SPOTTED THIS

Beauty while driving to get some food so decided to get a pic next to it cuz it was too nice of a truck to pass up...haha lol i wish this R8 was mine

 

off topic but how much does it cost you to fill up and to plate a taco in germany?

 

I like the tacoma and all .........BUT DAMN THE R8 IS SWEET!!!!!!

 

I looked at the truck more then the Audi!!!! I'd still take the Tacoma....

 

Tacoma for me too! Crazy, I know.

 

thats a sexy car, but youve got a nice truck too! i wouldnt mind having a driveway with both of those haha

 

I live in Stuttgart, Tacoma is registered with USAREUR (US) and gas is about $4.20 on post. Economy is about 1.6 € per liter or $9 per gallon.

 

yea u got that right, here last i checked was 4.30 a gallon and to have it plated for 2 years since it is a 2011 it only cost me like $60

 

its a nice car but a tacoma will go places the R8 wouldnt of dream to go, are you pretty much the only guy out there with a tacoma or are they pretty common?

 

there has to be at least 5 to 10 on my installation alone and there are three other areas in Stuttgart.

 

A sweeter pic would be the Taco parked up on the hood
Work on that for us??

 

haha next time i see the R8 ill make sure to drive on its hood lol, no there are like 3 other tacomas here on my instalation as well, i dont think any of them are on taco world tho, looks like there might have to be a meet here in germany for us taco owners

 

bump

 

nice to know that they will allow a lifted truck to drive around Germany, just in case I get sent there...

 

Great pic... I bet that guy was scoping your truck out too.

In 1993, I had my lifted, 1991 blue over silver, Chevy Z71 Ext Cab shipped over to Germany. At that time, U.S. made trucks were rare over there. I got more looks and compliments from Germans than I would have imagined.

FUNNY STORY: Two months before I PCS'd (moved for you non-mil types) back to the states, an old German man comes up to me at a grocery store, hops in my cab (yes, into the passenger seat!), and immediately offers me $22,000 Deutsche Marks... about $29,000 U.S. at the time. I couldn't believe it. My truck looked great but has 110K on it--and I only paid $21K new.

We met the next day and I had a certified bank draft from one of the major banks in Germany at the time. Turns out, he was Vice Prez of that bank.

 

I'd take the R8 myself, then sell it , and have few tacomas!

 

Lucky you!!

 

At what tmie in history was a German Mark worth more than a $? At the best case scenario that I ever remember, 22,000 German Marks were worth about $16,500 or so. Even today, with the Dollar down, 22K German Marks = 11,000 Euros = $16,000.

 

How can that person even afford groceries. Lol it cost 1500$ for a dame oil change on That beastly car

 

what?? where did you hear that??
