Are you too old for your Tacoma?

What are you trying to say?

 

Except for some from the '50s and '60s, I don't think I'll ever be old enough to drive a new Vette or Caddy

 

My father drove his till he was 85. D.M.V. ended up taking his license away otherwise he would still have it.
I'm 56 and will be driving one till I can't get in it any longer.

 

hmmmm....he may be saying that you're on the down hill side of the mountain these days!

 

Well I'm 58, and have had vettes, merces, and many more toys, got rid of them. Now I drive what I'm comfortable in, and if anybody don't like it Good. I've still got my Jeep that been modified for ruff off road, but my favorite is my Tacoma to run in, and not worry about get-en back home. Oh Yeah! Tell your buddies when there's brake down to call You and you'll bring-em home. You know our age we don't care if ours are liked or not! It's kinda like these kids griping about chrome, and wanting everything black, but when your from the 50's, and 60's we kinda have a thing for chrome.

 

I can see wanna be's thinking that way. Age = success = status symbol. At 49 I don't really care what people think. i really like my Tacoma and I could afford a lot of things.

What I'd really like for my midlife crisis car is a GTR...

 

bought this new back in 88 at 34... got the Taco in 07 at 54.

 

I am over 40 and have no regrets owning and driving Tacomas.

 

Well clearly. They are 9ers fans...

Realistically thought I don't see what age has to do with the truck. I'm not in that bracket, but how does wanting something more manuverable and better for trails while getting better MPGs than a tundra and being less expensive not applicable to someone older, as well as younger? Full size trucks are so over built and oversized few people actually need them and would be better suited to a midsize.

Status symbols are just dumb. I could give two *%#&s that you drive a luxury brand. I'd like to see the Lexus move a couch, or do a dump run. How about that load of mulch? If that is what your friend is worried about, just point to resale. Tacoma is #1 in the USA.

 

Haven't you seen the commercials for the 3rd gen? If you're not doing donuts you're watching young people have fun on dirt bikes and 4wheelers.

 

NO.

 

I've had 5 full-size pickups, but these days, I'm more interested in being able to fit into the garage on storm days/nights

 

You're supposed to do donuts in your truck, not eat donuts in your truck

 

Turned 59 yesterday, and have driven nothing but since '87.

 

Example

 

I'm 60 and sold my BMW 530i to get my Tacoma...

 

I'm in my 40's and don't have any issues owning a Tacoma. Fourth Toyota. Had a 4Runner in my 20's, 1st gen Tacoma in my 30's, and 2nd gen Tacoma in '08 and now my current '13 Tacoma.
