post your vehicles gone by pics

Are you saying I'm old? (laugh) Just kidding..... My stuff is newer & boring. My husband had some cool shit! He probably wishes he still had his Demon.

Very cool Jimmy!! I wheeled with many of those and have many fond memories of them kicking ass on the trails. They were big especially after putting bigger tires on them. This one guy made it look like childs play. He took that thing everywhere! Great memories.....

 

My 88 reg cab... R.I.P.

 

Thanks Jan-yeah it was cool in many ways-it had a 6" lift so I was up there-I had to toss poor Rosie up into that truck every time but she dug it too. She drove it a few times and I thought it was so cool to see her-a 5'2" blonde in the driver seat of a tall fat 4x4.
The motor was tired though-155hp V8 lugging that big old thing around-why they stuck that little 5.0 in such a truck is beyond me. I have more power from a 3.4v6-they have come a long way.
I bought it off a San Francisco cop who actually used it undercover in the Tenderloin district. I think he was hard on it. Anyways I traded it on a '92 Accord coupe which led me to this Tacoma. I've had quite the variety.

 

Oh man I cannot imagine-Chris you could feel the pain when you hit the gas. The 700-R4 tranny I believe saved that motor though. The lockout converter when it kicked in sent relief.

 

i dont have pics of most of my cars, but here we go in chronological order from 16-current (23)
1992 mitsu mirage hatch 1.5 stock
1991 mitsu mirage hatch 2.0T from eclipse -nasty freakin car

2003 hyundai accent 1.6 it was free believe it or not.


2006 toyota tacoma SR5 4.0 just bought it.

 

Techmarc-yeah those T-birds were a nice car-well built and had a nice feel when driving. I was very close to getting a Super-Coupe (supercharged v6) but I couldn't stand the red color so I had to pass.. Boy that thing was QUICK! But the v8 was definately perfect for that car

 

89 Wrangler and a 96 Bronco

 

04 touareg, loaded. doesn't look like much but it was a pretty sick suv. love my taco way more though

 

I'm a huge prelude fan.. had a 1992 prelude as my first car then upgraded to a 2001 SH that I threw a ton of money into and was an awesome car. I miss that thing.





Then I got my DRZ400SM that was the most fun I've ever had on the street.



Then I got a pathfinder which got a sweet 16 mpg and was automatic so I had to get rid of it when I moved up to Alaska. Unfortunately had to sell the drz as well.. But it allowed me to get my tacoma so it's all good.

Pathfinder:

 

The Tacoma is my second vehicle but I used to have a Ford Probe

 

First vehicle when I was 16: 1983 Ford bronco 300CI I6 and 4 speed manual (T-18 transmission I believe). My dad bought it for $300 with low compression in a few of the cylinders. we pulled the motor and had NAPA rebuild it. Awesome truck, especially in 4low and in first gear (granny gear), it could crawl up anything. No pics though

13mpg wasn't doing it for me so I gave it back to my dad and bought my 1991 GMC sonoma base model for 1,300 bucks. only 120k miles on it too.


Drove that for about 8 months then I got my tacoma.

 

Here's the one and only car in my history... dad's old '95 RR



....the taco, even with 285's and SC'ed, gets waaay better gas milage, lol

 

1983 5.0 Mustang Convertible. Given to me by my mom when I was 14, she bought it brand new off the lot....I still have it


1993 5.0 Mustang...bought it and drove the hell out of it, then gave it to my brother as a graduation present



1998 Dodge Dakota S/C....My first bought vehicle. Traded this for my Tacoma

 

First car 1990 Toyota Corolla



Bought a 1987 Acura Legend after boot camp. Had that for about 2 years, then I bought a 2001 Honda Civic.



Went to a 2003 Honda Civic Si. Alot of JDM parts, K20a2 swap, a money pit.



Decided to go for a Honda Element EX 4WD. Great little SUV



Purchased the Tacoma after my third deployment and the rest is history.

holy shit! what happened!?!?!

 

93 4x4.... miss that thing every day. I am looking for another for a trail vehicle... unfortunately, money is not working out right now.


the last car I had. 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe..... biggest p.o.s. ever. It was on jack stands more than I drove it.


Current vehicle. 2010 Mazda 3. Its nice but it isn't a Toyota truck.

 

He was either chasing the bad guys or trying to escape when his cover was blown!

Can you imagine what we'll be driving 20 years from now (when our tacomas are considered 'antique')??

 

Did that Element actually make it up that dirt hill??

Just kidding...

Damn you people who live where there are palm trees!!! Yes, you know who you are.....
