    A little something every chance we get.
    Hi and thanks. This is actually my fourth Tacoma, and this one will have to carry us into retirement. It is a compromise truck, which will replace my wife's RAV when the lease finishes soon. I have a KIA Niro, which we both love, and that is the luxury hybrid. We decided that a indestructible Tacoma that won't get driven a ton of miles is the perfect second. So, my used 2007 PreRunner enters the picture. I have had 3 previous to this, the last a 2008, but I traded them back for new ones and never lost a dime!
    So, my adventure for this one is to make it one that we both can love, and my wife will feel as comfortable as I do. It had all the Car Fax maintenance, and has never been more than 100 miles from this as home. It needs some TLC fix up, but is mechanically sound. So, I am joining to look for interior upgrade tricks, maintenance suggestions for older vehicles (it has 190K, but will never see more than 10K a year from no on).
    Already followed several threads, and this looks like a GREAT community!
