    Hello one and all!

    I'm pleased to have found this forum. I've just taken advantage of the Cash-for-Clunkers program and have upgraded from a used F150 to a brand new Tacoma. So far I LOVE IT! 21MPG in mixed Austin, Texas traffic! :)

    Thanks all for the welcome!

    I spent a while in Burlington at a Tech Company. Is the Vermont Pub & Brewery still open on the square, and are Karen and Vicki still tending bar? Tell them "Josh" from Texas says hello!
