started looking for a 3rd gen 4Runner. I looked for a couple weeks. Nothing. It seemed like i would be stuck in that big gas guzzler. Then we stumbled across a place called Thoroughbred Motors. They specalize in top of the line vehicles (bmw, mercedes, etc.). They had a really nice 1999 4Runner Desert Dune 4WD 150,000 miles on it. I was ecstatic, I had to have it. We worked out a deal. Even better, the deal was an even trade. The Sequoia for the 4Runner. I drove it home later that day.
150,000 on the odometer
The day after i bought it, I decided to go wheeling on one of my dad's real estate properties (commercial). In the tall grass, i didn't see this creek/ditch until I was already in it. I got stuck. :happens:
And another..
So I called up one of my buddies to come pull us out. This is the view from his car.
He rescued me, then i went and cleaned off my car!
I see a lift in my future! :naughty:
