My love for 4runners started when a neighbor of mine in TX had a white '89 fully optioned 6cycl 4runner with altimeter. He would take us for light wheeling and from that day I dreamed of having a 4runner. Then my father's second wife had a 95 fully loaded 5spd SR5 that he would let me take when she was out of town or at work I loved that truck and wanted to buy it from her but she would not let me have it. Then it was time for me to buy my first car and I vowed to get a 4runner. Although I would have loved to have been able to afford a limited 4x4 I knew that my budget would not allow for that so I decided that I could make due with a new '00 4cycl 5spd 2wd. The day I went to Toyota of Orlando to purchase it I was greeted by a representative and told him that I wanted to test drive a 4runner and he told me he would be back with the keys, he never came back. I guess he assumed that because of my youth I could not afford it (to bad I was approved for $30k by my bank). So out of my anger I walked over to the Honda dealer and left with a 00 fully loaded Honda Civic EX. Then life took it's swings at me and today I have an 04 Mitsubishi Endeavor which has treated me well but the void of wanting a 4runner still lingers. Well now I am in an RN program and the Endeavor already has over 100k so I am saving up the pennies to get my graduation present T4R 5th Gen '11 4runner SR5 4x4. So for now I make due staring at others awesome runners until the day I walk on the stage and over to pick up my new Toyota.:shrug:
