    2003 Toyota Sequoia 4WD SR5

    The first picture in the garage is mine (only picture I got is one showing the bird poop running from the side mirror to the rear fender...)
    The second is a stock photo (cause I only had one photo and its night so I don't feel like taking another picture)
    You see, I like to think mine is special and rare because its the only one I know of that is a SR5 with those 6-spoke aluminum wheels AND NO roof rack. The reason being is so it can fit into "smaller" car parks and not damage the roof rack or roof.

    It's currently got 73,800 km on it and considering that its 11 years old...it's clearly not driven much at all. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to trade it in way before it's even close to breaking down, since the 2UZ-FE apparently is nearly bulletproof, and I've heard people talk about it easily going past 300,000 miles...

    The cars I've owned in 4 years.

    Started with a Fiat Punto MK I. I tested the nodes on this car very well!

    Then I got into the JDM scene. Was still on school so I was on a budget but had the time to build a car. Bought a damaged Civic and build it from the ground up as a true JDM Civic.

    Then I got an office job and needed something more suiting. And bought this Audi A4 3.0 V6. Fun car but not my cup of tea. Had enormous gearbox problems and sold it.

    Now I'm driving a Jaguar S-Type V8 Sport. Very classy car. Had to get used to the comfort mixed with power and sort of sportiness, but I like it!

    So I have my Sunfire which now has a lot done to it. But just two days ago I bought this:
    IMG_3245.JPG IMG_3258.JPG

    Yep. A 1997 Volkswagen Jetta GT (Vento) with only 99,981 miles on the clock. 5 Speed Manual, brand new rebuilt Volkswagen Golf transmission, great running 2.0L engine. Now how much did I pay for this? A mere $600!!! Nothing like a coworker in need of cash! This is most likely going to be my winter beater. It gives me time to build up my Sunfire in storage. This is the first foreign car anyone in my family has ever owned. Yeah... I really like it. All it needs is linkage work on the shift stick. Otherwise its awesome!!!

    As for my cars, in order, I used to drive:

    BMW 520i E34, 1989 (looked like it was 10 years newer, thanks to 17" Borbet rims). Engine: Gasoline 2.0 I6, 129HP (M20B20).
    IcyO4YG.jpg

    BMW E34 525 TDS 1994 (used to have the same rims as the upper one, I left them after selling the car :p). Sadly, the car got wrecked by it's new owner after 2 weeks being sold. Engine: Diesel, 2.5 I6 143HP (M51D25).

    And here's my current car, BMW E38 750i 1997, I plan not to sell it so it gains worth over time (its quite a rare car here in Poland). Engine: Gasoline, 5.4 V12 326HP (M73B54).

    Future plans: BMW E60 530d, 540i - love these cars :)

    Can anyone guess what both cranks do?

    Stock Pontiac 350 putting out 256hp with the original 2bbl carburetor, (soon to be changed to 4bbl)

    I may only get 15mpg, but I will put up with that to get to drive this car daily :)

    I might try my hand at modeling this car and importing it to Beam.ng some day

    One is for the vent window and the other for the side window? :)

    Awesome car as a daily driver! My parents drive a 68 Chrysler New Yorker as a sort-of daily driver (when it's not raining lol)
