    Hi TW members,

    like many others have once done...I finally picked up my first TACO and first Brand new car. :D I had been driving a 98 eclipse before this for 7 years and it was finally time to make my move. Thanks to all those that provided their opinion on where to purchase a truck. Although the ROAD TRIP suggestions were really tempting, I found one of the last MGM Taco's in SoCal until the Japan situation gets better. I purchased it for $32k out the door after taxes and license. It was a long wait but its finally here. Thanks again guys and here are some pics I took yesterday as soon as I got it home...

    I noticed that the lights are now colored in dark gray on the inside...almost like a BHLM. I was comparing them to the 2005 lights and it looks waaaay better.
