    Howdy all. Been a lurker for a long time. I've pulled quite a bit of info from the site, and thought I ought to actually join. It's kind of a shame, really, I've been driving my 99 Tacoma for a decade. Picking it up from the dealership was the first date I had with my wife back on 7-7-07. I've used the site for information for a long time, but the catalyst to actually signing up is my need to get rid of the old girl. (The truck, unfortunately) She'd survived the trademark frame rust for a long time. I'd thought it was mostly cosmetic. However, my father-in-law picked up a pallet of rubber mulch for his playground area and I'm pretty sure he broke the frame.

    Anywho, that's my story. I'm going to go cry now.

    Right now I'm limping around in the Mrs old car. I won't dignify it with a name. I'm going to be looking for a new truck, and maybe find a good home for the good parts of Bumblina. Poor thing only had 122k on her.
