Awesome! I was just reading up on aircraft carriers built before and during WWII. I gotta visit the one in Alameda.Amazing reads in this thread! Tip of the hat to all who serve! My dad served in the Navy on the first aircraft carriers.
I drive a Tacoma Crew Cab. Have had short bed and long bed always put a shell on them so I have a place to hunker down if I need to take a nap or camp or inclement weather comes up. On occasion save some money not getting a hotel room for an overnighter.
Added fun is 4x4 which I have taken out in different states, finding locations to explore the countryside. Good stuff!
Did have Chevy and Ford trucks in the past but have found reliability with the Tacoma. 20 mpg highway. True not the best mpg as what a minivan could do,
but then again the Tacoma can do more than a minivan more of a
multi-purpose vehicle for me!
Re: Tacoma, been eyeing one of those for next spring. My F150 has about had it. When I can't fill the fuel tank over 1/2 full anymore because it is so rusty like the rest of the truck, it may be time. I might try to limp through another winter, or I could put a new tank and fuel pump in and just about double the truck's value.
