    It's just a truck. Who cares, here's the keys, knock yourself out. It is not like it is some exotic sports car.

    :rofl:Does that mean your still smoking fags. But seriously, It’s a health decision for me (a scientifically proven, royal college of physicians recommended/published safer alternative)- see I didn’t want to quit smoking but I also want to see my girls grow up.
    you edited your post? On a quick search it looked like incomplete or biased research studies. No control group, no comparison to cigarette smoke, no levels for comparison (ex. If cigarettes are at a level of 100 and vaping is at .05 it makes a huge difference but You can spin anything by omitting data). I’m not advocating teen vaping (the truth is they’ll get there hands on anything no matter what restrictions are in place ie. alcohol and all it’s flavors, drugs etc) this is for adult smokers to have the right to choose a safer alternative.
    i apologize, I didn’t mean to sound like a knock at the door Sunday afternoon. Normally you see drinking and drugs so it through me off. I wasn’t trying to change your mind or parenting decisions but I do rely on my peers to vote and there is a lot of hate and misinformation so I’d just rather the facts be known first. So I see I came off pretty heavy when you were just replying to a post about kids driving your truck :anonymous: :hattip:

    Not yet but maybe my Grandson when he gets old enough. Though by that time we should be flying cars around he is only 3 months old.

    Dog hair, lost happy meal parts from Grandkids....
    Wife drives it regularly, adult Son and Daughter both can drive it, Granddaughter is learning how to drive in it. Neither of our 3 dogs seem interested in learning..

    Even gets loaned out to close friends if they need it.

    Now my motorcycles...................THAT is different.

    Yes I did.
    I did not want to ramble. But, because you asked, nicotine is the habit forming component. There are a plethora of substances in cigarettes that are carcinogens... to think there are still people around supporting the “benefits” of cigs is not surprising among smokers. After all, there are still those who believe the earth is flat too. :) There are No medical research facilities affiliated with institutes of higher learning, the government and healthcare professional organizations that agree with you about nicotine in general and it’s roll in cancer.
    I’m not wasting my time listing every major medical organization in the world.

    I only let my son drive my Taco when I'm with him.

    He screwed up and told me a few things he did with my Z71 I had, smoking the tires was just the beginning.

    Well, it isn’t like he’s going to smoke the tires on a Taco.

    It is just money...
    Don't really care who drives it. Have thrown plenty of friends the keys without hesitation.

    Besides, it isn't mine. Just don't tell Toyota Financial that other people get to drive their truck.

    Not a chance my stepson or daughter will drive my truck! My stepson drives fine, just not happening and my daughter can't pass her driver's test! Sorry Victoria area residents! :anonymous: Also my daughter has this crazy notion that a Jeep ( pronounced Heep in Mexico ) is a better vehicle! Where did I go wrong!:annoyed:
