I find this one hilarious.

Heres the quick version of the story.

I had a red 94 (2nd gen) toyota mr2. My buddy heath buys a red 91 (2nd gen) mr2.

I do a jdm engine swap on my mr2. Heath does a jdm engine swap on his mr2.

I buy a 3rd gen 4runner. Heath asks me to help him find a 3rd gen 4runner. Then my buddy Davin asks me to help him find a 3rd gen 4runner.

I decide to do the Tundra brake upgrade as well as replace my LBJ's. Heath asks me to find him the parts to do the same.

Now Davin is asking me to find him the parts so he can follow in the same footsteps.

:whoo:

 

[nyvram]

i used to own an acura legend before this truck and i was just as obsessed over it. i even bought a JDM motor and tranny and swapped it out to get an extra 15hp. lol...loved that car..lost it in the divorce. :crying:
