    Hey guys I'm new on the form. I just got MY first car on Monday (3-24-14). I had been searching for about a year for the perfect Tacoma. On Monday I finally found one on Craigslist while sitting in math class. (I'm a junior in high school) I sent the ad over to my dad and we decided it was the one. Out of nowhere my dad said we might s well jump on it so that night we drove drove 9 hours to pick it up. Getting home at 3:30am I was beyond pumped to drive this puppy. Due to the tires being balled I can't drive it until I get new ones. I'm super impatient but want to make her all pretty for the first drive out. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Here she is now and I'll post another once she's ready :)
