    Yeah most of the time I'm looking at their truck going damn that's a good looking truck, then the light turns green and we part ways. Or they are on the other side of the frwy and we are both staring at each other as we pass by.

    I try to throw up the duesces when I see a fellow yota but most of the time it's only if it's built at all. I see a lot of yotas and you just know that person has never even heard of a forum

    Fj's, 4Runners, Tundras... if they're modded they get a wave but rarely a wave back.

    Not as awkward as it was for me last Thursday on the 5 and 91. Some young dude drove by me, then I caught up to him, gave him a "what's up nod", but he just stared at me, and instead kept checking out my truck. Red 2nd Gen with caliraised stickers all over (wasn't Jake) plus a couple trump stickers too.
