The Taco Stare

Jeep drivers have the Jeep wave, I've noticed around here Taco drivers just have what I'm branding The Taco Stare. Kinda like accidental eye contact when your taking a piss in a public restroom. Just a bad ass no emotion stare. No smiles, no waves, usually no nods. Just an unspoken understanding that we both have respect for each other. That seems to be the case around here at least.

What say you?

 

usually the stare over here means fight!

 

I try to wave at other tacomas I just gave up becuase everyone just stares me down

 

I stare.

Mostly I'm looking to see if they make the first move to a wave or a nod, since around here, tacomas are generally owned by retirees who don't really notice others.

 

I stare, hoping that if I stare hard enough, his king resi's will teleport onto my truck

 

this is so ghey,staring in the washroom

 

I stare as well unless i get the feeling he loves his truck and knows it kicks ass and appreciates seeing other tacoma's such as i do

 

I see and look at other Tacomas and look inside to see if the driver notices me or not. If not then I don't try to do anything further.

 

lol, I always get waved at but I never wave back

 

in socal i see it all the stare wave nod and got a thumbs up the other day driving with my girl it was akward

 

probably looking at your girl

 

funny u say that, over here no one looks! i can point a taco out a good distance away and when i get to face distance no one looks! kinda pisses me off just make me think people here dont have enuff pride in there taco to look at others for recognition, im not saying it as i want people to stare at my truck in aww just that if u spend the money on tacoma it should mean somthing to u and u should pay tribute to other owners, k im done my rant

 

yup same here!!!

 

I try and do the wave here. Some wave back and are happy I have acknowledged them and some just look at me like I am weird lol.

 

is this a tacoma thing or do chevy ford and dodge guys do it too,what about people who drive the same types of cars do they do it too?

 

ehahahahahha

stuck uppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp


no speak.




but OP, i usually stare at other tacoma owners, especially the new incoming freshmen at cal poly.if they are lifted by spacers i dont wave, if ifs something else, then i do.

 

we 4runner have the wave but during the wave if the other dont wave back the wave turns in to a finger

 

Haha..that's funny!^^

I'm happy with the "I'll kick your ass" stare. To me, that's the same as a wave. I would definately give a nod back or whatever but that never happens, just the stare. I think it's great.

 

I usually give a wave or strike up a conversation with someone that has some sort of mod done to their truck. At least you know they like and take some pride in what they drive and are of somewhat like minded. Yesterday I pulled into the local Lowes and a guy was just getting out of his double cab, same color as mine. It was mostly a stock SR5, but he was sporting dual exhaust. I got out and said, "nice truck man." He chucked and then started asking me all about my lift and tires. That was cool.
