What did you drive before your 4Runner

I sold my 02 IS 300 5 Speed for the 4 Runner. I really miss the car for obvious reasons, but the 4runner is meeting my versatility needs. My very first car was a faded pea green 74 Impala (straight 6) very slow and not cool. Had it painted blue and it turned out purple. I hit a deer on the way home from a high school football game the day I picked it up from the body shop. (It couldn't have worked out better). It was replaced with a VW Rabbit Truck "WTF". I don't know what my parents were thinking. I got more parking fines at school than the thing was worth. Finally, after convincing the Principal that my friends were the cause of the perception that I was parking like a jacka$$ . The Principal caught my friends lifting the back end of the truck up and swinging it around. I was on the curb, grass, double parked, etc. for months.
 
My two legs and a bus pass...

but when I did drive, luckily, it was a foreign edition LC extended cab, most people haven't seen what they look like.

Its hard to date it now, just cause the models been the same for years.

I didn't know Preludes looked like that. That is a beautiful looking car. Hopefully it had a stick shift.
