    Hey Guys,

    :)

    I am fairly new to the site and previously owned a 2011 Taco TRD Sport, but I wrecked it due to falling asleep at the wheel intoxicated by Xanax and alcohol... and hit a tree at about 55 mph or so... RIP TACO:(

    CHECK THIS THREAD: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sobriety-one-year-later-please-read.297089/page-11#post-10451476

    I haven't touched a drink since my accident March 17th, 2014.


    I broke my Right Femur, suffered a concussion, fractured my left wrist and hip, was pulling glass out of my forehead for about 9 months...

    Just bought a 2008 Taco prerunner access cab


    ANYWAYS I was going about my business and saw a dude with a TW sticker on the back of his truck. ( same truck as mine -black access cab prerunner

    I was like "you on TW bro?"

    He chuckled and laughed walked over and asked me if I was and of course "yes".

    ***[keep in mind I have never met anyone from TW ever and had no idea that it was @tcBob who I was talking to]***

    So me being unaware I thought I was just talking to some random dude until he was like "I'm tcBob" ... I was like "whah... no your f**king with me...?" He was like "ya it's me" :woot:

    LONG STORY SHORT

    Coolest guy I have ever met...

    Gave me some TW stickers and talked truck with me

    The guy is a boss!

    I love the idea of putting the TW logo on the windshield! Never would have thought of that. Waiting for tcBob to send me a decal. :)

    Congrats on the new truck. Stay away from the booze and Xanax. No excuse for driving under the influence. Obviously you've paid the price so I won't say more! ;)

    Enjoy your new Taco!
