Are you a manufacturer fanatic?

I used to considered myself a GM guy, but my list is dominated by Toyotas. When it came time for a new truck, I chose a Tundra even after considering and driving all the full size trucks at the time.

84 Toyota Pickup - single cab, long bed, manual tans, windows, and steering. This truck made me a man.
86 Toyota Pickup - paid $300 for it and it ran like a top. Chopped it up to build a race truck, never finished it.
89 Toyota Pickup - beater prerunner. Paid $4k for a hack job as a dumb high school kid. Even worse, I sold my Camaro to buy this piece of shit. The only shining light is had I not done that, I never would have been a fabricator and likely wouldn’t know any of you fine gentlemen.
67 Camaro - first car I bought with my own money and the only car I regret selling.
08 Charger RT - first car I bought new. Couldn’t afford it and faked pay stubs to get it. Real Charger level shit.
08 Charger SRT8 - first car I bought after graduation.
95 Ram 2500 Cummins - it was cherry and I would have kept it if it was 4wd.
95 C1500 - possibly my favorite truck I’ve own. Started out slammed with a crazy paint job, ended up as a super clean fakerunner.
94 C1500 - solid prerunner, no cage though.
91 Explorer - my aunt gave me this. Only Ford I’ve ever owned, though I currently have a 21 F150 work truck.
11 Tundra - sold to buy a ring for the now-wife.
05 350Z - got the car for free from my bro in law. Built it into a decent track car and would have kept it if I had the space when I bought the V.

Currently own:
01 Tundra - built prerunner. I’ve had the truck since 2016 and it works well.
14 Tundra - bought new and probably will never sell it. If I sell my 01, this truck will get a blower and possibly LT.
10 CTS-V - blown, manual, sedan. By far my favorite vehicle I’ve owned.

I'm a GM guy through and through even my jeep has a GM engine, although I seem to work on mostly tacomas for some reason, most of my R&D has been put into one of my two personal trucks, although I recently got a 2nd Gen tacoma to work with from a close friend of mine, I also should be getting an OBS F150 to do some R&D on as a partial trade for building the tacoma.

'94 Corvette - Clapped out, 6 speed manual needed a rebuild but no parts availability/expensive, sold to purchase the sierra

'07C GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 Z71 - Current daily/work truck, basically just hauls steel and drops off packages, parts runs.

'74 C10 Cheyenne Super - Resto still on progress, haven't had time to work on it with client cars and trying to keep up with production and R&D

'70 Jeep CJ5 - Still in a million pieces, have full drivetrain, need shocks, need fixture table to build chassis and some other small parts/pieces

'72 Triumph Spitfire - Huge POS, hate the wiring in these cars, the whole thing has 3 fuses and no relays, 1200cc tractor engine with 60ish hp in a sports car, oh and they like to blow up if you rev them too much, I have a complete 3SGE/trans setup for it but need time to put everything in the car

'16 Polaris XP Turbo - Got this thing as a cheap desert beater, has 6300 miles and is pretty clapped aesthetically, I pretty much just prepped the stock suspension and rebuilt the clutches, and built a cage for it and called it a day, although I am now redoing part of the cage that I wasn't huge on when I built it initially.

'01 Kawasaki KX250 - Back when the KX250 was cool, now its a four stroke. I love this bike, but the reality is I am a desert/singletrack enduro rider and this thing sucks for that. Its geared too short for the fast doubletrack sections and its geared too tall for the slow singletrack sections, also the powerband hits like my old Banshee.
