Just joined the site, glad to be here. Thanks for all of the experience and wisdom.

Car enthusiast and owner of a 2005 4Runner SR5 V6 with 205,000 miles. In the middle of a moderate restoration, fixing everything that needs fixed. A dream is to run this vehicle for 300,000 miles.

It has been a faithful daily driver for my then-growing family. Kids are out of the house now and the 4Runner is now in part time service.

I am a car guy and enjoy doing as much of my own work as possible. I have some things (some chassis, exhaust and engine) done at a dealer or repair shop.

Some cars I have owned or driven as daily drivers:

1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
1978 Ford F100 4WD 400ci V8 short bed

1982 Jaguar XK6 Series III

Welcome from Wisconsin! That's quite a variety of vehicles!

With proper maintenance, 300K should be easy.

XJ6 for the interior and exterior appearance

Miata for the fun to drive aspect and simplicity, easy to throw around
