Any Tacoma Owners Over 50?

It seems like just about every Tacoma owner I meet or see on the road is 30ish or younger. I know the old guys are supposed to drive Sedans and such (had one for years) but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only Tacoma Owner (now on my 2nd) over 50?

To those who are "mature" drivers- do you ever get odd stares from people who see you driving this truck?

 

I guess you haven't seen the 3rd gen commercial:

 

I do the staring

 

I see a 60ish year old woman driving a DCSB almost every day on my way home from work. I stare her down hard.

 

Almost 60 but I look like a young Brad Pitt, so yeah lots of stares.

 

Almost 60 as well. Not even close to looking like Brad Pitt.

But I did get a lot of stares this past weekend...

 

58

feel like 28 however.

 

Here you go...

Hey, me too! Well 57.5, but who's counting.

 

Will be 40 next week. Not over 50 but over 30 at least

 

nice.

do your kids friends always steal your meds and grind them up for some reason. mine do for some reason... but, they think i'm cool that i don't care - so i got that going for me.

 

No, but they drink all my vodka and refill the bottles with water, they think I don't notice but I can taste the difference when I have some "over the rocks".

 

my youngest did that - once.

after he came back from the dentist he promised his mom and i it won't happen again... and it didn't.

(the others need to see it happen to get the message)

 

55 and going strong

 

45 and I see quite a bit of guys and gals over 35 here in Colorado driving Tacoma's.

 

OH YEAH!

 

I am 56. When I was 16 in 1976 my father bought for me my first vehicle which was a used 1972 Toyota Hi-Lux from our neighbor for $1500. I drove it for three years until one day while going thru an intersection a guy decided to make a left turn into the front end of the Toyota. State Farm said it would cost more to fix the Hi-Lux than it was worth, so they gave me a check for $1800. I came out $300 ahead and got three years use out of the Hi-Lux!

I used the $1800 as down payment on a new 1979 two wheel drive Tacoma. 1979 was the first year Toyota produced a four wheel drive Tacoma. I really wanted the four wheel drive model, but could not afford it so I bought the two wheel drive.

In 1981, I traded the 1979 Tacoma for a new 1981 long bed four wheel drive Tacoma. I drove that for about five years until one day I tried to cross the South Fork of the Kern River in the Sierra mountains. River was much deeper than I thought about five feet. Water went down into the engine and a piston rod went thru the block. That was the end of that truck.

I then bought a used Ford Bronco and drove it until 2000 when Toyota came out with the Tundra. I bought a new 2000 Tundra and drove it for about seven years. It was a great truck. No issues and it was the first year of an all new truck.

I then owned a few different cars until July of 2016 when I bought a new Tacoma Double Cab TRD 4x4 in silver color. It is like being back together with an old friend.

 

there is a 50's, 60's and maybe a 70's thread here

 

Will be 68 next week, it's only #s.
