    I like the term taco, but I use Tacoma more often. My father is not real pleased with the term. It might be an old person thing.:boink:

    Saw a girl driving a Tacoma the other day. License plate said "LILTACO" . . .

    An hour later, I stopped laughing and started wiping up all the Dr Pepper I spit all over the windshield and dash.

    TACO! TACO, TACO, TACO!!!
    I find nothing demeaning about it, it's a friggin' nickname.
    A demeaning nickname is "You horrid piece of shit", which is how I often refered to my old S10.

    The only time I was asked not to use Taco was by my boss when I submitted an expense report that included "Fuel for Taco". :D
