I've avoided posting this for a while, but now that the Tacoma has been gone for a couple weeks, I figured I should post something.
Unfortunately on our way home from an incredible trip among the fall colors of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, a driver pulled out straight in front of us. We are happy no one was hurt, and we were able to drive the rest of the way home, but the Tacoma was totaled. We didn't let it ruin our trip, but obviously it was disappointing.
It's a little embarrassing to say but I still get a bit emotional when I watch one of my vehicles leave for the last time on a tow truck. I invest a lot of time into my vehicles and they become something personal to me. Often an artistic expression of sorts. Anyone who knows me knows anything I drive is usually...interesting...
We trust this old Toyota to carry us 8 hours away from home, through mountain roads, safe from harm on highways, and then we sleep in the bed at night. There's some sort of a relationship between man (or woman) and machine and that makes it hard to see them go. Anyways, its fun to remember the fun we had with the old black Tacoma. In the meantime, I have been bitten by the Tacoma bug and with an insurance check in hand, will be scouring the web for the next. Stay tuned and let me know what you think should be the next Wildbound vehicle!
