2008 4Runner Sport 4x4

I picked it up especially for shooting. My car would barely make it into the desert, and I have a Winchester hard case that never fit in my trunk. So I had to transport it in the back seat. No more troubles anymore :D
 
Well gas has forced me to leave my 98' 4runner in the driveway. Now I truck it out to ranges in the area with my wife's old 94' Honda Civic Coupe (Pink Gentleman, That's right I take a Pink Civic to the range)
 
Well since its a bit of a drive down the highway me and my g/f's dad usually take his car... and yes i picked out the rims lol... all you bow tie lovers should see the sound systems I put in this thing.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Low mileage and solid. Sense I take multipule rifles and gear to my private range it beats a pick up all to heck. Essex
 
97 Geo Metro, holds my rifles & pistols & ammo & bench rest. Gets 40+ mpg and its paid for, I'm not really conserened with boosting Exon/Mobil profitts any higher.
 
I load up my "arsenal" in my Prius Hybrid with the "Kerry '04" and "Visualize World Peace" bumperstickers.

Man does that confuse the hell out of them at the range! :)
 
-'05 Dodge Ram QC Hemi, Black
-Superchips programmer
-33" Nitto Terra Grapplers
-17" Procomp 1069's
-2" Tuff Country leveling kit
-3x5" Cafepress Gadsden sticker on the back windshield :cool:
 
2004 Hyundai Sonata.

Trunk on this thing holds every gun I own and has no trouble accomodating my Mosin 91/30 to be laid in straight and flat. I've loaded 4 others in the car with myself, ammo, and long guns in the back with no problems
 
I tell her I need a part for the emission/smog system and the shop will have to test several sensors to determine which is causing the problem ... might take a couple hours.

Sometimes California helps without knowing it .... tough air quality standards here make this game work.
 
Actually, I had an awakening when I was driving my modded S2000 with a Mosin hanging out the passenger window...it was definitely time to switch to a truck. :evil:
 
I prefer to take my 97 mustang because of the distances I have to drive to get to ranges but some of the gravel roads are so rough I will take my truck. The mustang is lowered about an inch and half and it is a convertible so the cross braces bottom out real easy.
 
I only have one truck, but I bought it specifically because it can go anywhere and do anything.

It's an '05 Toyota Tacoma Sport 4WD. I love it.

Here it is changing targets on the 200 yard range.

And here it is on the beach at Spring Creek Offroad Park.

Oh yeah. Good thread. I've got a compact right now. It's good. And yes it is paid for too. What a relief.
But my next vehicle is definitely going to be an AWD or a 4x4. Speed is good but handling is even better.
 
Interesting method of keeping the thread on topic. :)

I used to drive my '90 Toyota pickup (250K+ miles) and she still runs great...but I've recently been taking my Mazda 6 as it has a huge trunk, can fit more people in it, and there's no offroading necessary to get to my 'range'.

Of course, it looks more green than black right now.

Send the NRA the amount of money you would spend for 1 trip to the range.
