    Jeepers don't like you
    you take a nap while you wait for the hummer to go up the trail... then go up the trail while your camera guy is yelling at you to slow down
    your buddy can fall asleep in the back seat while you blaze down a gravel road
    you wish you could collect each generation
    you've been waiting for this moment since high school
    you're on the trail and you're the last guy who still has gas in the tank
    you know you could pack in 20 people, a .50 cal turret, and you are considered a lethal threat to humvees
    your odometer needs an extra digit
    Top Gear can't figure out how to destroy it

    when hot chicks wanna drive your truck (cause its a stick)
    when friend call you for a ride cause they love the truck.
    when you do a 0-60 run with some one who hasnt ridden in a tacoma and they say, "this is a toyota!?!?!"
    when you can drive it like you stole it some times and it run like new.

    It was a JOKE. You must have missed the massive recall on Toyota's due to sudden acceleration issues.

    So you're saying you have had sudden acceleration problems? You can't tell me that it is such a strong acceleration that you couldn't stop, slow down, shut the engine off, put it in neural, or pull the e-brake. Maybe I know a little more about cars than the majority of users, but the sudden acceleration issue was blown much too far out of proportion and most was driver stupidity. There still has never been proof that toyotas suddenly accelerate in a test lab. Toyota took the fall and covered their ass for little reason. Just my opinion of course..

    When you have a note left on your truck in a parking lot that says "Fords rule the world, jap crap sucks, buy a ford" This really happened while I was at a wedding.
