[Linus]

So I'm nearly at a point where I'll pass my license (after 44 years without one, I've reached a point where I need one). And since K uses her car a lot for her commute, I'm contemplating getting a vehicle for myself when I'm at home and need to run errands or whatever.

I've been debating between a small car (fuel efficiency) and a small pickup (I like the idea of roominess and it'd be helpful if we go back to Canada). I'm particularly leaning towards the Toyota Tacoma (my aunt had one and the thing is a freakin' workhorse).

I figure this would be a good thread to discuss car/trucks in general as well as a place for people to get advice (buyer beware!) and ideas for mods/upgrades, etc.
