What did you guys have BEFORE the tacoma???

Oh, so it's "What ALL did you drive before the Taco?"?
Some of you had listed every car you've ever driven before. Lol

I just listed the two immediately before the Taco (because they were 4wd Toyotas).

Some of us older guys have had too many cars to list. Lol.
I'm not even going to bother trying to list them all. I can't even remember all of them. That's what happens when you spend the first half of your life buying and selling all the time trying to find what you really like. My current "other cars" are a Civic, a Crossfire (2nd), and a 68 C-10 (I'll get around to finishing one day).

Some of you have had some kickin' cars. I especially like the old hatchback Toyota^^^. I'd like to have it right now.

 

Have not owned a car/truck (4 wheel device) in 12 years

 

In order from current to oldest
2002 TACOMA (current)
1993 jeep grand cherokee laredo. Inline 6. 4" lift 32's BFG A/T blah blah blah. first truck I build up all by myself. Obviously with my buddies too tho. The flexin pic its as flexy as it could have been, I didnt disconnect because I was moabin around chasing my friend on his dirtbike. Sold it for more than I put in and then some haha so lucky. The stock pic is what I had to work with at the beginning and also what the V8 looked like but no lights or bug gaurd and tinted already.
1998 4cyl 4runner. Not enough power hated it
1995 jeep grand cherokee laredo V8. Tree killed it

 

I traded in a Ridgeline for this Civic in '08 when gas prices got near $5 gal. Fun to drive, great gas mileage, but after visiting my brother and borrowing his 1st gen Tacoma I became obsessed with getting back in a pickup as my DD.

 

Had this... (sorry for size, can't figure out how to re-size)



Which turned into this...

I had this 74 Chevy Nova
small block 350, ofenhouser intake manifold, carter AFB carb, stainless dual exhaust. nothing special but man do i miss this thing. I rebuilt the carb, put new floors and trunk in then got sick of it and sold it.

Then i got the 06 Civic Si. That car was sick. i put a Jackson Racing supercharger on it, buddy club header, buddy club exhaust, cai, hondata flash pro and some other goodies. it handled nice and was pretty quick.

then a buddy of mine took me offroading for the first time and i got hooked so i sold it and got the Taco.

 

This is my 4th baby Toy and first 4x4 and first Tacoma
'77 PreTaco 372K miles
'84 PreTaco 290K miles
'95 PreTaco 145K miles
2011 Tacoma AC 4x4 2K miles
Still have the '95 so I don't have to haul firewood in the new one.
All 4 cyl manuals.

 

Outstanding choice of vehicles!

 

2009

 

Cars in signature..

 

My beloved 1988 Chevy Corsica. We got it shortly before I was born with 10,000 miles on it.

 

My first Car was a 1990 Chevrolet Beretta followed by 2000 S10, 2003 Blazer 3in lift on 31's

 

First car was a 1991 4Runner

Sold the 4Runner and got this baby:


Blew the rear pumkin up and it was time to move on so I got this:

(That was after the lift installation)

That was totalled in an accident a month ago, so now Im in the tacoma.

 

'83 VW Jetta diesel, 86' Jetta diesel, 87 Jetta GLI (I still miss her dearly), '99 Tacoma X-cab TRD (bad frame, awesome, reliable truck which I miss, but love the new one) '05 D-cab TRD. I wish I had any of the Jettas today, the diesels made 45-50 mpg and the GLI was just an 8 valve, but was reliable, fun and hard earned.

 

Badass car man!

 

I loved mine. I had the Tahoe and not the blazer. Leather, all the bells and whistles except heated seats. Damn I miss that. With the exhaust and intake I set car alarms off when I drove by
