    Hi everyone,

    I love my Tacoma Rosy (2008 SR manual, 2WD). In 2009 I bought her instead of a hatchback because honestly it just felt right, and I needed some empowered woman spirit at the time/phase of my life. I've had 200K+ miles with her all over the huge state of California since there, and it's coming up on time soon to pass her off to another worthy owner and upgrade myself with some extra power, space, and features.

    I'm here to learn more about the other models of Tacomas, and how I can grow my knowledge and confidence in using them for more rigorous adventures for the next 8-10 years. I don't want to wait on a boyfriend with a bigger truck to take me places I want to go. :) I think the mountains are calling, and I must go.

    Is there actually a group that physically meets up in So Cal? That would be cool. Taco Truck meet up. heehee
