    First Toyota truck was a 1990 SR5, and she went 300K!

    I then bought a Chevy, and went broke for about 300K in repairs! haha.

    Now I bought a brand new 2008 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 4X4 Access SR5!

    Sand beige. Gorgeous. I love it!

    I am a former Toyota Master Technician, now teaching. Just finished up her first oil change @ 3500mi., and installed a factory alarm! All I need now are fog lights!

    I know I am a bit late on this, but thank you everyone. I've been checking out the forum daily as of late as my inner car self is thinking of upgrades! Right now I'm trying to figure out what seat covers I want - Next it'll be fogs, then rims & tires!
