    a family friend of ours has been thinking about buying tacoma for a while. i talked with em on and off about tacomas and how awesome they are and i guess i convinced her because yesterday she finally bought one. its a red 08 DC 4x4 and it looks freakin sweet..i knew she was looking at one the past couple of weeks but i had no idea how awesome it really looks! :D

    fixed: there's a pic further down the page..
