    Not a Taco...
    Hey everyone, I've been floating around the boards reading for a few weeks, finally decided to join and get my hands dirty.

    I have to get myself a new car before the end of the year, I was sold on a Subaru wagon - but I'm leaning more toward a Tacoma more and more. What the hell can you modify on a Subaru sport wagon, and what the hell is the fun in driving the same exact car you bought three years ago?

    I've always liked Tacomas, and 09's look tempting enough that I may just be convinced, this place looks like the right place to finish the job and have me sitting in a new truck before Christmas. :D

    Welcome!!

    Shop, shop, shop around. Test drive everything and bargain for invoice or less!!

    You'll be happy with a Tacoma.

    Subaru's are cool - but Tacomas are more fun because you can tow more toys with it.
