    2017 White Tacoma SR 4x4 V6
    Also technically the first vehicle I've bought with my own money! Drove around a Camry my parents bought me for 7 years.

    So I was in the market for a new vehicle as my parents wanted the Camry back. I had a few pre-requisites:
    - I wanted to stick with Toyota for their reliability as I wasn't the nicest to that Camry but it never gave me any problems since I kept up with maintenance.
    - I didn't want another sedan because I wanted a little more trunk space/utility.
    - No leather because animals.

    So that literally left me with a RAV4, a few of the hybrids, and the base model Tacoma which I ended up with. Not an off-roader at all, but I wanted a V6 and the only way to get it in the SR to my knowledge was to have 4x4 as well. Having that option does make it tempting to at least try it once, though. Anyway that was my intro! Here she is, 10 days old and freshly tinted as of yesterday.
