    Greetings from Upstate SC.

    Lifelong BMW fan, especially the M's and have a few in the garage. I know this is of course a Tundra forum, but here are a few pictures:

    That's enough BMW material. As you can see, I'm very passionate about these cars and thoroughly enjoy them. They're all manuals and naturally aspirated, which is how I like them. Another vehicle I've had forever is this 1997 4Runner, which I bought back in 2011 for $2800. It probably had over 300k miles and never needed anything major (cluster was replaced at some point). I use it to haul stuff, drive in bad weather and take my dogs to the Rover sitter when I'm heading out of town. It's been a great work horse!
    [​IMG]

    For the past year or so, I've been just itching to replace it with a 3rd gen Tundra. I looked at everything from new vs used, all colors under the sun, trim levels ect...
    Eventually, I settled on a 2016-17 Tundra Platinum in either white, red or blue. I plan on keeping this car for years and years to come.

    I found this truck in Atlanta, and just brought it home today. It's a 2016 Barcelona Red Platinum with a few TRD parts already installed. No giant plans apart from LED headlights in the future, and maybe some SCS Ray10's :)
    Thoroughly happy with my purchase and glad to finally join the family. While I'm a die hard BMW guy, I'm just as big of a fan of how dead reliable Toyota trucks and SUV's are. And the fact that this truck is so comfortable is such an awesome bonus. Here's one picture on the way home:

    Awesome! I used to have an e30 convertible myself! It was an 89 Alpine White on Beige. It was the reason I picked up the Z4M Roadster because I missed top down driving!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Been driving nothing but the Tundra all weekend and love it. That TRD exhaust is addictive!

    I'm super lucky to have so much room. It took a while to find this house (my first one) and have very much put the garage to use. Unfortunately, it doesn't have power, but one day it will.
    Love the wall you got there. Quite a collection!
    I've personally always had a soft spot for Imola Red E46 M3's!

    That's unbelievably clean and modded exactly how I would do it. Any interior shots?
