Hello,

I wanted to say 'thank you' to everyone on this board for making Contour.org such a valuable, entertaining and overall 'great' place to visit. It truly made owning my 99 SVT that much more enjoyable.

After much deliberation, I decided to sell my SVT and buy a truck. I had to sell the SVT as I wouldn't want to have 2 cars and a truck (other car is my '87 Chrysler 5th Ave - left to my by my grandfather, it has too much sentimental value and is quite the hoopty about town).

Having become a new home owner, a more utilitarian ride was in order. Having become a 'born-again' frugal person, I chose to go with something that was inexpensive, has strong resale value, and runs like clockwork.

I picked up my 2004 Toyota Tacoma back in July. It is a very basic truck, 4cyl, 5sp, 4wd standard cab. No bling bling here, but having a $185/mo car payment at 1.9 APR feels kind of nice I must say! So far my Toyota has been trouble free and I expect it to continue to be as such.

As you can guess, I miss having the SVT...but I have a newfound love. Earlier this spring, I decided to pursue motorcycling. Here's a few pics of my 2003 Suzuki SV650:





This pic is sad because the SVT is in the background saying "I used to be 'that girl'...!"



BTW I have about 4k on the bike and 3k on the truck...I think it's been a good (and safe!) summer :-)

I will be sure to pop in from time to time, even if it's only as a visitor Thanks again!
