    Howdy.
    I'm not an owner yet, but I will be asap by hook or by crook. So far I've just been lurking and I've picked up enough good info to sign on to the roster. Good to meet you.

    I live in California and am searching nation wide for a double cab taco that will shlep my share of the rock band gear while doubling as a cab for lyft or uber on the weekends. Truth be told, I'll probably be living out of the thing until it's paid off so it's super important I find the right balance of reliability, features & price, not to mention curb appeal for obvious reasons.

    Catch me in the sales/lease exchange/aftermarket sub-forums to give any advice if you feel so inclined. I've never leased a car before so if you've got any advice on specific dealerships or salespeople don't be shy.

    Crawl on buddies. Thanks again.
    Jim
