Hello Toyota Nation forum members.

I have lurked here looking for info on one thing or another and decided it was time to finally sign up. Obviously I am new here, but not to forums in general or to Toyota. Membership seems quite knowledgeable, nonetheless I hope I can help someway in the future. Lastly, I promise to try and search before posting.

Currently in the driveway: 2010 Camry SE, 2008 4-Runner Sport, 2002 MR-2 Spyder (with JDM hardtop).

Previous Toyota cars (in no particular order): 2006 Camry, 1995 Lexus ES300 (dressed up Camry), 1991 MR2, 2002 4-Runner.

Plan to be acquired: 2011 Tacoma, model TBD.

Welcome aboard!

Sounds like you own and have owned some nice vehicles

. If you've got any pics, we'd love to see them!

Have fun here at TN!

Thanks.

I'm not much at taking auto photos, but I did post two OK-level pics of my Spyder in the gallery should you wish to see.

In terms of vehicles, Toyota is just one of the brands. I do really like Toyota engineering and design (wish they would have stayed in Formula One), but regardless of how my driveway currently looks, I'm not really the fanboy type.

I've also owned Subaru (SVX), Acura (CL 3.0), MB 300SD, two Fiats (one 124 Spyder, one 124 Sport Coupe), Volvo wagon (245 - absolutely hated it), VWs (Super Beetle, '62 van, and a Karmen Ghia); and cars/trucks from virtually all US OEMs (curiously, the most and least favorite were from the same year: favorite=65 Buick Rivera GS while worst=65 Mustang 289). Immediate family also has Nissan, Toyota, Suzuki and Mazda cars/trucks.

I drag raced the MOPAR brand in the late 60s.

Forgot to mention I also own a 1975 Norton Commando, Roadster model.

Probably more than anyone ever wanted to know, but...
