    I bought a 1998 Tacoma new and about a decade and a half ago the starter went out. It has 180000 miles on it so, really, it's not yet broken in. At least it still runs the same as it did when I bought it.

    Welcome!

    By why a lemon? Most would be envious of your '98 and the reliability.

    My weak attempt at a joke. I love my Taco. I does get annoying when people stop me and want to offer cash on the spot for it :)

    My 08 is approaching ~90K, and my one malfunction was a burned out brake light bulb. What a lemon!
