    Just wanted to introduce myself!

    My name is Ronnie and I just picked up 2005 Toyota Tacoma white Prerunner with 66k miles and original owner, which was a doctor. To put it lightly....... I got a killer deal! I've been driving 84,86 and an 87 Toyota Vanwagons, 89 Mitsubishi L300/Delica for the last 5 years and lastly still own super clean 87 Toyota pickup. Love my Toyota.

    The change between my lowered 87 pickup to this 05 RC prerunner is unbelievable! The ride, power, tightness, height and ability to make long hauls to pick up motos throught the west coast much easier on my back ;)

    My comp is currently down and I know posts are useless without pics so please forgive me ha ha ha

    Love, love, love this forum and girlfriend already hates it. Perfect!
    Ronnie
