    Do people who live in Tacoma Washington say they live in Taco?

    Demeaning probably isn't the right word. I'd say it's more silly and stupid to call our trucks a Taco.

    Some folks have no life sweating over the word Taco.

    What does he do when eating at a mexican food joint? I would like one of those corn or wheat shells filled with meat?

    Next will be my use of the word mexican...

    'Taco' does not exactly connote something that is durable or well-built. It sounds a bit like 'Yugo' on account of the ending syllable. I refer to mine as 'the Toyota'.

    Was I denying the multiple meaning thing? I just think calling my truck the slang term for vagina is gay. Call your truck a taco if you want to, I think its funny.

    Yep and your opinion of me matters soooo much
    That is funny.

    That sticker was wrong, the designers must be douche bags.
    Hey I wasn't the one necroposting with references towards me.
