Have you ever walked up to a stranger?

I never have, but I was at a gas station in the boondocks of northern Wisconsin a few weeks ago and a UPS truck screeches to a stop on the dirt road in front, the driver jumps out runs over to my Taco and says "Man, thats a beauty" He was the owner of a '98 Taco and about to order a new one. He crawled over, under and inside of mine smiling the whole time.

 

I don' t go to them-they come to ME and then Rosie gets to make fun of us "look at you guys all 'male bonding' psshhhh!!"...she loves giving me crap

 

I voted Tacoma people are crazy..

I did approach a guy who had an 07 Tundra (when they first came out) and complimented him on his truck.

 

In the past when the situation granted a 'greeting' - I would. A long time ago when I owned my 96 - I was sooo into offroading at the time, I'd give them a business card for our local club. Other than that...I haven't seen any Tacomas around much to talk to the owners. I only ever see them in passing..... A guy who I know at work has a TRD - and I told him about the TSB. He went out and got it done right away.

 

I've complimented peoples trucks and have had mine complemented several times.

I've spoke to several people about their rigs (Tacos and FJs) in parking lots before.

 

most of the time i have had mine complemented several times, mostly when brand new, and one time i asked a guy how did he level his

 

Every chance I get.

 

I've talked to a couple guys about our Tacomas. Usually seems to happen when I am at Lowe's also...

 

I don't think I've ever approached anyone, but plenty of people have approached me about mine! I get people asking how I like it, and oddly enough, plenty of people at the grocery store marveling at the access cab doors.... And, one of my students made the comment "Well, you drive that big beast of a truck." I never really thought of it as all that big!

 

i go up and talk to people with tacomas all the time(tundras too, for that matter). sometimes,i'll get weird looks, but most of the time, they get into a pretty good conversation about things.

 

Yeah, but they usually come to me.

 

Yep I talk to the guys when I get a chance if they are right there...filling up at gas station, lumber yard, walmart ..etc. Nice to see each others mods etc. show off the system.

 

I work in D.C. close to the courthouse. On 4th street they have parking reserved for officers to park when they have to go to court. There is one who drives an FJ that I'll talk to when I see her. One of the guards at my building has a DC. I've told him about the site, but I don't know if he's been on here.

 

I go up to people no prob, i like seeing what kind of upgrades they have done, they're always cool about it.

 

definitely gotta check other peoples mods!

 

I only do it if the person has something besides bone stock. In Phoenix, you can see a Tacoma every turn you take, but only some are custom.


But a lot of people come up to me and ask me where I get some of the parts for my truck.

 

My only experience was with some college kid delivering a pizza to my house. He had a pre-Tacoma truck with a brush guard unlike any i'd seen before. I asked him about it, but he was a real jag-off about it. Treated me like I was retarded for asking.
