Who here still turns and looks at your Tacoma as you're walking away from it?

I look all the time, it never gets old.

 

The best is when an impromptu taco train forms on the road.

And I do stare....all the time. I think sometimes my gf gets jealous of her

 

lol funny you mention that, mine has been nicknamed "the whore"

 

yep, almost every time haha! i always park in the back of parking lots -- avoids door dings and i get longer to stare as i approach.

 

Everyday!

 

Every time, I think dam, that truck is nice!

 

After I close the door I turn around to look.


To see how much of the seat belt is sticking out....

 

i thought i was the only who did this! especially if the taco is modded. i usually get a look back like im crazy though :/

 

6 years. every damn time.

i turn back several times while i walk away.
i walk slower when i return.
bonus points when other people do this to my truck, especially when i remote start it.

 

haha I do this too...

Also, yes to looking back at it.

 

Sniffle...I look at my '04 Taco on the dealer's lot with the price scrawled across the window in glaringly ugly orange and white and miss 'er every time I drive past.

The new one is nice. Maybe after it's gotten me safely back and forth to work down snowy and icy roads in MN, MO, KS and muddy back "roads" in LA and TX...I'll start to warm up to it. Right now it still just feels like basic transportation for when I absolutely, positively have to be transported, no matter what.

Then again, it's also eating three hundred and something out of my budget every month. Maybe when it starts paying its keep, I'll think of it more fondly.

 

Shes parked right out side my room, I tend to peek out the window and catch myself staring to long....

 

ive had mine much longer and I still do this

I also park in a precise position at home so I can see him from my couch

 

I had to think about this but if I am driving my Camry I rarely look back. But if I am driving my Taco, I always look back to make sure it is ok.

 

I look at mine every time and I've it for 7 years still love my Taco

you look back and think "how can i make this look more badass

 

hahaha i do that all the time i thought i was weird.

Warning: This may be kinda off topic and Boring

Anyways i love my Tacoma. Its seriously the best vehicle I'v ever had. I bought it 2 years ago, In that time i have been trying to find a car to kinda replace it with so i dont put so many damn miles on it. First i Had an 02 civic that i sold because i seen to many girls driving them. Then i picked up a 2003 BMW 330ci this was by far my faviourite but i ended up selling it because i always drove the tacoma. After that i figured hey i should buy a RHD 93 Toyota MR2 Turbo, 1 week later(after much boosting) motor overheats...I had to tear the entire motor out and replace the head/gaskets my luck it ran fine for a week and the turbo went. Fixed everything and Traded it for a lifted JEEP TJ , Which i drove for a week and started thinking... My tacoma is much better then this thing, The steering was all over the road. so much road noise. So i traded it to a guy for a 07 arctic cat 500 4x4 with snow plow and $2800.

So now i find myself with just my Tacoma (and quad). I'v tried to replace it but its just to damn reliable/practical i cant let go. In this neck of the woods there are VERY few first gen tacomas, Especially 01-04.
All of my other vehicles have had under 150 000 KM's and My tacoma has 365000KM's and i trust it more then any of my vehicles.
END RANT

 

Been seven years now and still admire it every time I look at it, she's the love of my life
