    Missing My Last Tacoma --- Had 11 Toyota trucks in the past and many other Toyota cars too.
    .
    IRRC, last time I went to the HAI was in early-mid 1990's when it was in Miami.

    Found my HAI t-shirt and sweatshirt the other day from that convention.

    It has been a good expo convention for a long time.
