TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

since we've gotten my wife a new fusion, its made me want something i can just get in and drive. I love the runner and what it does and where it takes me, but theres something to be said about just all stock, perfectly optioned car that literally just works.

 

Dude I feel the same way about the civic. It is so nice to drive around LA. Driving the 4runner in LA is miserable. I love it, and love camping in it and cruising around, but I need a daily.

 

New fusion is really nice too!

 

My F150 is perfect for you

 

its a nice car, we've been very happy with it. Im currently in a Loaner Limited Explorer and its got me wanting one.

i hate those ford model interiors

 

Yeah the goal is to have a little get around car without selling the 4runner. If I sell the 4runner for a car, it better be a nice ass car.

Because you are one tall sumbitch

 

i wont ever sell the runner, except to @4Running Daily at some point. But its long been paid off so it wont go anywhere. Cheap lease on something would really be nice. But living in an apt really limits it.

 

Same. Since parking would be 50 bucks a month for me.

The civic I got Lindsay would lease for 200 a month with 3k down. It's a turbo.

The base model leases for 170 right now with 1500 down.

Honestly used to hate civics but I really love hers. Great car and really comfortable even though I'm tall.

 

I think my Fiesta is going bye bye for an E-Golf that my dad can drive while he continues to recover from his stroke. So that leaves me with them f150 and the 4Runner. I might be buying a badass Tacoma within the next month or so that would totally kill allllllll income I have. So that would be sick. But otherwise I'll probably go buy a motorcycle and call it a day.

I really don't want to SAS my 4Runner. I don't want to beat the piss out of it yet. I'm totally content with front and rear lockers and 35's. It'll go anywhere and more now.

 

a badass tacoma you say?

 

Sorry to hear about your dad.

I hate fiestas. You will be happier with anything else. Worst car I've ever driven was the fiesta we had before the civic.

I can't wait until she gets back from school and we can double that income...

 

Thanks! He's doing much better now, 5 months later. About to get his license back and then he'll hopefully return to work in a month or 2.



It's a Fiesta ST to be fair and love it. The interior is awful and it's loud as shit in the cab. But driving it is amazing. Such a fun little go kart that you can throw around like nobody's business.

 

Haha nice. I should take back what I said. The lemon law applied to the fiesta we had so it paid for the civic. So in a way, we had a free fiesta for a while, then it paid for the downpayment on a turbo civic so I'm happy.

In the fiesta, you could floor it and it would do nothing for about 4 seconds, then, even if I took my foot off the gas, it would recognize that I floored it and take off. The throttle was on like a 4 second delayed fuse. Pretty dangerous. Ford never figured out how to fix it.

 

It's for my dream job (teacher), so the pay cut is worth it, just sucks when you're trying to support a family of 4 in an expensive place to live. I would eliminate debt and maybe a few thousand in the bank. Also any extra cash would go towards the savings instead of the CC, which would be awesome. Not to mention, saving around $500 each month from payments and insurance.

Just sucks because the Tundra is the perfect truck. I hate to sell it, but it's the best thing to do.

That's why I sold my 4runner. Tired of tinkering on it and not trusting it for a long trip or replacing parts all the time.

 

shit mines in great working order, i drive it 400 or so miles a week. Just want something to not worry about. Im tired of wasting miles away on a dumb commute.

 

Same. My commute is about to go from 65 miles RT to 75 so even worse.

 

im at 183k miles, which is nothing in the big scheme of things. But enough to want to stop wasting precious miles on going to and from work.

 

There is no pic showing popping up on the link. I can sorta make something out on LHS of the Home page. What is it?

 

Sorry, Now it popped up.
