I had a 2001 4Runner back in the day, it's not far from the truth. I gave it up at 300k because I didn't want to swap the torque converter and needed 4x4 for snow, and I still sometimes regret selling that thing.

My SIL has a '96. It runs, but I never see them drive it so I have no idea why they have it lol

When I was a little boy growing up in the late '90s, we had an '84 Celica GT 5-speed. Silver, hatchback, pop up headlights. Looked a lot like this

It was the last year the Celica was RWD. I loved that car. I thought it was the coolest car ever. I was heartbroken when it got parked. I'd been told it had 386,000 miles. I'd love to have one of my own, but I already have a 5th gen Prelude, and we have room (space- and money-wise) for only one old project car so I don't think it'll be happening lol

I wanted a Toyota Celica GT-Four so badly for a few years. But the one in the photo is the Celica that I remember from my childhood.
