    Up until recently (2 weeks now) I was driving my Taco 300miles a week for the last year and a half. I have been off-road (light) a few times and have a handful of modifications including a 2.5" lift with no issues what so ever. Mine is a 2008 and I have 57k miles right now.

    Yeah, my taco is my DD, only part that sucks is the gas I burn...but it's a truck. I love it and wouldn't get rid of it for anything!

    I went and test drove a 370Z and granted it was an auto with paddle shifters I was pretty disappointed in the car! Just seems "cheap" on the inside, but it looks so sexy on the outside.
