Tacoma from a teenager's POV

YEAH!! Fight the power!! Rebel at all costs!

 

Shhhhh. Is it dead, or just sleeping.....?

 

I like that one.

And how about the other extreme, a "Cash Only Cheapskate Old Fart" thread.
As in, how many times you can divide your purchase price (in thousands), into your age?
I'll start: 3.8.

[EDIT] On second thought, and for the sake of consistency, calculate the Cheapskate Quotient as:
My Purchase Price is Lower (in thousands) Than My Age, by This Much.
Mine's 47.

 

So, in regard to:
"My Age is a Lower Number than My Tacoma's Price in Thousands"...

Loqu!to scores a big fat 23. That's gonna be hard to beat.
What should we call that?
The Financial Irresponsibility Rating?
Reckless Youth Quotient?

By the way, Loqu!to, where ya been?
We're just kidding.

 

When I was a teenager I never understood why guys my age treated me like they did. Now I understand perfectly.

You might be surprised to know that TW is the minority in terms of Tacoma owners. So what you’re doing by not swapping out your grill is following the crowd.

 

Agreed...way over rated and not really all that attractive. I'll keep my cheese grater grill and not be a sheeple.

 

I can feel the pain of the depreciation in that picture from here.

 

Boat, worth more than I paid for it 2 years ago new due to inflation of new ones

Truck, worth several thousand more than I paid for it


No pain, all gain

 

That worked out pretty nicely.

 

If you want something else, look at X-Trek grilles. They haven’t gone mainstream yet

 

2018s don’t really count. The grill was redesigned and looks significantly better than what the 2016s and 2017s came with. If I had a 2018 I’d probably keep the stock grill. Instead we got the terrible chrome one.

 

Looks even better with the SR black surround.

 

Like the red, what company did you go through for that or did you do that yourself? I'm assuming If I look through the forum Ill find something but I'm gonna be lazy haha. I have the black grill as well but looking for small additions now that I got my lift with wheels and tires.

 

Yeah I guess that wouldn't be considered going with the crowd, even though most people that have those pro grills got them off ebay.

 

Hey, those don't look half bad. I will not be changing over to a new grill until the stock black one becomes too popular though but if I ever do Ill have to check em out.

 

So, that's where its tough. A large majority of 3rd gen tacos I see that are brand newish seem to have the pro grill with pro wheels. A lot of these I see on TW but of course I see way more out on the streets like this then in this forum. One grill I do not see too often though is the stock 18 black one that I fortunately got with mine. Way better than all that chrome but that's just because I'm not a chrome guy. I am afraid of what the future holds though because they're selling or have already sold a ton of 3rds and that means all stock parts are gonna be seen everywhere. Rough life....

 

It's a vinyl sticker from TVD Vinyl. He's a vendor on here TW and he's on ebay

 

Nifty stuff. Nice seeing products made by fellow TWers. Thanks for the info
