    I got tired of stuffing myself in a tiny sports car every day (I know, Boo-Hoo, right?) and needed something I could use to bring home some plywood, so I sold my Elise and picked up a 2004 Double Cab this weekend. I'm guessing it's the Prerunner Limited from the options. Needless to say, it drives a bit different than I'm used to.

    I'm really looking forward to being able to do some mods to it. I knew that I would sell the Elise one day and was always worried about resale value, but I'm keeping the Taco forever so I can do whatever the hell I want. I love the forums already. The only thing I've done so far is take out the center console/accessory ports to clean them up, but all the pics and instructions were here to save me loads of frustration.

    welcome to TW!! I remember driving my friend's exige 240s and that was a fun car to drive. I'm a small guy but I thought that car was fairly tight.
