No wave from 3rd gen owners

I'll probably catch shit for this but Tacomas are one of those vehicles that I characterize as having bad/aggressive/asshole drivers. Obviously it's not a rule for everyone who drives the truck. But, for sure, a lot of Tacoma guys are in the same vein as diesel bros, s-class/bmw and Tesla model 3 drivers.

 

agreed im an asshole, dont wave at me

 

Thems be fighting words around here.... well at least you didnt say we are subaru vaping douchecanoes.

 

I live in rural Kentucky where many folks tend to throw their hand up when you pass by regardless of what you're driving.

 

@RyanL 3rd gen owner here. I am not even sure if it is a thing here in the midwest. Drove my tacoma around and got no waves from any other tacomas. Jeep guys though, i get a look 8/10 times, probably cause my truck looks boss in Army Green.

 

Same here, I live in a tiny town with one caution light. Everybody pretty much waves at everybody. It does get tiring at times, but I still wave back.

 

LOL. My city def does have some of those douchecanoes. savage.

 

Drove around CO and felt the same way, most of them have tints and one only has a few seconds to decide to appreciate/dis on the truck or WAVE. tough decision!

 

Only on the backroads, then it's seven out of ten, regardless of what you're driving.

 

There is definitely an awkward taco to taco stare that i have noticed. Like they want to wave but dont hahah

 

I wave at people I know and cops, that's it.

 

Ya know @RyanL... I think the real shame is that the 2nd gen Pro's didn't come with those gaudy/lame TRD Pro badges on the doors.

MOST importantly, Toyota skimped and unlike Chevy or Ford, don't have like an "SS" badge for supercharged models. Shell out the moolah, the people need to recognize!

 

You should see the "Supercharged" badge that came with the blower, it's even worse than the 3rd Gen Pro badges! Lemme find a photo

 

@Gunshot-6A here it is. Is that a faux carbon fiber feel they're going for? With the cutesy font and spilled-glue shape?

 

I sold my Wrangler a few years ago and was most excited about not having to friggin' wave at people anymore.
Don't you be going and starting this waving crap back up with the yotas. I wave to other inferno Tunnys (like 3 in the whole state). I turn my nose up at the others.

 

I decided to count the 3rd gens I saw on the road this weekend as I drove around town. I took three 5 mile trips and saw 4-6-4 3rd gen Tacomas. There were about as many 2nd gens as well.

 

I only wave to other base SR Tacoma drivers, especially if it’s a Silver Poverty Package like mine. Call me an elitist, I don’t care.
