    maybe, but what I meant is that it has a bunch of camping-oriented built-in features...

    Good point, but the dashboard is still typical late 1990s-early 2000s GM plastic...

    Where was this truck when my dad and I were still in the market for a new Tacoma?

    Her name is Emily, she has a blog called "The Stylish Geek" and apparently her mom thought she was raising a boy because she started a Star Wars fan club in high school...

    @Plain Jane Taco

    @98tacoma27

    I actually tracked her down on Facebook, complimented her on the "Lady Vader" outfit, and showed her a pic of my bumper magnet...

    She liked it!

    And here's a pic I took of the magnet today. It's a bit battle-worn from the two rounds of December snow we've gotten so far...

    More pics of my Taco from December 15, 2017:

    I took these to show Emily ("Lady Vader" from earlier post) the truck that Made the Kessel Run in Less Than 12 Parsecs (it really didn't, but to be fair, my Tacoma did make a liquor run in about 12 minutes)...

    I HATE BUREAUCRACY!!! I hate mental midgets even more!

    My boss sent me to Wawa to pick two Monsters (as in the energy drink) and two packs of cigarettes. Every once in a while, there'll be a new employee who doesn't know me and cards me. Most of the employees there know me and know that I'm more than 10 years past the minimum age to buy tobacco products. Sometimes, I'll get a particularly cunty employee who wants so bad for me to slip up and say they that the smokes are not for me (I do not smoke, but not one coworker I buy smokes for is under the age of 25).

    Today, this one 20-something woman who has rung me up before asks for ID, even though she knows I'm way over 18. I ask, "Haven't I bought cigarettes from you enough times that you know I'm old enough?"

    She acknowledged that she remembers me but says that the law is the law and everybody under thirty must be carded, even if they are a regular customer. I grumbled "bullshit."

    I honestly think some of these employees are trying to fuck with me, because a lot of the other employees who know me don't card me...

    Also, I know the Wawa people know I'm not a smoker and that I buy cigarettes for other people because I regularly get different brands, often at the same time.

    It's a combination of law enforcement being too overzealous and Wawa employees being on a power trip!

    This is one of those days when government at both the local and state level greatly underestimated how much snow was coming...

    The sound guy left his house in Blue Bell at 2:55pm. He just got here to Doylestown now at about quarter to five! It's also worth mentioning that he drives a 2010 Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4!
