Hey all,

I'm a fabricator/welder from Santa Rosa, CA. So I got married at the end of September and we've been looking for a new ride for me. The old 1996 Honda Accord was getting a bit dated, to say the least, and I'm hopefully going to be getting a steamfitting job in the next two months, which means lots of driving. We love to camp and ski, so I'm pretty sure you can see why we made the decision we did.

I love this thing. We got it off the lot (2019 sport) with only seven miles on it and I already could not be happier. The options are endless. I'm already looking at racks and camping trailers, etc. Snow camping doesn't seem to be much of a problem anymore. Driving to work every morning is a joy instead of a "meh."

Edit: Most importantly, we were looking for something for our two "girls" (our dogs) so they could hang out in the back comfortably while we were on the road. Afraid that they'd tear up the interior, we ended up with a dog hammock (an ibuddy) that seemed to be custom made for the Tacoma and off we went.

Haha I went with the auto because I’ve had manuals for 20 years and our other car is a manual. I figured a break wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Worst case, I always have S mode if I need it.

1200 miles in two weeks is impressive. It sounds like you’re enjoying yourself!
