What did you drive before your 4Runner

lucky me.... the 4runner is my first vehicle!
but before i had my own truck, i drove my parents '03 PT Cruiser and a '01 Dodge Ram.
one was speedy and the other was tough. now i have the best of both worlds!!!
 
I drove a shitty 2003 Ford Explorer Sport. I had tranny problems at 45,000 miles and had to postpone a trip to Paris!!!! Never again look back.

:cool:
 
All -

Okay here is my contribution to the former vehicle list.

1) 1984 Pontiac Bonneville (2door/350V8) Lots of fun, ran the hell out of it in High School. Big and Safe.

2) 1981 Fiat X/19 Silver with Tan leather, nice and had fun with the ladies in this car. Bought for $1,000 sold for $1500.

3) 1987 Red Dodge Shadow ES Turbo 2.2L This car was a POS, but could get up and boogy. Massive torque steer with the turbo.

4) 1989 Red Acura Integra RS, very nice car and ran like a champ. Traded in on the next car.

5) 1994 White Acura Integra RS, very nice car...really nice wish I still had it. Rock solid, never had one single issue with this car.

6) 1998 Black Ford F-150 Ext Cab V8 4X4 XLT. very nice truck and could haul a lot of stuff. 6 recalls in one year, sold it.

7) 1998 Desert Dune Toyota 4Runner SR5 loaded. Rock solid even today. Wife's car now.

8) 2001 Silver/Blk leather Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT. Oh man! I really miss this car...a slice of heaven on earth. Owned 3yrs with no problems at all. Rock solid with 46,000 miles on it.

That's all folks.
03RR

I'm going to pick up a R6 tonight with Koz (he's got a pickup too).

I think I have my M3 sold in a couple of weeks too so it'll be the 4Runner and a bike.
 
1) 1991 GMC Sonoma Extended cab. Black with red pin stripes... it was pimp!

2) 1995 Chevrolet Beretta, red with V6

3) 2000 Saturn SL2... gold

4) 2004 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L, white 4cyl

5) Just ordered by 05 4Runner Sport V6 2wd in white (leather, sunroof, spoiler, JBL 3-in-1 6 in-dash cd player, 10 speakers... blah blah blah)

This will be my second brand new vehicle that I have purchased on my own. The other three were family hand-me-downs.

Prior car was a 2000 Grand AM GT coupe. Great car and loved the pickup. Unfortunately it was in the shop literally on a monthly basis. Just couldn't deal with it anymore. Had so many parts replaced it was practically new when I turned it in. Never again...

I had a 1995 Grand Prix GTP (3.4L 24vohc...220hp)...bought it brand new and EVERY summer the alternator died...the 3rd year (I had 37k miles) it died again and I had to pay for it myself....my gf at the time was driving it...soooo I went to Atlanta (where she was) and traded it on a used 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD...the 4Runner had 50k miles when I bought it and had 135k miles when I sold it and I NEVER had any problem with it :)

So I agree, it would take a LOT to ever get me back into a GM

THANK YOU TOYOTA!
