Let's learn to be humbler about our Tacos

I used to be so anti-bumper sticker. I still am to a degree, but these little custom vinyl things are sometimes just so hilarious and appropriate.

I actually had one made for my beater to put just under the "AWD V6" badge that says "Powered by Honda" -- it's a Saturn Vue. I did it mostly because I had a Civic Si at the time and it was very much a nod to the ricer culture surrounding my daily but also to piss off the die-hard GM guys that can't stand "them damn jap cars". Oh, and because it's true. As some may know, GM and Honda worked out a deal where Honda got access to and use of the OnStar system (satellites) and GM got a whole mess of 3.5L V6 engines/transmissions to use (in the first gen Saturn Vue)

My father-in-law is one of those aforementioned GM people and was pretty disgruntled when he saw that I put the sticker on the Saturn he sold me.

I informed him that, in fact, the V6 version of the 2004-2007 Saturn Vue with the 3.5L Honda J-series engine installed actually has MORE U.S. parts content than the 4-cylinder version as the 3.5L Honda V6 is made in Marysville, OH where the 4-banger was sourced from Opel and made in somewhere in Europe.

I don't recall exactly but I think he turned a shade of red and had a slight head explosion at that one! Ha ha ha.

 

This is going on our Jeep, to poke fun at my wife's Tacoma:

 

That is fantastic. My gen 1 Taliban special would approve.

 

Yeah, it's all in good fun. I absolutely love her truck. IMO, we own the two most capable, small, factory-built 4x4s on the planet.

 

Hope your Jeep doesn't get keyed. Lots of terrorists in Houston, especially Sugarland area.

 

Haha! 99% sure it was. Saw it at Crystal Cove state park in Laguna Beach

 

She's not a DD, so I'm not too worried about it.

 

good man.

 

When I had my Corolla, I had a decal that said "0-60 Eventually"

Find me a OEM SPEC 4 door in the USA, with less options. I will give you $20,000.

 

@Jamesboy2233 You will be pleased with my new purchase. Picking up today at 3pm. I wanted to be closer to the common people, and couldn't stand having sliding windows.

Be proud of me https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/show-us-your-3rd-gen-silver-thread.392249/page-169#post-17756400

 

Kenny Powers has it, and he's cool as sh*t.

Honestly, suicide doors on a DC would be pretty sweet. Like the doors on the AC trucks.

 

Yeah I told my friend, my new 2018 farm truck I am picking up today (access Cab), is just as cool as his Lincoln Continental Convertible

 

But the good guys used them too...

Seems everyone loves tacos!




The new Team trucks are pretty sweet too! Proper 2 piece rims and everything! Got to drive one a while back, and tried my best to take it home with me.

 

Rich good guys have the SR5 V6 versions

 

1/45 Presidents would have preferred a tacoma if I had to guess...

 

Gotta love that "discretionary funding"...

I've seen pics of some doorless 4bangers knocking around FOBs as mules

 

That's why I didn't want the AC. Pain in the ass to have to open the front door to open the back if you have your hands full.
