    I get more compliments about the license plate. I did however make a comment about another guy Tacoma that was way nice than mine. The good thing is that I wasn't in my truck when I said that. LOL.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    My compliments are usually people getting in and being like " damn your truck is growing on me". My friends are usually the ones giving the kind words.

    I get compliments all the time from people I know. Especially from girls.

    Everytime I'm in public and say I drive a Toyota Tacoma someone always pipes and says the same damn thing "good trucks, they'll last forver". On occasion I get the jap truck shit from some of the local "rednecks" from my school who drive brand new domestics daddy bought with drop bracket lifts and rebel flag rear window decals. I just roll my eyes.

    I dont get any since i just got it 3 weeks ago and everything is pretty much stock. My other car on the other hand, I get compliments every time I take it out. Took it today to stater bros to get some distilled water and got 2 compliments alone on it, and other people on the road always give me thumbs up and what not.

    I firmly believe it is related to location. While I may get a couple compliments back home from friends, theres easily half a dozen other tacomas lifted on 35's that make mine look like a sandbox toy, sure their parents probably bought it for them but whatever. That's home in Oregon though, here on the Cape, no one lifts except for the Heeps, and most of those guys don't take nearly half as much care as the average person for their truck! Its easy to stand out here, I guess

    I don't think people really see your truck when you're near it. They're probably looking at you. :)
