2010 legacy, 04 tacoma pre-runner, 99 ranger, 99 altima

would have kept the 04 and still been driving it if i hadnt got stationed in Colorado...

 

2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7 (7yrs)
1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9l (2 yrs _ 13mpg too much $)
1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2l (4 yrs)
1993 Jeep Wrangler

 

1998 4Runner but we still have it. Didn't have the heart to get rid of it and I dumped too much $ on mods.

 

Starting with my first (none of these are pictures of my actual vehicles but they looked similar):
1966 Mercury Comet Caliente 2-door (wish I still had that one. Looked exactly like this). It had a huge air conditioning unit that sat underneath the dash.


1983 Honda VT500 Ascot (motorcycle)


1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham (mine had the white landau half top)


1964 Ford Econoline Van (mine was brown/tan). The top was a popup camper that laid flat when down. It made it so you could stand up in it. Pretty cool vehicle but it had a nasty 4 speed english transmission that was very worn out.


1990 Hyundai Excel hatchback


1998 Dodge Intrepid (great ride but not very reliable)


2002 Saturn SL

 

In order: 1978 Toyota Hilux Dually, 1988 Subaru GL stationwagon, 1985 Celica GT Hatch, 1973 VW Thing, 1989 Chevy K-1500, 1990 Buick Century , 1999 Buick Century, and finally the Blueberry.

 

2004 4x4 DC trd OR taco with trd supercharger, all pro coil overs/deever leafs (2.5 lift)

my '12 smokes it

 

2006 nissan titan le,mercedes benz c320!

 

88 K5 Blazer on 37's with 1 ton running gear. Love me some Tacoma! Still have the blazer, but the 2010 Taco is my driver.

 

In reverse order (last car first):

'08 Taco
'95 Suburban
'94 Blazer
'08 4-Runner (company car)
'07 Explorer (company car)
'06 Duramax
'03 Tundra
'94 Toyota SR5 pickup
'91 Ford Escort
'89 Mercury Topaz
'67 Chevelle
'76 Datsun pickup
'69 Camaro
'69 LeSabre 400

All have been 2wd except for the Duramax.

 

I was supposed to drive a 2010 sequioa but my wife took that for the family car and stuck me with her accord. Needless to say that didn't last too long (little over a year) before I got into my Tacoma and I'm loving it... even the addiction of modifying it.

 

99 mazda 626...yea..its in the shop with a bad fuel motor

 

I drove a 2009 subaru outback then traded it in for my 2008 toyota tacoma. LOVE my truck.. will never go back to a smaller car ever again.

 

my beloved 2002 X5 V8 with the sport pack and all the options. I really loved that vehicle and drove it for years, but couldn't get the new one - too much crap that will fail after the initial warranty is up.

Transmission (automatic) took a crap and I wholesaled it for $8000, the disappointment was awful.

(long list of other cars / trucks prior and during)

bought the Taco to use as a tool / truck, and plan to tow my other cars with it + for my dirt bike hobby.

 

Most recent car before 2010 taco was a 2000 mercury cougar.

 

2003 SAAB 9-5 ARC wagon in midnight blue.

I liked the car, but I hated that it had an automatic transmission. Fantastic road trip machine, but I enjoy driving my Tacoma around more. All the things that I miss from my SAAB like HID's, heated seats, great stereo, can be added to my Tacoma fairly easily.
