What did you guys have BEFORE the tacoma???

Best looking full size model IMO, when modded properly ofcourse. Like this one, not too tall, not too short.

 

'89 Honda Civic CRX - 225,000 miles
'99 Toyota Tacoma extended cab SR5 5-speed - 196,000 miles
'09 Toyota Tacoma DCSB SR5 TRD offroad - 33,000 and counting

For some reason i keep jumping about 10 model years when i get a new one.

 

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Loaded.

 

97 Cobra

 

2004 2500HD silverado. 8-11 mpg. Damb Good truck. couldnt afford the gas.

 

An 03' single cab Chevy Silverado WT. 2WD. Only accomplishment was pulling a 04' 4WD Jeep out of a snow bank (in January on the side of a mountain in VT... haha) Took a couple of running starts though

 

I'd never go back!

 

I like this picture a lot....

 

I don't know which cost me more, the truck or the girl.. So I had to give up one!

 

Hopefully it was worth it

Here's a question: What's your top 3?

 

a mountain bike
tacoma is my first vehicle

 

That's a tough answer. Many were very different than the others.

• I modded my Duramax and it was a blast. It came to me loaded which was really nice.
• My Flex was by far the most comfortable vehicle I've ever owned but wasn't for me. Plan was to get a 4x4 for a 3rd vehicle but that changed.
• Doorless and topless cruising in the Jeep was a blast.
• The Highboy was just brutal. Flat bed, 36" Swampers, flat black with a 390. Loved driving that anywhere.
• Broncos were all fun, trouble free and took severe beatings.
• Old school 'Yotas just rock.

IDK- Dura, Flex, Jeep and 'Yotas all were very cool.

Really like the Taco even though it's only been 3 months. Could easily be my favorite.

Worst is easy though- any Dodge.I don't like to pick on brands but I've had zero luck with any of them. Only good thing in any of them was the Cummins in the 96.

 

Yeah that's what I hear. My would be bro-in-law (if either of us were married) has an 05 Cummins that's jacked up on 37"s and it works for him the majority of the time but then it will just randomly overheat or have an electronic part fail. No thanks.

 

Here are my old vehicles before the Tacoma. I was so pleased with the other two vehicles, I think the Scion Tc will be the next purchase as secondary car. It basically is the new Celica.

Here is a picture of a 1986 Chevy Nova. Not my picture but exact car. It was the year GM and Toyota made the Chevy Tercel. Toyota Carb Engine, Chevy Body.



Second Car, 1994 5spd Celica. This is what dreams are made of if you don't have enough $$ for the Supra. Loved this car, wish I could have kept it.

 

I had a 05 Burnt Orange Cavalier. It would have been paid off in the coming October, but the last month I had it it got hit twice. The first time was byt my friends mom, which she fixed it and the second time was at a restraunt by a a F250, he slammed the rear causing his insurance to pay $3800 to fix it and I only owed $1100 on it. Needless to say while it wa sin the body shop getting fixed I traded it in. I drove my Tacoma home from the dealership when the Cavalier still had a week left in the shop.

 

1. 1990 Toyota Pre-tacoma (Still have it)
2. 1996 Saab 9000 turbo
3. 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8
4. 1996 Toyota Lime (Lived in Japan)
5. 1995 Nissan Avenir Wagon (Japan)
6. 2006 Tundra
7. 2007 Corolla
8. 2011 Sienna
9. 1996 Tacoma

 

my very first car '97 GT supercharged - totaled


2nd - '97 cobra, finished modding it and just got bored with the car.


3rd - '04 silverado, dropped 5/7, one day i finally realized that it was impractical daily driving this thing.


4th - '06 Trailblazer SS awd, very fun suv to drive. unfortunately, avg. 15mpg + $500/month on gas didn't make too much sense.


5th - '90 Mustang convertible, daily driver avg. 20-21mpg. too much modding and now she's my garage queen, 462rwhp.

started off as this:


to this:


6th - '93 mustang notchback. this was suppose to be the new DD, but i never got it off the ground correctly so i sold it.


7th - '02 tacoma from my dad, my all around daily driver. i wish it had more power, but i my dad gave me great deal.
