    You're lucky. Wished mine was covered all day. It pains me to leave mine out in the sun all day at work.

    My gen 2 sits in the garage at night in the same spot I parked my gen 1 for twenty years before she went to Taco Heaven. I miss her but the gen 2 is growing on me. She keeps the two Harleys and a Honda company. The GF's Ford Focus does driveway duty. I would let her park inside but the GF would just take that as a sign of weakness.:cool:

    Besides they both like to mark their territory too much!

    My "new" 2009 Taco Sport is typically going to be in the driveway, BUT - this is but one of many reasons I dumped my F-150 to return to the Tacoma.

    The F-150 wouldn't even come close to getting into my garage, which was not a problem until I freaked out when we encounted a hail storm here in Alabama (which is very, very frequent).

    So when I hear of hail heading my way, out goes the golf cart, IN goes the Tacoma. To tell you the truth, it will be a relief. As with most of you, I'm quite obsessive-compulsive when it comes to my vehicles.

    I'm not too fond of them coming out of a hail storm looking like golf balls. Been there - done that.

    Mine is at the bottom of the food chain, meaning only it's job is rough duty and my spiffy street truck and the wifes car get the garage.
    No offense on the Tacoma just pecking order it was the last one bought and has battle damage already.
    I think it likes being the outside truck!!! ;)

    of course
    Bull,

    I have a little 4 banger access cab, obviously not for crawling. But I do have enough space to store my baby truck in garage. I am guessing that the comfortable temp year round when I get in my truck is just a bonus as my expected maintenance costs are far cheaper than a vehicle stored outside in New England.

    Of course your small mind is what it is.:)

    I'd love more garage space but the truck sits outside. This gets inside privileges.

    3 inch body lift, bigger tires, going mild on this one.
    Yes, gotta wait for the check to clear on the 02 so I can put the 07 in there. Trying to keep the 1st Gen clean for the buyer. I also got my camping trailer in there, since they wont let me keep it in the driveway :(

    DCLB in the garage with the highlander. Must back in to make it work for both and have just enough room behind it for the snow thrower and space to squeeze around it, but only a couple inches to the garage door. Sucks though having to pull it out just to get the snow thrower out. It's too dangerous to park it outside under the sugar pine. 2 winters ago we had friends over with a Sienna. Snow dropped from the tree and hit above their windshield breaking the glass and causing a huge dent above it...$4500 in damage.

    2-car garage was a must when we bought. I even measured the garage to make sure my truck would fit. I parked outside in the snow/ice for years but no more! The last rental house we were in had my dream garage. So deep and wide, you could park a small car in front of my truck!

    Great looking Sport. Thanks for posting the pic, especially from that angle.

    I'm waiting for my Tonneau Cover to arrive; was wondering how it would look, and now I know. :)
