End of an era...

That's right...it's the end of an era!

So sad!

The truck is no more. Never to haul anything again. :(



I am sure that you all heard about the Toyota Tacoma Truck recall last year. Well, to make a long story short - in Tacomas made betweeen 1995 - 2000 the frame of the car may or may not be safe. Basically, the frame would rust completely away leaving the car undrivable.



The way that they checked to make sure YOUR truck was 'safe' to drive was that they hit the frame with a hammer (not really sure what kind of hammer). If the hammer put a whole in the frame the truck would be unsafe, if it didn't you were alright until next year.

Last year Dave took it in and it passed with flying colors. Yay! Dave was very happy as he REALLY did not want to lose his truck. He really loved it...he has even had it since college.

So Dave took the truck in for its annual frame check and this is what happened...



If you look close - you can see the large, circular whole covered with rust. That's right...it didnt pass! Dave was 'allowed' to drive the truck home to clean it out, etc. I was happy about that since I wanted to see the truck one last time.

RIP Truck....you will be missed!
