Day 2 of ownership… so I guess this is a thing

[Romeo]

Got my new Tacoma yesterday. We met some friends at a local micro-brewery. It was the truck’s debut. Came out to find a random “Tacoma buddy” parked next to my blue one. This is my 3rd Tacoma. I don’t recall this being a thing with my ‘96 or ‘01.

I prefer that over some hooptie inches from the drivers door

This happens to me all the time. I'll have to start taking photos to post here.

At one point I had three of mine (after sale) in a row. ‘01, ‘09, & ‘16… it’s a thing.

Definitely a thing because we know we won't door ding each other.

Exactly! We respect our trucks and know other Taco owners do too, so parking by them is a safety in numbers thing. I also tend to see truck of all makes parked together because truck owners value their rides more than people driving anonymous, look alike SUVs.

I wasn't sure about that myself, I'm just over a year in ownership, with about 20k miles on mine, but haven't noticed any other "Tacoma Buddies" parking next to me other than say in the last 3 weeks, I found next to my truck after coming out of the movies on two separate occasions a 24+ Tacoma sitting next to mine. Both were lifted, and looked good. But yea was wondering that myself.

My other car is a MINI, and this is Rule #1 in MINI circles.

At first I thought it was odd that other Tacomas would want to park next to me.
(Sorry for the far away picture) I took this on the second floor of the mall overlooking the parking lot where someone conveniently parked next to me.

It’s almost as if they’re protecting me from door dingers at the mall.

Yes its a thing............... it helps us protect each other truck from %ssholes!
