    I've needed a truck since I got my license. My cars would say otherwise:

    -98 Volvo s70 GLT auto
    -09 VW jetta sportwagen TDi auto
    -13 VW golf sportwagen 5 speed
    -21 Tacoma TRD Sport access cab 6 speed!

    It was tough to leave the sporty and super functional station wagon world, and VW kept me on the hook for a while with their juicy TDI buyback incentives.... but life just calls for a truck. No more hack roof, seat down, shit out the trunk, stuff so packed its in your face anymore! Woo!

    attached is the pic of my tacoma on day of purchase about 2 weeks ago :). thanks to reading this forum I've got a lot of good ideas and advice on mods, super helpful. so far i have built a dog/all purpose bench for the back, tinted the front windows and fog lights, added some oval side steps, replaced the stock shift knob, and replaced all the interior and fog lights with led (headlight led in the mail).
