I love the Toyota Tacoma. IMHO, the best truck ever is a Black, 4 wheel drive Toyota Tacoma with the Off Road package and some big friggin tires. It's the prettiest thing that I've ever seen. :D

Someone should start a pool to see who can guess how many weeks it'll be before we read about some bonehead trying that and getting P.O.'d because things turned out a bit differently.

you mean if you drop it off a sand dune... and it lands on sand... and they cut away when it lands... and theres nothing wrong with it... then it must be cool.

yeah.. my pinto can fall into a pile of sand and be ok, throw it off a building and ill be impressed

A pinto would probably survive a fall off a building - it took me years to destroy my parent's. :rolleyes:

Okay... So I've seen this truck cruising around town from time-to-time. Come to find out, I was at work... and just decided to run to my car to get my digital camera and this truck was parked two cars down from mine.. how could I resist? I have dubbed it "Super Truck"

each picture is about 180 - 200KB.. and I'm just on cable, so it may be slightly slow.... however, i find it to be well worth the click.

A few things to point out (they may be difficult to see in photos..)
This redneck must be a heck of a computer user.. because he's got the equivalent of case fans on his hood and fenders. one on each front fender... four on the hood...
He, of course, has a nascar plate on the front, a conserve wildlife plate on the back, and a second plate on the front...
I think he wants to tow an aircraft carrier (it is Jacksonville, after all... the Kennedy is in port, i think)
he can spotlight any deer, in front or behind him, for 3 miles (look at the lights on the roof)
TWO types of tires... in case that carrier gets stuck in the mud, he's still got traction on the back, but smaller tires in the front so it doesnt completely demolish his wonderful gas mileage
A yellow/orange flasher in the back... presumably for when he's stuck at the side of the road, changing a tire
Stickers all over his gas tank
Four.. yes, count them, FOUR mirrors..
The obligatory styrofoam big-gulp cup on the dash (anyone notice a sandal on the hood, near one of the fans?)
Last, but not least, a winch on the back to help pull him out when he IS stuck in the mud.

This truck is what every hummer aspires to be.
I want one. It is THE super truck.
