    So I went on vaction starting on the 17th. Well when we left the first few vehicles I saw were some Tacomas, so I started counting and by the time I got back home 4 days later and about 320 mile I counted 171 Tacomas. I didn't count the pre tacoma Toyotas only Tacomas. I saw a wide variety from slammed to over 6" of lift. I even saw a few hauling some rather large campers. I didn't realize how many Tacomas were out there.

    I just headed up to Robert Louisiana to go to Jelly Stone. I used I-10 to go and 190 to come back home. On the way up there was heavy traffic so I was watching the road and am sure I missed a few I only counted about 45 on the way up, but by the time we left the park I was up to atleast 70.

    I see Tacomas all the time. So today I went for my morning run and I was gonna count how many I saw. Wouldn't ya know it, I didn't see a single one!

    Then I started thinking. Only somebody from TacomaWorld would count Tacomas!!!:D

    Seems that silver was the most popular color. I had my little girl helping out and she was constantly saying daddy theres your truck. The bad part is that I can't seem to stop counting, I don't want to count anymore but I do it without thinking.
