new member from south ms

Hello all. I've been looking at tacomas (and tundras) for a long time now but have been driving a paid off vehicle for a few years and was trying to wait a year or 2 longer before i pulled the trigger on a new one. That changed earlier this week when my transmission went out on me. Stumble upon a 2007 Tacoma TRD Double Cab with just under 100k miles and the seller agreed to just under $16k which i think is a steal. Going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait. Look forward to reading alot and posting some.

 

Geez. Wanna buy a 2009 with 23,000 miles? You did O.K...Nobody gives away a Tacoma.

 

Welcome! I am new here and from Ocean Springs too!

 

Welcome (both of you) to TW from Oxford, Mississippi. Oxford is a great small town but, I'd pick Ocean Springs given the choice.

 

You just would not want to pay our home insurance rates down here, Joe!

 

Joe I lived in Oxford for 2-1/2 years while attending ole miss. Couldn't stay out of the woods or away from the square enough to keep my grades up so ended up moving back home and finishing up here. I love Oxford and will be back up when football season comes back around. Would like to make a baseball game. Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to learning from everybody here.

 

welcome from honolulu hawaii (the unofficial tacoma capitol)

 

Yeah Brandon, I think Guam tries to claim that title too! But welcome to y'all. I grew up in MS, but haven't lived there in years. This job will do that to ya. Have fun with your new truck.

 

Welcome to TW !!!!

 

Thanks fellas!

 

Yea Lee I'm a transplant to this area and just needed to be in a certain radius of Memphis so I spent some time looking for a town I like. Oxford isn't what I expected at all from what I had been lead to believe about Mississippi.

That said, I'm way into off shore / deep sea fishing so being a little closer to the coast would be cool. That & the coolness of O.S. is why I'm an Ocean Springs fan. First time I drove through OS I did feel like I was gonna hit a tree limb...

 

Yeah ocean springs is really nice. I'm about 20 minutes east of there.

 

Hell, you're in Alabama.

Pascagoula, no ships there at all...a cool area, I'm fascinated with the likes of Northrop Grumman and the cool shit they make.

You bike or anything at Ox? Clear Creek is a pretty good place for the mid south & I'm also a fan of the OM disk golf course.

 

Welcome

 

Yeah no ships here! Ha. Nah I didn't do any biking up there. Had a couple of friends that did but I don't think it was as popular then as it is now.
