    Hey Everyone!

    Well after years of driving around the 2006 Nissan Altima that my parents helped me buy right before college, I finally decided to ditch it and get something that I would actually enjoy!

    After years of thinking that my next vehicle would be a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I saw the redesigned Tacoma, and knew that I had to have it! It looks amazing, has all of the off road capabilities that the Wrangler has, and I'd take that Toyota reliability over Chrysler any day of the week! So the decision was easy! Tacoma here I come!

    So after a lot of research I knew that I wanted a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport or SR5, 4x4, Double Cab, Short Bed, in Quicksand. Luckily for me both of my parents and sister have all bought new Toyotas from the same salesman over the last 3 years! Ended up buying a 2016 Quicksand TRD Off Road 4x4, Double Cab, Short Bed off the show room for $500 below invoice!

    All of that was about a month ago. Since then I have logged just over 1000 miles on it, and I am totally in love! I have never been excited to get up to go to work just because it mean I get to drive for 20 minutes :p. I have been stalking these forms since my purchase, and figured that it is about time that I joined! I have already learned a lot here, and I hope to learn a lot more and contribute however I can!

    Now I just have to find the time to go get this thing all covered with mud! ;)
