hello,
<me>
i'm jt, a 24 year old computer network technician living in central virginia, working in northern virginia. i just took a new job a month ago and quickly decided the 17mpg that my big american v8 sport coupe was getting wasn't enough. i had decided i would get a new car, and actually i was looking at the Tacomas. I'm not exactly a "truck person", but appreciate the utilitarian nature of the Toyota trucks. I had also checked out a few other cars including Civic Hybrids, VW TDI's, older e36 bimmers and yesterday decided on a (used) 2004 Corolla S.
<mines>
The aforementioned 2004 Corolla S. Approx. 14,220 miles on the clock. She's silver exterior with a dark gray interior. She's got the alloy wheels, spoiler (not sure if these are both standards on the S model), and a ton of goodies straight from the factory. The only thing she doesn't have (thank god) is an automatic transmission.
<mods>
Needless to say - none yet. i've only owned the car a shade over 14 hours at this point, and my cash situation is kinda lean until the end of the month. in any event, i plan to do modification to the exterior, sound system, intake, exhaust, and who knows - maybe even F.I. No plans for the immediate future in the F.I. arena, though, I like the Toyota dependability, and this is for all intensive purposes a commuter car for the next year or two. maybe later i can get into really opening her up.
<thanks>
Thanks for reading this, and if you have any advice for me, please let me know. I am not yet a toyota enthusiest, as i do not have a great knowledge of the company or it's cars. this is new for me, so it's kinda exciting.
