SoCal Truck Spotting - Stalking for Some =P

White taco Long Beach hopefully not looting

 

Wrong.
Fearing for my life or great bodily harm does give me the right to use any force up to and including deadly force.
Watch a few videos, when people are no longer in their vehicles (voluntarily or otherwise) they are not treated with love.
Everyone has heard of Reginald Denny, right? Or the many people getting the same treatment during the last few days.

 

Not in CA. CA has nothing codified about self defense, but does have Jury Instructions that must be given, stating part
"A defendant will be considered to have acted in self-defense, and therefore will not be guilty of a violent crime, if they can prove:

1. They reasonably believed that they (or someone else) was in imminent danger of being harmed;
2. They reasonably believed that the imminent use or force was necessary to defend against that danger; and
3. They only used the amount of force that was reasonably necessary to defend against that danger."

Live your life how you want, but dont expect others to stand by and be battered or killed because they tried driving down a street.

 

As @TacoPharm was so correct to point out, this thread is for two Taco Bros to find love and bond over being near each on in traffic, not politics or legal discussion.

 

Back on topic pls.

I see enough of this crap in the news.

 

Fr man I’m tired of seeing this bullshit all over Instagram and Tv. Lets atleast keep it out of TW

 

I’ve spotted this rig on several trips to my local UPS store in front of Chinitos Tacos on Del Amo blvd in Lakewood

 

Poor little guy has worms

 

Not my cup of tea either but I was able to get a look at the front suspension on that truck and it somewhat got me jealous, but not really

 

Hopefully the rear is just waiting for the next paycheck.

 

Probably .. Noticed it while I was doing some computer work at one of the offices on the corner of 9th and Cabrillo

 

City of Lakewood today.

 

Spotted on Chapman in Orange, nice setup!

 

I live just down the street from there, 1 light away, can confirm that truck hasn't changed in the couple years it's been there. It belongs to the owner of Chinitos, it's there more often than not parked right in front like a douche business owner. The rear isn't ever getting done right lol

 

Off topic observations:

- The owner is Cambodian
- Cooks Mexican food
- Names his business w/ borderline racist name Chinitos (little Chinese boy)

 

Too Soon??

 

I see quite a few nicely set up trucks that are spotless. In the Jeep community there have always been boulevard cruisers. Some of these have a ton of money in upgrades that will never be used. Of course those of us that wheel look at these as rolling spare parts. A wrecked on can be worth it's weight in gold.

So I wonder how common is this with Tacomas? Mine's a 2wd. I have no intention of doing serious trails, I have a Jeep. But it will be more than a mall crawler. Frankly for most of what folks use 4wd for a good driver and 2wd would suffice.

 

Too soon for what? What am I missing here?

 

Today at 6:45a
110 north just pass Carson st.
who’s?
