    Lol my best friend in CA and I use that line all the time. We both have shitty memories and it drives people nuts. Haha it is nice to have an SUV and a car to drive.

    I wouldn't know. The 4Runner dying is the reason I bought the Firebird, so I have yet to experience that perk. It's going to be tough for me though because I like driving both cars and both have downsides to driving as well. Its probably going to be the hardest thing for me

    Sometimes it comes down to a flip of a coin to decide which car I am taking to work lol. Usually use the Camry to drive long(er) distances. Can't beat the gas milage and the 4Runner's stupidly small tank

    I don't think its a matter of small tank, but more of low gas mileage issue.

    For me the hardness comes from the fact both are fun. Firebird feels a lot more powerful and quicker, but the 4runner has stick shift so even if it accelerates slower its more entertaining. The Firebird I'm worried about rocks bouncing up and chipping my paint while the 4runner has crappy MPG. Firebird gets all kinds of attention, but that could be a bad thing when I'm not near it. 4runners just an old piece of shit in other peoples eyes so I don't have to worry about it as much. Not to mention if someone opens their door on it I won't be as upset as I would be with the Firebird. It's all just one back and forth argument I'm gonna have with myself constantly :/

    That is true...having a sports car and manual 4Runner would be a hard decision. Luckily I have a boring Camry so makes the decision easy on most days if I am just going to work or going out of town.

    Yeah I don't have that luxury :/ I'd also feel like I'm neglecting them if I didn't drive them that much. Which sucks because I also want a whole bunch.

    I can tell I'll never be satisfied with my cars lol

    Haha I am the same way. I am going to let my 4Runner rest for a few days and drive the Camry this week since I just drove it up to Denver a couple days ago. Next week the 4Runner will be the shuttle when my buddy from AZ comes out to board.

    Yeah that'll probably be the case with mine as well. When the runner moves again I'll probably drive it like crazy

    Yeah, and then I'll either a) break something and be super pissed off b) run out of gas money because I'm not making any or c) both. Should be interesting haha

    They were great Offroad but I had to get them balanced like two or three times and one exploded on me Offroad. They were also really loud on the streets and highway.
