After having a general feeling of "Man, wish I had this truck 2 decades ago!" I was thinking about the path of vehicles my life has taken me through...

I invite you to post a bullet style listing of vehicles that have lead to your current Tacoma!

-1989 Dodge Aries K-car (First Car)
-1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ (Off-Road Master!)
-2004 Toyota Tundra SR5 (Needed to haul stuff)
-2009 Toyota Yaris (Gas is now really expensive!)
-2011 Mustang Premium GT 5.0 (But I want to go fast!)
-2012 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Platinum (Thought it was what I wanted)
-2014 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road (Now the porridge is just right...)

Seriously... that's it, I'm good...
 
1987 Mazda RX7 2+2 auto (I guess it was never really mine)
1997 Honda Civic EX coupe auto (Terribly slow)
1995 Acura Integra LS 5 speed
1993 Mazda RX7 Touring 5 speed

Hmm I didn't know that, well that's interesting. Any pics of the rambler?

Funny you ask I don't have any pics of either AMC vehicles I had. All the others I have some photo's of. However, this is exactly what it looked like, same ugly color. It had a 199 cid straight 6. Auto. But mine was a 2 door.

You know it String! :)
Those old Int trucks were built like tanks. I had the 1100 series, 3/4 ton p/u, 1st gear true granny and even had a suicide knob (aka brodie knob) on her. Straight front axle. Everything manual, steering, brakes. That thing was a beast. It had a steel diamond plate bumper on the back and once when rearended by a Cutlass it pushed me out into the intersection, his car looked like a compact afterward but I only got the paint chipped off the bumper. Maybe .50¢ worth of paint to repair.
The Travelall didn't get as much action as my truck. Always wanted a Scout but never got one. Both had 302 cid engines, Holley carbs. They don't make trucks like that anymore. :thumbsup:

Give me a day or 2 to dig out my old photo albums and scan. Not the best pics since they were taken back in the late '70s early '80s with a 126 Kodak camera. Didn't take alot of pics of my cars back then but do have a few.
