    I originally got lucky cause it was perfect But had 221,000 miles , with a cost of $ 10,900
    I drove it & thought what is this ? 221,000 miles ?
    I had a feeling - so I took the loan , I put on an additional 29,000 miles
    The truck refused to feel OLD . It could pull 30 MPG hwy 20 MPG town as long as it had very fresh oil .
    Interesting I found when oil got miles on it , Gas MPG dropped .
    Over all I really drove it easy causing an Ironic lesson .
    Ive had many cars in my past used HARD , They went year after year , a little coarse but well used .
    The Tacoma was so sweet . I drove it soooo slow , soooo mellow, worst I did was carry a little weight .
    Yet this tuck died with a big smash.
    Now I look back and think I should of ROMPED it a little . Some back road fun . Those Taco's are fast !!!



    Still the Dakota has a special quality . a type of sophisticated swoosh around town . Many trucks are better , but the Dakota has attitude competence , it's a sleeper .
    As a man , a truck is like a woman , some you remember with extra admiration , but dam all woman are so sweet .
    I say with all due respect to woman .

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less
