    New member, but not new to Tacomas. Had an '06 OR MT, then a '14 OR MT, and now, an '18 Pro AT! As much as I love this Pro, it's slightly bittersweet. For 26 years I've only owned manual cars and trucks. I love driving standards. However, circumstances dictated that I finally give up on the my stick shift passion and get an automatic. But, every time I step into my new truck, that bittersweet feeling shifts more towards just sweet...

    I had been eying the Cavalry Blue Pro for quite a while. A few weeks ago, I decided to pull the trigger. I figured it would have to be a factory order, or get lucky with the limited dealer allotment every "cycle", so I was prepared to wait a few months. Not a week after I put down a deposit (for a potential factory order), my dealer found exactly what I wanted at a dealership in Albany NY (I'm in western Mass)! All they had to do was trade them a Highlander for it! I ended up paying MSRP with a good trade-in deal. This is my second truck from Balise Toyota in West Springfield Mass - I HIGHLY recommend them.

    I don't plan on many mods. I added Rok Bloks mud flaps (not shown in the pic) and an Undercover LUX tonneau cover. That's it. Maybe some bed mods in the future for toting around stuff and maybe a tent mod for camping. We'll see. Oh, and maybe look into OVTune - been reading up on that a bit lately. I was disappointed to learn the TRD Supercharger was discontinued...not that I need it...but nothing wrong with wanting it!

    Anyway, here she is. My wife calls her Penelope...I don't know why...but it's growing on me :)
