    I used this forum for a lot of my research before I pulled the trigger on a Tundra, so thank you to all the many members who freely share their experience and expertise! I apologize in advance for any mistakes, but this is the first forum I've ever joined as well.

    Surprised by the late night welcomes. Thank you all for the hospitality. I'll do my best to not be a disgrace, but no promises. :burp:

    I desperately wanted that color. My wife, however, did not.

    Oh well I got nice brown leather I guess instead.

    Also, I miss my wrx terribly. I do not miss the felt carpet, the shit materials, the awful compliance bushings or that it sounded like Oscar the grouches trash can in the rain. But my god, on a twisty bit of road that things was phenomenal.

    Hopefully you will be ok without it, I’m having withdrawal.

    The withdrawls are real, but I was tired of two vehicle payments. I surely wasn't going to drop to one vehicle and have it be a mopar. I'd be terrified of breakdowns.
