I have a brother in law that works for task force, and they provide unmark cars to them. Him and his partner was driving in the same manor and speed like him, he pulled over and the officer ran his ID, came back and told him, next time tell us your going to be coming through our area like that next time.

I absolutely LOVE the All-Trac Celica. I had an 88 Supra Turbo and have a strong appreciation for the late-80s/early 90s Toyota sports cars. It's too bad Toyota lost all of its driving dynamics since that time.
I also enjoy seeing those Delicas when I go to BC. Definitely nothing like that here in California. My wife and I are wanting a tent trailer like you have to pull behind the 4Runner...nice looking setup you have there.
I just added this to the fleet yesterday. 2013 Nissan Leaf. It has some cool equipment for being an economy car--heated seats front and rear, heated steering wheel, Nav, ability to set timers to pre-heat or pre-cool the car on a schedule and the ability to check the car's status from a smart phone, including charge status, turning on/off the climate control, etc. It's a blast to drive too, and damned near free to drive at 129 MPG "equivalent."

Funny you should mention that. On the Delica forum that I frequent, there has been a small trickle of new members from the USA in recent months. As some of those Delicas have reached the 25 year old mark, there have been a few imported down there...at least one of which appears to be in California, with a few in Oregon and Washington. So, keep a look out

Is a Delica a canadian version, like canadian bacon?
Also are we talking about ST185 Alltrac or ST205 Alltrac that was not available in the USDM. I had a ST185 1990MY, although it was a fun vehicle, it was a girly vehicle. Promptly sold it.

Hahaha, no the Mitsubishi Delica was something we never got in North America. The closest thing was the 2 wheel drive gas powered ones. I had mine imported from Japan, back in the fall of 2008, as soon as it turned 15 years old.
According to what I have found on the internet (it's written on the 'net, so it's all true, right??? haha), the first 2274 ST165's were made for the Japanese market only, with mine being number 2182. Besides it being a pre-facelift ST165, it has the center locking diff, and a boost light instead of the boost gauge. The GT Four was imported from Japan back in 2003. One kind of annoying feature is that it "dings" at you, when you exceed 105 km/h. I need to disconnect that, one of these days!

My fleet of various powered fun.
The FJ, which will turn into a 4runner (2011 Limited) on tues! :thumb3:
The fuel sipping Fit sport, loaded to the gills, which is surprisingly fun to drive.
The yard killer, JD z445
Shallow water beast, Rock Bottom. Will run in 4-5" of water. Customized to run shallow, float shallow and hit stuff.
And my fighter... fast, loud and scary.

My 02 4 Runner Sport Edition is my daily driver.
In the summer I rock my 68 Firebird for car shows and cruise nights. It's a 68 Firebird with a 400 bored .030 over. It has a Crower 60243 cam, ported Ram Air III heads, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and a worked over Rochester quadrajet carb. I run a Muncie 4 speed and a 12 bolt rear with 3:73 gears.
My wife daily drives her 02 WRX wagon. It only has 60,000 original miles and she LOVES it. I have to admit that the car is an absolute blast to drive.
I also still have the first car I ever bought new. It is my 94 Jeep Wrangler. I bought it brand new in 1995 as a leftover just after I got out of the Marines. I daily drove this Jeep for 17 years until I finally decided to treat myself to a newer vehicle (my 02 4 Runner). Since I love the Jeep so much I decided to keep it and I currently store it at my vacation home in the Pocono Mountains. I use it up there occasionally in the summer. I love cruising it with the top down. I'll probably re-do it one day or give it to my son.

My project car. 1984 Volvo 240 Turbo. Lots of modifications, full suspension, 3" turbo back exhaust, etc...
The wife's former daily, 2001 Land Cruiser. We still have it, she just bought something smaller as a daily.
The wife's new daily driver:
That Volvo is TITS...
Track rat, for which I bought a 4Runner to yank around and hence found current forum. It's a tempermental beast....

Can we please revive this thread? Would be great to see what everyone else is driving 5 years later!
The second car is an 09 Honda element!

No pictures, but nothing special. We've got the 2000 T4r Lifted/locked/SC'd on the side right now, the 'new' 2007 T4r that's my daily and the wife drives a 2010 corolla 5spd. The 2000 is on the chopping block as we don't have room for a 3rd vehicle. We're kind of in a practical point in our lives right now. Hauling stuff with one, and good mileage with the other while keeping maintenance simple and easy.
