Why in the fuck are you buying an oem windshield? Go to any glass shop and get an aftermarket one, that will last just as long, for $300.

I have a very hard time justifying almost 1k for a piece of glass that will have rocks thrown at it the minute I drive out of the shop. I'm an oem parts whore through and through, but windshields are the one place where aftermarket makes more sense.

Fuuuque... (see what I did there DeerMeat?)

I finally finished up my taxes. Looks like I didn't give Unkkkle Sam a no-interest loan this year. Quite the opposite.



Sooo, see ya guys! I'm off to the plasma banks to pick up some extra cash...

Cuz...the FX50 has sensors and a camera mounted on the windshield. If it was just a plain-jane glass windshield on a regular car, I wouldn't even have gotten coverage on it.

I think I know my future car. This car makes me salivate.

435hp/400ftlbs
19" wheels
Performance limited slip rear diff
6 speed manual
RWD
Recaro seats
Sport package with beefed up suspension bits





















And of course, for when I get bored of 435hp/400ftlbs, I'll pick one of these up:



Oh, by the way, the kit on the left? Yeah, it makes 840hp and 610ftlbs

My fondness for the 4Runner started with the 3rd gen. Likewise the similar looking 1st gen Tacoma. I eventfully grew to appreciate the 1st gen 4Runner for it's quirky removable top ways. The 2nd and 4th gen did nothing for me though but thankfully the 5th gen regained some of that passion, just in time.

Not the friendliest vehicle for conserving gas though.

My parents had a base 97.. 4cyl..5speed.. 2wd.

I didn't care for it. It was cramped and rode awful.

I want an 06-09 Sport or Limited or 14+ Trail Edition if money wasn't an option. I'd be content with a last gen.

Good choice, the Accord.

Then again, makes sense since this is an Acura/Honda fanboi forum.
