    Well I finally joined this forum after using it plenty of times. A little bit of my background. So my Tacoma is the 2nd truck and vechicle i've ever owned in my life. At 17 I bought a 95 Ford Ranger Splash with my hard earned Publix money and loved that truck. It treated me well because it lasted up until last year (that's 14 years since i'm now 32). I really had my sights set on a F150 but after shopping around, reading reviews, and then finally taking a Tacoma for a test drive my heart was set. It was a tough transition as all I could picture this moment as was Kyle Busch giving me a high five. :| Anyways I've owned my truck for a year now and love it to death. Used this forum plenty after getting it and figured it was time to join, so again, hi everybody!

    Me leaving for college in my old ranger about 10 years ago:

    Good times in the old ranger:

    Lol, I just found this picture of right after I got my Tacoma and right before I sold my old Ranger. I think they had a talk and made peace with one another!
