It's going to be a while before I get back on 2 wheels, but I think I now have something that at least feels in the same vein. For the last 6 years, my daily driver was an 05 Ford F250. It had the 6.0 diesel which is a maintenance intensive motor, and I finally came to the point where I felt it was time for a change (I racked up over 100K miles myself). I listed it on craigslist and it sold within about 2 hours of posting the ad...my wife and I had decided to use Carvana for the replacement, and I found a 2011 Toyota Tacoma, which fittingly enough arrived yesterday (Taco Tuesday!). Its a regular cab 4x4, manual trans. Among the last conversations I had with my dad before he passed is that we both said how much we missed driving a manual...this truck is also bright red, like his old fire truck, so it just feels right. I'm definitely looking forward to personalizing it, and there is so much out there in terms of accessories. I haven't taken any pics yet...I have 7 days to return it, just in case, so am waiting for that time to elapse.
I'll still be here as one of your friendly neighborhood moderators. The Tenere will always be one of my favorite vehicles ever, and hopefully the circumstances will someday be right for me to have another one (either T12 or T7).
