    Well...I was finally able to get back in a truck after driving a 1996 Honda Accord that came with the wife for 8 years! 2008 Tacoma PreRunner SR5 Sport Package. I am an old Toyota fan even though I have owned other brands. Old Toyotas include 1978 Celica, 2002 Rav4, 2004 Sienna XLE (current) and now the Tacoma (current) I got a sweet deal. I even chose the Tacoma over a really, really nice 2008 Tundra that was $1000 cheaper and had 5000 less miles. I paid $20995 for it and it has 37000 miles. Even the Credit Union gal I financed with said I got a great price according to her "little book". Vehicle is a Toyota Certified vehicle and comes with a full, bumper to bumper 100,000 mile/7 year warranty or at least whats left of it. It has some very nice accessories and even has a very nice, after market camper shell. The shell is a ACT (Astro). I may try to sell it on this forum as the wife is not very fond of it. Me, I am indifferent to it. I look forward to reading and posting on this forum. These forums are a great community resource. I am a member of a Sienna forum now. Yes there is a Toyota minivan forum! Learned how to enable DRL on the Sienna at that forum. Toyota wanted $80.00! Cost me nothing. Just had to put in a fuse! Here are a few pics of the Tacoma.
