    Hey, I'm secure enough in my manhood to admit that my truck has a vagina. I baby it and it will never see dirt. It loathes dirt. But it's definitely no Honda, that's for sure.

    That's cool....different strokes for different folks. Mine on the other hand is a TRD Offroad and likes to play rough.

    Seriously, I'm considering what I want to do with it. I don't want a full on offroad rig because I won't be doing that unless I do it on a whim or something. It will spend most of the time on the road but I really DO like the offroad look. So, I'm planning on Bilstein 5100's for the front and looking at some wheel/tire combo's now. I like the street look but I do have a Prerunner so I don't know. We'll see what the new year brings...

    MY TRD off-road now runs with a side exhaust system consisting of 2 catalytic converters, 3 feet of piping and a stainless tip. thats right, i got drunk and hacked off the 16" glasspack tube, so now it's just "straight-piped"

    out of curiosity why do you say frontiers are sh!t? I'm not debating you since i've never even driven one but from what i've heard they are almost as good if not as good as tacomas. what was your experience? (i always like to hear the dirt on the competition :))

    Now see, this confused me at first too. I always said that cars were girls, trucks and SUV's were guys (and ridgelines were either gay guys or lesbians). My old cars name was Gretchen and i was in love with her, which is perfectly ok cause she is a girl and i'm a guy. But then i got my new truck which i initially thought was a guy. But then i found myfelf falling in love with it. So i realized that it was either a girl or i was gay. Since i have a girlfriend and do not like penis's (except for my own) i know i'm not gay. So my truck must be a girl since i am not comfortable being "in love" with something that is male. So thats my story. I still haven't come up with a name for her yet. I've just been callling her "truck". "ok let go to the store, go get in truck and we'll go". that kind of thing

    I must be Gay then, because my wife says that my truck seems "male" to her. She says he is tough (and of course his name is Blaze :D).

    And I love him...

    I'm out of the closet!:rolleyes:

    **Okay I had to edit this: "I love him...but I'm not IN LOVE with him." ;)

    The interior fit and finish is much better then a domestic truck but seriously behind a tacoma. You feel the doors on them and they seem very lightweight not as substantial as a tacoma. Worst part about the frontiers is that they don't hold value like tacoma's do. Of course a frontier is better then a ranger or colorado or any other domestic midsize truck, it's just not better then a tacoma.

    i'm gunna name mine Snowflake :cool: how badass is that, you ask? the answer is that it's so badass that it actually completely flipped to the other side of the spectrum and it looks gay to most ....in all reality, i probably should think of a name...something to do with the lack of an actual exhaust system...any ideas?

    Oh yeah, more than you think. In my office I hear women saying it like they just watched the latest episode of "Days of our lives."

    I know what it means, and it's more stupid than I ever thought. Fanatsy world not come to life for them.
