what does your "better half" think of your tacoma obsession?

Dont have to worry about a gf, it's my friends lol. They seem to think all Toyota's suck, even though they probably know deep down that in 15 years I will likely still be driving the same truck and their Chevy, Mazda, and Pontiac will probably be in a scrap yard somewhere! Although my friend that drives the lifted Chevy lightened up a bit on my Tacoma after I let him drive it during a super long day on the road and I needed to nap, he really had a fun time driving that 5 speed!

 

Pffft. Commitment.


When they start whining is when you rotate them out for a new'n.

 

Luckily our taco is the wife's, so she all game!

 

i was expecting something far more harsh from you haha

 

my girlfriend thinks im stupid for spending the kinda money i do on my truck

 

My wife thinks it's a little ridiculous. She likes to go offroading, but thinks that the obsession is a little out of hand.

 

my gf hates the time and money I spend.
HATES when i talk about the new parts I'm getting.
I guess after 13 1/2 years and no ring on the finger with mod after mod the last 2 years has really taken its toll!!

 

My fear is that, if i die, my girlfriend will sell my truck for what I said i paid for it. Ha ha, just kidding. I've been totally straight up with her, she knows exactly what i paid AND how much i love that truck. She loves it too and was there the day i bought it. That would change if we couldn't afford to eat because of some new mod i added. Common sense?

The moral of the story is that i love that truck but in the end, it's just a thing. My girlfriend is a gift from the gods.

 

Just spent $2000 on these...she's not pleased.

Nah, she's cool with it...its just that she wants a pair of shoes every time I "upgrade" my truck.

 

Learn from this dude below.

Wisely spoken....preach it to the one above bro

 

agreed......were not exactly starving......
but i did just buy a Toytec ULK with Dakars and LR UCA's
mooowhooooooohaaaahahahahahaaha!!!!!

 

She thinks i'm silly about my truck, and how much time and $$ i've put in it. But it helps that just about wherever we go together, in the truck, she notices people looking at it, or asking about it. She also tells me while i'm driving when people are checking out my wheels and tires at stop signs or red lights....I don't say anything i just look at her and smile

 

He wishes I'd put a lift on it, already.

 

My truck and the wifey's xterra. She loves my Tacoma! except for the fact that she has to hop in to get into it and she just ordered me Spidertraxx as a bday gift lol. woohooo

 

after 26 years together...22 married...and countless trucks/cars/SUV's/motorcycles/boats...

my wife has long since given up on my vehicle addiction.

but, she has become rather fond of my Tacoma. it's easy to enter & exit, good on gas, inexpensive to own/operate, and has an interior much nicer and car/SUV like than most of the full size trucks I have owned.

however...she absolutely HATED my only other import truck, a 1986 Toyota reg cab 4x4 w/ manual tranny and not much else. I think a lot of it was the yellow-cream color paint. but that truck would go anywhere, and saved our ass many times when we used to live up north in snow country, and it was a great camping rig...and a good work truck back when I was a young carpenter contractor.

 

Mine gets a little upset that im under the hood of my truck atleast once every two weeks.

Other than that, she sees my wrench turning abilities as good, since she is one of those "oil has to be changed in a vehicle???" kind of people.

She's also starting to see my gun hobby as a good thing too.


She may be a keeper. Only time will tell.

 

My wife spent the better part of an evening brainstorming with me on the design of the swing out tire carrier or my new rear bumper on the way... Pretty much sums it up she likes the truck and doesn't mind the thousands put into it. Makes it even more fun!

 

Also, she hates all of my LED's and HID's on the truck. Thinks they look stupid and are gonna cause an accident... She doesn't like my muffler or wheels. She claims to like some stuff and then says all this bad stuff about my mods so I'm like uhhhh....

 

Parents- Dad loves that It's still in one piece and I keep investing hard earned money into it.

GF- She loves my truck but dosnt like that im always talking about TW or what reminded me of TW.

Idc.

 

The Wife's cool with it, It's cheaper and less drama than a mistress.
