    And what's up with Donald Trumps hair?

    So here's my story, hey you clicked on the thread, now you're obligated to read it, I own a 2005 Tacoma Access Cab, which has been very, very good to me. But you know that feeling you get when the mileage starts creeping up and those little things start to go wrong, however normal they are, they feel like a nuisance? So I hit 100K, I gotta get tires, the brakes squeak, the stereo system(factory) CD player keeps skipping all the good parts on my fav songs, and those new car ads just suck you right in...but I think to myself this is a good truck, why don't you spend a few bucks to update it, make it seem newer, it'll save you thousands. So i get the tires, the brakes are okay for now per shop, and I'm happy.
    But how about that radio? Let's get rid of that factory unit and upgrade it. So where do we begin? Google: tacoma radio upgrades> and there is a list of places I didn't know exist: Taco Tunes(which I'll admit, seemed like a stupid name for a restaurant/karaoke bar at first, then I realized what the 'taco' meant) and then this place, which I've been lurking at for about a week, having both "Dammit, i wish I knew that before" moments and 'sweet jesus, I HAVE to do this to my truck" bursts of excitement.
    So here I is, yet another newbie to irritate the oldies. Should i ask all sorts of dumb questions right from the get go just to mess with you? Nah, I'll be good!
    Seriously, this is a great forum you have here, what an unbelievable wealth of information, experience and opportunity, and I'm proud to be a newb here! Thanks for having me!
