My Previous Line-Up
First I had a 1986 Toyota 4Runner 5 speed 4WD
33 inch tires
Custom bumpers and rock guards made by my dad welded to the frame.
Something like 9 inches of total lift
Custom tube doors also made by my father (metal fabricator for his whole life)
Warn 8500lb winch on hitch for front and rear use
(here i am driving the truck when i was like 8 or 9)
motor threw a rod at 289,000 miles, we could had it completely rebuilt for pretty cheap from a family buddy but we decided to get it blueprinted, balanced and upgraded all the internals and we tried to turbocharge it.
Long story short it got set aside and funds went elsewhere
picked up a 1980 Kawasaki LTD 440 with 6000 miles for dirt cheap and cafe'd it out
winter hit and i needed something other than my motorcycle so I traded my 4Runner for a 1989 Chevy 1500
Built 350ci (~300hp, ~450lb/ft)
knock off american racing rims
full sound system
FlowPro exhaust
Strengthened 700r4
I was able to hang with an Aston Martin V8 Vantage up until 50mph then he started to pull away
anyways sold both the bike and truck and bought my SC300!! I do miss the bike but i am very happy with what i got, even if its not in the best condition its still a major upgrade for me

car before it was a 1992 MR2 Turbo
car next to it is our current 93 Impreza, got a WRX drivetrain almost ready to put in it.
this is my first first car
1983 Pontiac Grand Prix, V8 RWD
then I got a 2G lame 420a eclipse, my first manual car, learned over the weekend, then I commuted in it 4 hours a day the following weeks
and then my NA 91 MR2
then a 2 door AWD Auto 95 Impreza
then I sold both and got a falls apart 1995 Chevy Blazer that I replaced basically every mechanical part on, including the Engine.
sold it then bought the red 93 Impreza Sedan
and then also bought a 1991 Toyota 4runner V6 4WD Auto
only pic I have of it..
Sold that for the MR2 Turbo Initially posted
Sadly I wrecked the Turbo, (hence the silver front end SMG the cars original color) had it professionally repaired, drove it for awhile, but really felt I needed a different car, I think the SC400 is the perfect everyday replacement.. minus the Auto.. which we'll see if I am able to change that in the future..

My first car was actually the family car but i got anxious. I'm still 18 so that should explain the stickers.Sold the wheels to pick up the LS400 and if you look right behind my front wheel you can truly see how low it was from the ground.

Don't judge me...I started at 15 years old....what can I say, the Cutlass was free so I grabbed it.
Started out with a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass V8 Sedan. Hot car. Sold that 9/2010 then got a 1992 Ford Explorer. Sold that 3/2011 then got my 1992 SC400. Still have that and about a month ago I got a 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer.
