    when I was young, 1975 or so we used to run The pipeline (dirt roads) in a old International scout 4x4. Thru the woods in the winter dragging a kid on a flexible flyer sled on the end of a 50' rope for hours on end. Those were the good times for me.:D

    Harden your bark, there are storms on the horizon.
    18 Years.

    First car was a Fiat - Cancer. Scrapped circa 1997

    Then the beloved '85 S10 4x4 long bed. - Sheetmetal Cancer. Body swap after sold, whereabouts unknown.

    Next came the Hundy. (T100) '95 Reg cab 4x4 w/8' bed....awesome truck. - Sold circa 2007 with 189k on it. Still see it regularly around town.

    Currently, and for hopefully a loooong time ahead I will have the pleasure of piloting my Tacoma.

    I wheeled the S10 harder than either Toyota has seen...and it broke every time. Come to think..I actually wheeled the Fiat harder than 50% of everyday trucks out there have! :laugh:

    There have been some interlopers over the years for short periods. A Pontiac here, an Omni there...but I'm not happy unless there's a transfer case under me. :cool:

    Had a '98 4WD Expedition for about 6 months when I first got my license. Then had a 2wd F-150, and then a Civic, and have now had my Taco for about 2 1/2 years. So right around 3 years. If I can help it, I'll likely not own a 2wd again :D
