    The first "truck" I ever owned was a 1998 Jeep wrangler with a 2.5L four banger. I was in love with anything 4x4 ever since. Unfortunately at around 145k the motor blew up.

    I was commuting from Tacoma to Seattle every day for work. I needed a commuter with good gas mileage so I bought a brand new 2009 Chevy Aveo 5 hatch. No power windows, no power locks, no AC, no CD, no cruise no nothing.
    This car did everything I needed it to do and got me to and from work with 35 miles to the gallon.

    But I live in America god damn it and I wanted a truck! I hated that bright ass yellow bastard!

    I just bought a 2008 Tacoma 2.7L regular cab 4x4 with 67,000 miles on it and I'm practically jumping for joy.

    This is it the day I bought it. I literally walked in, signed papers and drove away. I am currently too broke right now to do anything to it. So, it will be remaining stock for a while!
