pulling the trigger on one of these today! ...a red 1983 model with a 5-speed

I’m from the segment that normally buys luxury wagons and recently bought a new manual Tacoma (double-cab) this year as it suited my needs for this stage in life: camping, fixing up our house, and hauling around two sets of strollers.

I had to specialize order my new Tacoma with a manual — I’m trying to be the rare Jalop that buys new to keep manuals on the map!

what does it look like in my driveway?
