Well, I've been thinking about a used '00 or '01 Toyota 4Runner for my first car and I think I might want 4WD because I go to the beach EVERYDAY and there's a lot of sand there, obviously...and I surf, so would the car come with a roof rack? And if you guys have any other good year 4Runners you can suggest them.

thats a great choice, it's actually the same veichle I had my eye on, except a newer model.

A RAV4 would be more fuel-efficient, as would the Highlander. Or why not Subaru Baja or Outback?

4Runners can easily tip over and make it hard to see the blind spot. In the video below the SUV just touched the car or possibly just from her swerving tipped over the truck.
If you hit the sidewalk while taking a sharp turn -which I have seen many newbies do - say good bye to your car and maybe your life.

good idea for it but make sure check eveything before buy the car...

they are good cars - and if it doesn't come w/a roof rack you can always get one put on

That sounds cool and all but you do have to think of the gas prices...

A Toyota is a good choice. 4 wheel drives cost a lot more to maintain than 2 wheel drives.They are dearer on fuel too. Do you need 4x4? Isn't there a carpark at the beach? I doubt a 4runner will come with a roof rack but I'm sure you could get one. There is more than enough room inside a 4runner to fit a surfboard. (make sure it is in a boardbag or the wax might melt and wreck your interior)

what up everyone just wanted to say hi
