    Hello all,

    My name's Tevis. I'm 21 years old and reside on the Cherokee Indian Reservation in North Carolina! I have owned a Tacoma prior to the 2012 that I currently own. My other Tacoma was a 2002 that my brother bought brand new and then I got it when I got my license.

    In October, I purchased a White 2012 Tacoma Double Cab w/ the TRD Sport Package. Within the next couple of weeks, it will have leather, NAV, and possibly some new wheels!

    Unfortunately, a short SIX days after getting my Taco, I was pulling into my driveway and hit a section of mud that caused my truck to slide into the back of my Jeep Wrangler 4-door. The Jeep has only a dent in the bumper, however the truck was pretty messed up. It has been about 3 weeks and I am supposed to get the truck back in a day or two! I will post pictures with this intro as well as on my profile.

    If you have any questions or just simply want to chat, feel free to send me a message! :)

    I personally love the windshield being tinted. I can hardly tell any difference from inside.

    Believe me, I was sick to my stomach from the moment that it happened until the next day when they came to tow it away! That's what really sucked. . . that I had to look at it every time I went outside. I finally covered it up with a tarp. That helped a little!

    Hey everyone,

    I went by the collision center today and was relieved to see this!

    I get to pick it up tomorrow (11/30) or Thursday (12/1).

    I am beyond excited as I will be taking it on vacation this weekend.
