    Nothing major or fancy. Just stuff to make it work better for me. Running boards, seat covers, BakFlip
    Present rig...2011 AC 4x4

    Before that:

    2009 Tacoma AC 4x4

    2007 Tacoma AC 4x4

    2005 Tacoma AC 4x4

    Anybody see a pattern here?

    2004 Ford F250...the F250s got gradually worse every year for quality and dependability...switched to Tacoma and never been sorry. They're a work rig and a write off so every two years they're gone. They're usually pretty thrashed by then anyway.

    2002 Ford F250

    2000 Ford F250 etc etc etc etc.

    Why would you need to trade in a Toyota every two years? Oh, are they leased?

    1. 1994 Acura Integra GSR: my very first car, but was stolen from me... Loved this one.
    [​IMG]
    2. 2003 Honda CRV LX: While looking for a car since mine was stolen, my mom decided that she wanted a new car, so I just took this one to get me through college.
    3. 2003 Yamaha R1: Bought this from ebay just as a starter bike. Ended up selling it later after a couple months of riding.
    [​IMG]
    4. 2006 Honda CBR 600RR: Bought this a year after I sold the R6. Sold this a couple of months later as well. Definitely a nice ride, miss this one too..
    [​IMG]
    5. 2006 Lexus IS250 AWD: Drove this around for awhile until I decided that I wanted a higher car with more room for a back seat and larger trunk space for my Video equipment. Not a bad snow car either.

    a nissan 240 with the jdm sr20 (2.0l dohc turbo) swap, running 13psi, it made 278 RWHP in a ~2450lb rear wheel drive car, lots of fun, but dirt cheap insurance and taxes. i really miss that one

    then i got a bmw 325ci coupe, 5 speed, black. gorgeous car, but boring as hell (not fast and no off road capability)

    then i got a 03 gmc 2500 duramax

    now i have a taco!
