    Went out to the garage today and I noticed Ginger has been in the take-offs box again. Then I noticed the Tundra badges are on the Tacoma. I tell Ginger all the time she will never be a Tundra no matter how hard she tries. I tell her "look.. you don't need to be the Tundra..you have your own special qualities. Sure the Tundra has more room, more power, sits higher, hauls more and drives like a dream but you are lighter, more nimble, better on the trails and the in dunes, easier to park and all around more fun to drive".

    I told her I'd take her for a spin or two with the badges on and maybe even a pass through the Toyota dealership if it makes her feel better but she just won't listen.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I like it. I will ask the dealer to write her up as a Tundra. That may actually help. Thanks!
