Goodbye, old friend!!!
Now, a new era begins with my 2007 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. What experiences and adventures await in the next 15 years?

I have very fond memories of the Eagle Talon: kissing, traveling on our honeymoon, sleeping in a rest area instead of a hotel, skipping work and heading to the beach, going to the hospital in it to have Brandon. So much of our lives have been wrapped up in that little car. I will miss it! But at least I still have the driver! :-)
Ilove the post. I especially love the part about your sweet wife. I'm glad you only have 1. Love the truck. Red is a good color for you Lester! We miss you guys!
Yeah for trucks! Congrats! The kids will love it, too.
We just had to say goodbye to our 10 year old mini-van last month. But we didn't get anything cool, like a truck, to replace it. We are the proud parents of another mini-van:)
sad day, lester. i'm sorry to see the lima bean go. it has treated you well. you will love having your truck.
it's amazing what memories you have with a car?! we had a blue honda accord since we were married and Wes held onto that for 15 years after we were married. There are so many memories...it's almost like moving out of a home that you have lived in for a long time. I love your new truck! Toyotas are great!
