    I figured since all the cool kids were doing these I might join in and make one myself!

    Bought her back in Sept. 2016 after wanting a truck since my 1996 Ford Ranger reg cab 5spd. I drove SUVs after that and have always wanted another truck so after I settled into my current job I pulled the trigger on my first Tacoma. I wanted 4x4 but I had to either spend more money or get an older truck in order to fit my budget. It wasn't a deal breaker because we get a good snow in SC every 5-6 years so there wasn't a great need for the extra cost when I can make it down a muddy dirt road in 2wd. This is her the morning after I bought her.

    After much deliberation I decided to trade in Tammy for Barbarella. Same amount of miles, same year model, payment went up like $30 so a win in my books.

    Here's how Barb sits at the moment...
