I never knew a new car could bring so much pain... (and how to overcome it)

You grow up!

 

to late for that

 

I gave up... who cares its a truck!!
Its hard to have fun if your worried about "dust"

 

yeah just getting over the scratches is the best medicine

 

my 07 black was awesome, scratches, dings, orange paint smudges from saw horses in the street, rusted out rear bumper, now a 17 black all shiny new, still a virgin

 

Mine looks like Stevie Wonder washed it. I don't give a shit. Edit: (anymore)

 

Black trucks are a cruel joke. I'll buy any color as long as it's silver.

 

be careful in car washes... I learned the hard way a couple months ago... never will do a Spaghetti car wash ever again... maybe never another car wash again...

 

I had a black truck, once... Quicksand FTW

 

I have had white and silver Tacoma's. Wanted to get one of the last 2nd gens. Wanted a little to long, didn't have much to choose from. Sales guy said the only thing he could get me was a black one with the configuration I wanted. I said no way, anything but black. Long story short, he knocked off almost 5 grand. I love my truck, love the color, pain to keep clean.

 

Black truck ownership is a lifestyle and definately not suited to a lazy bastard like me.

10 weeks without a wash and covered in pollen when it finally rained.

Good to go for another 10 weeks.

 

A Taco is a Taco. Be thankful you ungrateful bastard. But seriously though, love my Super White.

 

I have a black truck with 470,000 km on it. When it's dry the paint shows it's wear...

But you put her in the rain and it all disappears.

 

...^^^... The wisdom of 100 Tibetan Monks here

 

We never get manual trans Tacos here in the gulf states. I was getting closer to purchase time, after looking for months. My sales guy knew how much I wanted a manual. One day he called me and told me it was my lucky day. Said because an order was messed up, they received a manual. I left work and headed to the dealership thinking I'm about to get my new truck. When I get there, he points me to it. Black! Oh no
Any color but black
That was a heart breaker. I did throw out a low ball offer. I can deal with black if the price is right....
Well, he did me a favor and turned down my low offer.
In the end, I had to go 600 miles away to get my manual. And it's white (my 3rd color of choice)

 

I owned a black truck once. Once.

 

HI! My name is john, i have a black tacoma and i dont give a f#=&, or a #@%*. I have scratches, gouges dents and dings, and i love every bit of it! The guys i work with have huge doublecab hds that are pretty. Nobody busts my balls cuz they know they cant fit where the fun happens

 

Yeah you went black and then you went back to another color.

 

i had a 2015 Black pro,, i have a cement Pro now, never black again....

 

But when they're clean, they do look the best
