New to us 2004 Toyota Avalon.
Wife is tired of 17/21MPG SUV, so getting her back into a 24/29MPG sedan.
She isn't a car person at all, but has been talking about an Avalon a lot lately. Did look at newer generation, (same as 2010 Avalon we owned previously) but all (local ones <$10k) had nasty & abused interiors and notorious dashboard cracking/peeling/bubbling issues. Thankfully this one came up a couple hours away for $4.5k just at the right time. Reminded me how much I missed the acceleration growl of a healthy 1MZ-FE. And all that wonderful legroom.

JDM 1989 Toyota Soarer GT Twin Turbo L second generation
How close to stock is this? I'm assuming pretty close. Yet it's giving off HARD bosozuku vibes, but in a good way. Also reminds me of the Infiniti M30, which I never see on the road anymore. I think last one I saw was around 2012...
The only thing I changed are the wheels. OEM wheels were 15x6, these are 16x7. And I added side skirts and rear spoiler, custom made but mimics the OEM optional skirts and spoiler. Everything else is stock. Yes, the Infiniti M30 was also known as the Nissan Leopard in Japan, it was the arch rival of this Toyota Soarer. The Soarer won in the sales war by almost 5:1 The Nissan Leopard is no lame duck in Japan , the 3L turbo version had over 250hp , unfortunately the US market one never came with a turbo and addition of EGR and other smog equipment brought down the US market version to 162hp, leading to it's failure.

Went up a mountain trail today.
2009 Honda Pilot. Just turned 221k. The most reliable vehicle I ever owned. Gave it a wash, it deserved it after all this icy "snow" mess in NC.
From back in the early fall, not long after taking delivery of the Kodiak, lots of blue here lol

Beyond the limits of the 3.9 unless I leave it in drive, maybe I should. Seems to have less power after the timing chain replacement, but no leaks that’s a win!
At my first job ever we had a 3.9L Gold/beige Dakota. It got torture tested daily, for years. Part runs always included a drift session or few... Scrap hauls meant it was overloaded with metal body parts and/or engines... Yet it never missed a beat. Cloth seats were quite comfy too for the longer trips/hauls.

What truck is that trailer / bed from? I'm guessing a 60's or early 70's Ford?
60’s Chevy.. 65 or 66 maybe can’t remember. Not very good with the coils.
