New But Old

I bought my first new car in november of 1984. It was a 1985 Toyota Pickup. Drove the PEE out of it and loved it, but had to sell due to medical issues.

Well, I'm back in a Toyota Pickup. Just bought my Super White (Read that "Plain Jane") access cab 2014 Tacoma. Happy as a clam, but wow what a slug compared to my last vehicle, a 2012 Scion xB. I bought 2 of them in 2012, one for me, one for my wife... Found that a year and a half with no truck is killing me, so I went and traded for the truck.

Hopefully I can learn to do mods through the channels here. If not, I may have to learn 'em on my own and share with others.

I'm a Hobby Powder Coater (well... I'm in the hobby for about 15 grand now, so I guess I could move up and just call myself a Custom Coater), so anyone in the area that needs some of that done, let me know. I'm in Garland, TX.

Howdy folks...

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Awesome! Congrats!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome!!

slug compared to a scion xb!?!
dang... i used to have to floor my friends xb if a decent cross-wind came by, just to keep foward momentum

 

Mine was a 2012 xB. They have a 2.5 or 2.7 in them (same thing as a 2000 Camry, I believe), and they do Scoot. I still have an xB. My wife's car. She would kill if I tried to trade hers in... I love the xB, but Gotta have the truck. Now if I can figure out how to get steering wheel controls for the radio and stuff without breaking the bank... I guess If I weren't such a cheap skate, I could have had more bells and whistles... Shoot. I got one with no Keyless entry. Pretty much the base model Tacoma Access Cab.

Thanks for the kind welcomes.
