    Hi there,

    I'm new to this whole experience (the Tacoma and TW), and I'm younger than most of the members here, or so it seems, but I figured I'd just jump right in and say hi. I'm a programmer at my own self-started company (have been for a few years). I'm currently dual-enrolled in a local community college during my senior year of high school.

    My '06 Tacoma is sort of a hand-me-down, as it was my grandfather's, then my father's, then finally mine, recently. I'm no car expert, at all, so my questions may seem simple at first, until I get the hang of maintaining my own vehicle (I didn't even know I could replace an air filter, or that they needed replacing).

    Here it is:

    That's about all I have for now. I'm looking forward to being a part of the community!
