Goodbye Tacoma


Well Brian and I seem to get on new adventures very quickly. A few wekks ago I had a fit driving to the Ranch, I told Brian the Tacoma was just too small, and I couldn't take it anymore. The dogs sitting on my lap trying to look at the window, since we don't have a back seat. Now uderstand this is the pickup Brian thought he would have forever, and ever... I just couldn't, our family was too big, and what if it grew more (meaning another dog) not a baby... I just couldn't imange taking a month off and traveling in the itty bitty Tacoma. So hearing my arguement he decides we should purchase a new Tundra. Now I don't mind the look of the new Tundras but the price ticket on them weren't cheap so I had my doubts. After selling my car, getting a tax refund and the rebate, and learning what the Tacoma was, we were off. We found the Tundra in Butte Montana, and made an offer. We were driving away 2 and 1/2 hours later... We can't believe the room!!!, the speed, and the gas mileage, we were expecting about 13 mpg, but after driving home and me running into town, Brian figured we got about 19 mpg. I'm pleased with that number, considering we only use the truck for business and on our days off we drive about 50 miles every two weeks. I posted some pictures of the Tacoma, we have good memories, and of the new Tundra I'm sure memories will be made as well.
