You know you're driving a toyota when...

....when mud rips your mud flap off

 

...when headlights are in the oven.

 

when people who dont own a tacoma are asking to buy it

 

When you go through some serious sh** and you think to yourself "o crap! Why did I decide to go through this?!" Then when you get out you remeber. . . "O yeah, it's a yota" haha (maybe this is just to me since I'm new to these turcks, but that thought has crossed my mind multiple times already)

When everyone is hoping snow holds off as long as possible, while I pray for snow every night

 

When you have to take off the skidplate to change the oil because you know if you dont, oil is going to get everywhere!

People ask you if its for sale.

 

Perfect!

 

it just wont break. Oh and its stupid fast

 

When my girlfriend looks at my 99 Tacoma with 150k on the clock and says, "This will be our sons truck when he turns 16"....and the kid isn't even a year old yet.

 

when you can laugh at these pictures:

 

When you're doing 160 km/h (100mph to you guys down south) in a 4 banger on a deserted highway and the person next to you who is normally a nervous type doesn't even notice.

When you drive from Victoria all the way to Port Hardy and still have a quarter tank of gas.

When you get phone calls from your friends. I mean, c'mon, really, WHO YOU GONNA CALL WHEN YOU NEED HELP?! The buddy with the Ranger, or the buddy with the Tacoma?!?!?!?!

 

you start the truck when it's cold out and the tachometer shoots all the way up to 3 grand!!! Hahaha

 

You walk in to the dealer for a part and have to say, "HOW MUCH?? YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?....NO SERIOUSLY, HOW MUCH DOES IT REALLY COST?"

 

You take an 8 hour drive and still very comfortable.
You play the radio with the car off for 4 hours while doing mods and the battery didn't even notice it.
You know you will have to be the one who is pulling people out of the snow.

 

When you know that your truck can do just as much as that huge ass chevy/ford/dodge/nissan rolling on "low pro" mud tires

When your hardcore domestic buddies would rather hit "puddles" in the yota.

When said domestic buddies will not follow you into mud/sand/semi dried lake

When your girl always mentions how much she likes the truck.....true

 

When you notice that vehicles broke down on the side of the road are never Toyotas

When you notice vehicles on a tow truck are only Toyota's that have been in an accident.

Really....................

 

When your truck has pink tail lights...

 

...when you drive a 17 year old pickup and your buddy driving an 08 cummins looks at you and says "damn you've got a sharp truck"

 

when it is flooded and your window is down and your hand is getting wet and you have a hard time seeing because the headlights keep going under water. That was a long 1/2 mile at 04:00, I will never take that rode again after a hard rain

 

Someone randomly leaves a note on your truck asking to buy it. (Seriously, I laughed my ass of when I found it.)
