furious taco

[puckdodger]

Hey folks had a good one last night I thought the group might enjoy....

wife and I were in my truck at a light and when it turned green, a Taco was coming from the other direction and when he hit the gas it made all kinds of noise and fury and grunting and groaning and took off at about, oh, roughly the speed of stink.

I wasn't gonna say anything because she is a girly girl and doesn't pay much mind to that stuff, but she turns and asks "what the heck is wrong with that truck???". I just said that is a truck for dudes with low self regard, feelings of inadequacy, and concerns about their virility. and then we finished up the rest of the chores and had a general feeling of contentedness because i don't drive a shitheap like that.

Lol, bet your wife is glad she has a real man.

Be nice. Perhaps he inherited it from an estate sale and was transporting it to the autowreckers.

When you have TURD stamped on your ass you should expect all that noise, fury, grunting and groaning going on. ?

Had one pass me the other day. Was lifted with larger tires. Had a loud exhaust. Funny part was, at 70 mph it wouldn't stay in high gear. You could hear the exhaust change every time it down shifted and back up. Which after four or five miles got annoying for me to listen to. Had to really suck inside, but then he was driving a toyota so there's that.

My best friend drives a Tacoma. I tried to steer him away, but was unsuccessful. His wife has some vendetta against domestic manufacturers. They own a '22 Tacoma, '17 Corolla iM, and a beater '04 Tundra (which to its credit has like 360,000mi on the stock drivetrain with no issues).

Lol.
I've had a few other trucks, including a fellow 5Ger try to race me from a traffic light.


Whatever dudes, insecure men trying to assert dominance in mass produced product make me laugh.

Owned a 19 ranger. Now own new Tacoma.
They both feel the same on full throttle acceleration. The ranger sucked in every way so i got rid of it. Love my new truck, it runs and drives great, unlike the ranger. They are both basically slow, I needed a reliable utility truck, if I want to go fast, I have something else to drive for that.Always cracks me up that guys think a 278hp 4500 lb brick is some kind of rocket ship street racer.

I mean it's no rocket racer but is kinda peppy for what it is.

I'll agree with you on the "rocket ship street racer", but sorry you had a bad 5g, they arent all bad.

I'll give the 5g credit, it's quick.
but so is a Caravan with the kids and loaded with groceries.
Those that claim to have beaten sports cars etc, my guess is they met an equivalent RedDakooter05. You didn't win, you just had someone who thought you were a twat and didn't try. Sometimes you have to concede the participation trophy to make some people feel good. Raise it high and proud boys, you only think you won.

I'm out. You win today!!!!!!?

Most unbiased comparisons rate the Ranger a little better. But...the new Tacoma may well be better than the new '04 Ranger, we'll see.

I've never seen a 5G Ranger with a carolina squat

I have never seen a 5G Ranger with wheels completely past the fenders.

Just saying.
