thats a funny question. i was really into honda civics. (ya those lame rice rockets) i was set on buying a civic si for quite some time. well i also had some friends that owned trucks. when i was heading up to a swiming hole here in town once, you pass bear hole the trail starts to get a lot more rocky till the last hole, browns hole. nothing that a civic couldnt make but it would suck driving and if lowered you prob wouldnt want to do it. so i was swimming all day and then headed back down with my friends. my buddy was driving SO SLOW (honda accord) cause of the rocks along with all the other cars. well heading up the trail was my friend and now roommate tj. he was haulin ass up the trail in his 83 chevy like it wasnt even a thing. i was like that is SOOOO SICK. i think from then on it was a turning point. i wanted a truck and my favorite style was a toy pickup and i already drove a 85 toy camery at the time. i really liked toyota. so i was set on building this truck that this guy in my grade had in high school. some red toyota (hmm haha) with a lift and 35s. long story short he ends up having to sell it right after we graduate and now its been in my hands ever since and i dont think its going to have any other owner.
