    Alright here is the requisite "new guy" post. I just bought my old work truck off my boss. It's a 2003 Tacoma PreRunner Limited Double Cab, Red with Grey interior, TRD package, etc... :D

    The company bought it with 50k miles on it a year and a half ago and after I put another 50k on it driving all over FL, my boss asked if I wanted to buy it since he was trying to get it off his books. Not much of a hard sell there since I was the only driver of the truck and I freaking love it. :D

    So now I'm here to play and learn. Ya'll just be nice to the newbie. :cool:

    The BBS wheels are part of what I love about the truck because they look bad ass. ;)

    Thanks, I couldn't pass up on the offer since I treated that truck like it was my own when it was the companies. Nice 05 you've got there.

    I love TX. My wife is from Beeville. If I ever get the chance to move back out there, we are going.
