    WHPLSH glad you liked the name

    Yota I actually grew up in "The County" but migrated to Portland after college. I see that you are neighbor over NH.

    Yessir, but I grew up in Eliot and then crossed the river to stay. Portland is nice, haven't been in awhile. Big fan of The State Theater, good music.

    Late to the party but welcome, and congrats on the slider delivery! Portland is a great area, I've got lots of family around there in Westbrook and Windham.

    Welcome from Maine.

    I got rid of a 2004 Sierra (11 Maine winters had taken their toll) this winter for the Tacoma. The Toyota is a far more solid vehicle than my Sierra ever was. I hear you on the Hemi -- I miss that great GM V8 -- but you will get over it. The Tacoma engine has good usable torque, and will do what you need it to do. Plus, it is easier to find a parking space when you are in town, which is no small consideration in Portland.

    Just now seeing this post, I'm Not sure how I how I missed it. Trying to park that 08 quad cab was horrible in down town Portland. The Tacoma is much easier.
