    Hey everyone... Been checking into this site for awhile, its so helpful. This is my first new car purchase and I'm loving it. I just bought my new '08 Dbl cab, long bed, 4x4 Tacoma a few weeks ago and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience.

    My whole life I've wanted to own a Toyota and finally now I'm the proud new owner of one! Now I actually feel like spending some money on my truck because I want to and not because I have to. I'll be checking in to this site a lot.

    I now live in good ol' Bakersfield, CA. Used to live in MN...Just here temporarily.

    The grill is just the one the dealer had. They didnt have the black truck that i wanted so they threw in the billet grill for free... I really like the blue anyways haha.
