    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg So i want to see the cars you guys were in before you got the tacoma. Also after you got rid of it ( if you have ).

    First i car was the
    2002 audi a4 ( sold )

    Later was the
    07 honda civic, spent so much money on it and sold it to my friend, 2 weeks after he crashed.

    I bought two cars at the same time which were the
    2003 mazda protege5 ( still have it)
    2007 acura tl( still have it)

    And now the
    2000 tacoma prerunner.
    I love driving this truck because i can get anywhere my other cars cant. Specially since i lowered all of them but the tl, my wife drive that car, so no mods lol. So you guys now know what kind of car scene i was on and this is a big difference from it ,being all high from the ground its awesome lol
    Dont know when i will get rid of it so no car after. But if i ever do, it'll be another taco for sure!

    I had a 1999 ford ranger V6 4x4 offroad w/ 5 speed manual. Nothing but trouble once it hit 130,000 miles. I traded it in for my 2008 Tacoma in september of 2007.
    My other daily driver is a 2014 Volvo S60 Premier , 5 cylinder, 6 speed auto, AWD Turbo, 250HP. She's a tight fast car!

    its my 3rd Volvo in a row.. i had a 1993 940, 2000 S70, now the 2014 S60. I love Volvo's.
    It came with Volvo safe and secure coverage. 5/50 bumper to bumper coverage and ALL scheduled maintenance. It also includes wear and tear, so even wiper blades and brakes are covered for 5 years, 50,000 miles.

    I had a 1988 mustang GT that i bought brand new. Those were the days when all the dealers were getting $2/3K over sticker 'availability charge'. I found a deater, Duddie Ford in Westboro MA that wasn't playing that game. As i was in the showroom talking, a delivery rig pulled in. Right on top was a the brand new black Mustang GT 5.0 manual that I had been looking for! It was a stripped down version with crank windows. The only options were A/C and the premium stereo. Just what I was looking for, a 302 manual. I bought it on the spot for $12,500... Those were the days! Being young and dumb, I totalled it 10 months later.

    my vehicle was a 96 2wd grand Cherokee that I got for free from my dad and it didn't run, I got it running and imideitaly tried to sell it, its very difficult to sell a 2wd jeep in Oregon. my second truck was a 1983 Datsun 720 4x4 and that was one gutless but fun little pickup thenit blew a head gasket and I didn't feel like fixing it so I sold it for 500 dollars and then I bought a 89 Toyota pickup with 33x12.5 tires on it and it was even more fun and also black. then I got tired of chasing oil leaks from everywhere and it blew a head gasket (it was a 3.0)so I sold it too and bought a 2001 tundra which I don't have any pics of sadly but it was short lived since I totaled it, the insurance gave me more then it was worth so I didn't complain much and after that I bought an 05 4runner It was a compromise for my wife, it was ok I guess I missed have a truck but a miracle happened and it too blew a head gasket so I sold it too and came across my Tacoma that I have now

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Had and still have quite a few but the Tacoma is my primary driver, everything else has a V8 so obviously it is the most cost-effective option!

    1980 CJ5 (sold)

    Another car inherited from my Dad, he bought it in 1985 for a little over 3k in this very same condition, California car, zero rust and original factory paint and interior still intact. It's my pride and joy and I've been in love with this car more than any other for as long as I can remember. I've sacrificed blood, sweat and tears working on it, it was a bear for awhile and it's had 4 different engines in it trying to get the one to run right. I finally caved in and just bought a brand new crate engine for it couple summers ago and slapped that baby in there last spring and she's never run better! I should've done that to begin with, Dad would be proud if he could see and drive it now.
