    Hi all,

    Just picked up a 08 Crew Cab Sport last Sat. and all I can say is wow. I know people normally post pics here, but I'm not able to take any currently since I'm at work. This is my first real truck (had a 95 s-10, but it wasn't 4x4 and handled worse than a car in bad weather so I'm not counting it) and my first vehicle that I'm genuinely excited to drive every time I get in it. I can already tell that this forum is full of useful information and can't wait to get started reading through some of it to get a better understanding of my Tacoma.

    Thanks,
    Jason
