What did you drive before your 4Runner

[joshuabrady]

Hey, there was a post in Classic T4R's about headlights, and somehow we got on the subject of what we drove before our 4Runners. So I was just wondering what everyones first car was or what you drove before their 4Runner or if it your Runner was your first. By the way I drove an 1986 VW Jetta GL, 5 speed, fast little car.

I drove an 86 Ford Bronco II with a 6" lift and about $10,000 in upgrades (yes I'm a dumbass) It was quite a change to get used to my 2003 4Runner Sport !

 

[Mark86]

I drove nothing. This is my first truck and probably the only kind of truck I will ever drive in my life!!

I drove a 99' Rav4. Such a small and responsive vehicle. It was always fun driving it.... but now... I drive what I drive. Kinda like Mark86, my mom and I both drive 4th gen 4runners. (Limited of course)

My first and only other car was my '94 Mustang, that I bought brand new. Pretty basic except for a bra, racks, and near the end I got some smoked heads and chromed tails.

My very first vehicle was a tricycle

I bet none of you drove anything even close to car I got beck when I was 17......Look at pic below. It was really fun to drive this thing.. Next was 1988 WV Golf 1.6 Turbo Diesel, 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and now 4R........ So far it is the best of all


It was called Maluch

A 2000 Honda Accord SE. Good car, I miss it sometimes. I should've kept it, but I don't know what I would do with two cars..

i started with a beat up 92 mercury tracer, then a 94 toyota corolla which i loved, but we had to part ways when i fell in love with the 4runner.

I still have my Lexus GS400 and my last car was a Supercharged

BMW 328i. I like them silver and low, though the Lexus isn't nearly as slammed as the bimmer was.

[24runners]

I got a 1989 Toyota Supra when I was 16....then bought a 1996 Grand Prix GTP...then sold it for a 1996 4Runner SR5 4x4 (later added the TRD SC)....then, after getting a computer science degree, I picked up what I had been wanting forever, a 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo then just about a month ago, Dec. 16, I picked up my 2005 4Runner Sport 4x4 vvt-i V8

the only one I dont still have is the Grand Prix...stupid GM....it kept having alternator problems. So now I have 2 supras and 2 4runners! (points to my post name "2 4runners")

 

[linhsy]

My first car was Honda Civic 2000. Now it is my 4Runner. It is a big jump for me.

 

[Noloc]

I drove a beautiful brand new 2000 Toyota Solara SE V6 5 Spd. It had charcol gray leather, sunroof, a TRD body kit, various TRD accessories, 17 Konig Imagine's on 225/45/17 Nitto 450's... I miss that car !!! But I must say... it doesn't compare to my 4Runner.

My first was an '85 Buick. Bought it from an old lady for $900, totalled it w/in three months and got $3200 from insurance. I then drove a '94 Dodge Intrepid for a year because it was just an extra car in the family.

Traded that on a '95 BMW, which I then traded on a '98 Runner.

I got my new Runner in early 2003. No looking back.

 

[Phnrprman]

Let me see my first car was a 1975 Camaro then a 1991 Mustang then a 1999 Audi A4 then a 2002 BMW 325i and finally the 2004 T4R SE. I still own and use the Audi and BMW on the weekends. R.I.P to the Camaro and Mustang.

 

[the_josh]

First was a 1969 chevelle (still have it)
Then a 1995 celica gt (sold to get runner)
now my baby 2004 sport!!!

A MINT 1989 BMW 325i, like 3 Civics (2000 DX, 1997 Si, 2002 Si), 91 Accord, 2 1993 Integras, 199something Nissan truck, a 1989 CRX Si, 1983 BMW 528 (first car)......probably another 1/2 dozen if I think harder.

Here's the 325i before I sold it in August:

Gavin S. Your 328 and GS look slick, nice cars man! How did the S/C on the 328 drive?? Any dyno numbers? When I free up some money I want to build a turbo M3 soooooo bad

Like you, I drove a little car before getting the 4Runner. I now noticed other cars don't pull out in front of you. It was a 88 Acura Integra and I kept as a second car and just sold it last year. I had a option to buy another old car or keep it, see this thread.

I drove a 330 convertible with sport suspension before the 4R, very different ride and handling
