Just got my 94 4Runner 2weeks ago. My 90 Corolla was at 246,000 miles, and I needed something a little fresher and more competitive for the Los Angeles Freeways. The wife can now drive the kids around town in the Corolla and not have to use the 9mpg Suburban.
Just finished a restoration on my 76 Vette, and I found the info Corvetteforum.com to be invaluable. So I'll frequent this forum for the insider info on keeping this daily driver up.
Here's the pics.

You did a nice job working on that vette. You will find this forum just as invaluable as the Corvette forum I am sure of it. Welcome to the club, some great looking toys you have there!

Time to take a break from the vette and the house and put some time and money into your runner

Nice Vette! Welcome!

What kind of mileage do you get on your 4Runner?

Welcome to the board...I have a 89 Corolla with 258,000 myself. If the darn thing would die, then I'd have to replace it. But noooo, Toyota built it so well that I may have to keep it forever. Love the 'Vette. I guess you had to get something to work on since the Corolla probably never breaks down.

It gets 15 mpg in SoCal freeway traffic w/3.0 V6 auto. It's better than the Vette at 12 mpg and the Suburban at 9 mpg.
Thanx for the welcome!
