    Funny story... my girlfriend drives a Tacoma as well, so the other day I was asking if she had washed it. The texts went like this...

    Me: Have you washed the Taco yet??
    Her: What?!
    Me: Your truck...
    Her: You need to rephrase that haha

    I now only say Tacoma :)

    I'm offended that you find that offensive. Furthermore, I will be offended by anyone else who finds the fact that I think your being offended by my lack of sensitivity to those offended offensive and I will take offense to any further comments on this offensive subject by those offended.

    Thanks for the English language lesson.

    I don't really like it but it doesn't offend me. I think it makes the truck sound cheap or synonymous to being a lemon. Maybe we should start the trend of calling it a "Coma" j/k!

    of course
    You should call it what you want. You are free to do as you please(let's hope that doesn't change). OOPS, I used hope and change in the same sentence, I would like to clarify that this is not an endorsment of our current administration nor a statement that somehow associates me with said administration. Also, I have not used these terms in any way that somehow incorporates the present administrations campaign slogan and therefore I should not need permission. Just to clarify.

    Me personally, I like all taco's. Mexican, Japanese and female. :eek:

    Once upon a time I had a customtacos.com decal and my friends kept asking me if I was opening a Mexican Build-Your-Own-Taco restaurant. There were several reasons to remove that decal, LOL

    I think taco is better than coma - A mexican treat, or a medical term describing physical inactivity?

    LOL
