New "Canadian" in a US import Tacoma

Hi everybody,

I'm Tim, a Dutch immigrant in Western Canada, I've bought a 2005 manual Tacoma last year, US import, so it gives me miles on the clock rather than kilometres - kinda confusing.
I thought I bought it at just under 200.000 clicks, but after conversion that turned out to be just over 3.. Ah well, that gave me a motive to make the vendor go down in his price!

It's a manual 6 speed, one and a half cab (I guess Access Cab is the word?), TRD Off Road the sticker says. It came with pretty rough tires, it looks a bit beat up, and it's a 4x4. My first ever pick up. (Can't bloody afford them in Europe, at least you guys have really cheap cars here, and no road tax).
Funny how something that over in my country would've been considered a Big Pick Up, is just a small one here. But it's been treating me well so far. And I like that not everyone has one. Plenty of trucks in Alberta, but it's mostly Rams, Chevy's and GMC's..
