Yess!! Finally have a good excuse for a new used truck

[malbojah]

Oh happy days!! Driving in to work today, took a left corner into shopping complex where I work, slid on the still falling snow and hit the 8 inch high curb with the front right wheel. Now it's all outta whack. Either I bent the strut or the frame. Figures through, not a scratch on the rim nor did I blow the tire. Goodbye 94 Saturn SL2, hello Toyota Tacoma??

ha, good luck! I went looking for a new truck today, and every single one I looked at was automatic! How can they even call them trucks if they're not standard? Sheesh!

Ummm...because manual transmissions suck in a truck?

heretic! automatic trucks are not trucks at all! then they're pansified minivans with two less rows of seats!

Actually, my ideal truck (for what I need) is a 6 cyl, auto, ext. cab, 8 foot bed

If it'll make you happy, I did decide on a 1998 F150 w/43.7k miles on the clock

And if it will make you happy, I ended up getting a stick

Yup, I looked at Tacomas before I bought my F-150. Small, cheap interiors was my overwhelming impression. I love my F-150 though.

Edit: Congrats on your new truck :beer: Ex cab? 4x4? Pics?
