Pardon me if this has been done, but I'm definately a car nut (special soft spot for old British sports cars), so I wanna see what you all drive. My 91 Toyota 4Runner, she's made mostly of rust, has over 420k km, drinks gas like it's going out of style and often needs some coaxing to go into either first or reverse, but dear lord this truck has gotten me into some beautiful, remote places I didn't think would be possible. Really needs a lift and some bigger tires, but sadly probably not going to be done for a while.

We have something in common. I almost bought an MGB GT but realized I needed a daily driver,...not a hobby . I really want to put together a Caterham 7 one day and race it. Those things are like go karts on steroids. It's definitely on the bucket list.
Here are my rides.
This one hauls gear.
This one gets me back and forth to work. (normally the seat is adjusted a little higher,...my wife was riding it prior to me taking a picture of it)

I really like those third-gen RX-7s. My first car was an 88 RX-7, great little car but I just couldn't afford the nearly constant maintanence at the time. RHD Japanese third gen RX-7s have become quite common in my area, but almost every single one of them has some hideous wing on the back, tacky carbon fibre hood, grotesque chrome rims, and ridiculous ground effects kits (usually dented and scraped to shit and hanging off).

I've always wanted an MGB-GT too (or a Triumph GT6), somewhat pratical-ish for a British sports car, and looks reminiscent of the light-years out of my price range E-type coupe. I almost bought a totally clapped out MG Midget a couple of years ago, some of my friends basically held an intervention and told me buying it would be the biggest mistake of my life. I really want a 7, either Caterham or original Lotus. My love of British sports cars is especially strong when it comes to Lotus, which I share with my dad. What that means is that I get to drive this sexy car sometimes. 73 Lotus Europa Twin-Cam, it`s an absolute blast to drive.

They are pretty rare up in New England, but I totally agree that almost every one I see has been hideously riced out. I never understood that, because they were such beautiful cars as is. I took it to several car shows where people were amazed to see one that was still bone-stock. They all said they hadn't seen one like that in almost a decade. All of those bodykits and huge rear wings just make me

lamer joke of the day.
