Well, I am posting this to see what u guys think. I'm 31 now and have a kid and when I drive my car around it gets so much attention it makes me feel like its too flashy for me. Don't get me wrong now...I love the car and it's sooo much fun but I just feel like when my kid jumps out of the back people look at me like "holy cow a little kid just rode in that!" I own a house and have a family now I should just get a normal car and stop with having a daily and having a garage queen that my kid thinks is a waaaaaa zoooooom car. I'm selling the whole swap and putting back to na to sell off everything at a more reasonable price. It will be a sad day when it druves away but I'm sure it will make someone super happy.

I am looking for a four door tacoma to do everything I need and be a perfect daily mix of room and hauling and sporty enough to make me not miss all my cars and all the bs that seems to follow someone into the car scene. I tend to get bored I guess and just want to build something new all the time but every car scene is not different from the other. I just don't like the hating on each other I see everywhere and it is stupid. Even on this site where everyone is supposed to love the celica I see posting all the time where people hate on others for doin diff mod choices. Why?
You guys probably don't know ( some of you do) I have owned about 44 different cars and built some wild rides. I was doing swaps way way back in the day! Way before all the hold your hand how to swap a motor write-ups. Us old guys figured stuff out by trying parts and finding out it fit or not. The young guys i get looks from dont realize us old guys paved the way for all them to just go and read step by step swap threads. Some quick examples of my cars so you know I got a variety in my background...I have Built three mr2s, swapped a few gc imprezas, built a mean wrx, 3000gt, a supra that I put a huge turbo on and enjoyed the targa top! Built a custom turbo kit for a v6 eclipse from scratch. Built a turbo kit for a buddy who had a focus and the list goes on. I've gone drift style and built a s14 240 that I swapped a skyline rb25 motor into and put a nasty big turbo on it as well. I can build anything and I do all the work myself so it don't cost me anything as far as labor. Just parts! But anyway, after all the diff cars i built nonmatter what it was if it was sporty or fast or beat up cause I rallied it in the woods and hauled a huge picnic table on its roof...it was a turbo legacy, um ya. The moral of the story is that Someone will always hate on you or your car when you have something that stands out. maybe I'm going to just blend in to avoid all the negative bs. I will miss the positive tho!
