    It was totaled :( back around 2010. Went through a series of other cars/trucks before I realized there was no replacing the Tacoma

    Blasphemy. These had a 3 speed. That's it, no overdrive. A 5 speed manual would have been great with the 258 inline six. My wife learned to drive this manual while I was overseas. Took this one to Pismo Beach. 013.jpg

    Typo.
    I can't see myself owning anything but a Toyota or lexus in the long-term.


    I don't like honda or acura. I borrowed a family members 1996 prelude and it overheated and left me stranded on the highway.

    Well damn! Chief! Hell of a career! I think I arrived in Alameda 1 year after the closed the NAS here. Arrived as a fresh E2 from Boot in 97.

    I retired in 96. They put in a cardiac pacemaker in 94 and I was lucky the Doc at Oaknoll hid my file so they wouldn't kick me out before 20. If you REALLY want Twilight Zone a cousin by marriage was in charge of Ground Maintenance at NAS Alameda when Dolittle's Raiders embarked on the Hornet.

    My first truck was an 87 or 88. 5 speed. Loved it! Sold it to a friend at 275,00017B0E8D6-F6BA-4FAF-956E-E21473CCA953.jpg
