    the girly friend likes my truck and doesen't mind the obsession (for now). she gets annoyed when i go out of my way to park next to other tacomas though, which i find funny. but over all she likes it and wants to go wheeling. i let her drive it the other night while i followed in her car.

    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

    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...
