What did you have before your 4Runner?

I think it is funny seeing alot of these guys going from fixing up imports to 4runners.

Here is my list of cars in 14 years. Sorry I don't have pics due to me being at work.

1995 Honda Civic EX
1996 Honda Accord EX
2000 Honda Civic EX
2001 Acura Integra GSR
2005 Acura TSX

Now I have a 2008 Toyota 4Runner SR5. I LOVE my 4Runner and wished I would have purchased one a long time ago. The only thing that I regret about it is not getting the 4WD. Other than that I absolutely love my 4Runner!

First car was an 89 Toyota pickup, 6" lift, 35's, etc etc. No pics uploaded of that one :( .

Next was an 05 Toyota Tacoma double cab, TRD Sport. It ended up with a 3" Revtech lift, 33's, AllPro Offroad bumper w/ Warn winch, custom sliders, etc. Pics:

I let go of the Tacoma a couple weeks ago now for my 08 T4R SE. It already has the Daystar 2.5 / 1.5 and 265/70/R17 Toyo MTs. I'm really digging the new ride:

Well i bought my 4runner in Feb. 09 the same time my dad bought a 1995 Defender D90. And while waiting for parts for the 4runner to come in, i got to drive it around till september when my dad sold it, he wanted new windows in the house.

I love that truck, and will be purchasing an older Defender in the near future.

1999 Camaro z28
000_1343.jpg~original


Camaro stays while I bought my dad's 2000 Dodge Ram Sport
006-1.jpg~original



About a year later, Ram goes, Camaro stays but eventually goes. Got the 4Runner

W/the Tundra (replaced the ram for my dad) as it sits today.

And then some other cars once the 4Runner was here, to replace the Camaro. Trans am ws6, Corvette z06, Cobra, soon to be another z06 or c6.
 
That's a real cool car, was it standard transmission?:thumb3:

Nope, I got the lazy man's geartronic automatic. Which, in 06, they de-neutered it so it didn't have the torque limiter anymore and was as quick or quicker than the manual. 300hp inline 5 turbo, AWD, so much fun and unique. It was a fantastic car, however pretty small for two kids. Also, repairs on it were astronomical and it's a car notorious for major failures as it ages. I don't have any regrets, but it was an awesome car, loved it!
