    We're not that exclusive.

    I'd venture 85+% of all owners are neither enthusiasts or even know of this forum.

    I wanted to when I got mine.

    But then I noticed how many there were and eventually my arm would fall off or I’d get discouraged from people just not caring. Lol

    As someone said, a lot of Tacoma owners just don’t care about Taco Love or this forum.

    Closest I’m going is a silent nod by parking next to a Tacoma if I can. Or 4Runner.

    The only Tacomas I see waving at me are the modded ones. Although an occasional modded Jeep and Chevy has thrown me an unprovoked wave. Sometimes i throw a wave at other Jeeps not realizing I'm not driving the TJ that day. Surprisingly, most wave back.

    There's a couple cherried-out tacos in my area, we wave. All the others are retirees or women who do not seem to care about my friendly waving.

    As mentioned, it seems the only ones who acknowledge a wave or nod of the head are those with modded Tacos. Most others ignore you or give you a strange look.
    If you're displaying a TacomeWorld decal or an OBT decal I personally feel you should acknowledge a wave or head nod.

    Only Car/Truck people have a real appreciation for what kind of vehicle they drive. The rest are just vehicle operators. They'd almost operate anything with 4 tires and a steering wheel.

    I give the super cool/macho finger wave from the steering wheel of my Tacoma to other Tacomas. I get an estimated 5% or below response rate.

    I do the same in my Mustang for an estimated 85% response rate.

    Pic is for representative purposes only, it’s not me, I typically do three fingers:

    When i had my Jeep. Only the true Jeepers would wave. I used to wave at all the jeeps . But then you got soccer moms having no idea why you’re waving at them
    I do miss my jeep but it wasn’t built very well 4A2CF43E-2A81-47B3-A2C2-6B40B7E354BD.jpg
