if he hasnt crashed yet, and you still have hair, consider yourself lucky

 

i still can't believe that my dad taught me on his new (at the time) '90 4runner. not only did i learn to drive on it, but i learned how to drive stick at the same time. but it's still around and going strong (it's the second one in my sig). still on the original clutch too!

what's even crazier was that after i got my license, the two vehicles available to me were the '90 runner and and old '75 cj-5. my dad insisted that i drive the runner when he didn't need to drive to work (it was safer, i guess). i know if i were in the same position i wouldn't let my dumba$$ teenage driver touch my new truck.

 

I also learned on my dads(now my 4runner) I also learned in the 87 accord..had to use pillow and telephone book to see out, no joke! I am blessed to have parents that allowed me to use their vehicle, and ended up giving me the best of out 3 other vehicles at the time. I can only return the favor when I have kids.

 

My uncle gave me my 96 4runner which i learned how to drive on, as he used to own a toyota dealership and i've only hit a deer, a telephone pole(sheet of ice w/ no traction whatsoever) and a pos honda civic( she cut me off ). Its a good car to learn on because it has no power (2.7) so don't worry im sure your 4Runner will be just fine

 

Now imagine... if there was a supercharger in your truck!

 

I learned on my fathers 7.4 Liter 454 4x4 2500 chevy suburban... oh the mistakes parents make! omg the memories at the ranch

 

i learned on the 4runner and pick up on my sig and both were my moms . my dad dont drive.... ive been driving with a license for less than a year.

 

Hehe. I learned in a POS 97 GMC Jimmy. Needless to say, I put 6k HARD miles on it, and 2 sets of brakes until it finally bit the dust (138k miles). Carmax gave them $3900 for it! Replaced with an Infiniti QX4-much more reliable!

 

Now you are down to just the phonebook, right?
