    My wife hates it when I spot a tacoma and check it out......she's like "ooohhhh does it have something yours don't?"......they just don't understand that we are simply admiring a great truck. Men don't size up their Tacoma to another Tacoma.........never

    kinda how my wife felt about my old Road King about 10 years ago...

    her: "you mean after buying a 20 thousand dollar motorcycle...it needs 10K in mods?"

    me: "yes"

    her: "I'm going shoe shopping...be back next week" :D

    No GF now. Last gf thought i was retarded because of my obsession. Never understood tw and thought my taco was just another pickup. I remember many of fights because i never had cash for her because of my taco. And she'd get mad when id spent the day washing and detailing my taco over seeing her haha. But hey, she had no room to talk with her mustang...spending hours on end helpin her wash it and she never once helped with my taco..she hated it cause i loved it more than her:D

    My GF drives a V8 Dodge Ram Crew Cab, so she thought my Double Cab Tacoma was "little and cute"... Then I pulled up in front of her friends house for a party and her friends thought my truck (and the driver) was sexy... My GF appreciates my truck much more now... :)

    The GF also doesn't understand TW, she thinks it is nerdy... I just explained that I could be nerding out over something like PlayStation or some junk. TW is much less nerdy...

    when i first bought my 2010 DCSB, the wife said it was ok. modded the hell out of it and she hated it (damn communist)

    she always liked xrunners and thinks they are sexy and ive always wanted one. i traded in my DCSB about 8 months ago for the X. now i have an X and she hates it all over again. WTF? :confused:

    she REALLY hates it when i get on the throttle and will not co-pilot when i go to the drag strip. apparently im gonna flip and roll my truck 116 times in a straight line
