I wonder what BARFer's would think if people were tipping Tacomas. One could argue they're even more trendy/hipsterish than Smart cars.

It was more trendy to steal the cats off Tacos and Tundras, way before owning one was trendy/hipsterish. Go ahead, ask me how I know.

I mainly bought mine in '02 for trackdays. Hipsters don't do trackdays.

srs question...

do people really go cow tipping...?

I grew up on Long Island NY, when it was time to go to college my broke ass could only afford a state SUNY school in upstate NY, most of which is rural farm country. It was a huge rumor among the guys at school that you can go "cow tipping" in the farm areas around the schools upstate. The logic was that cows slept standing up and a few guys could sneak up and knock them over.
Having never been around cows, and being a young dumbass, this sounded possible and funny.
When I got to the college, my first year roommate was a farm boy, literally, his family had a huge ranch in a tiny town, lots of cattle and other farmy things. I asked him about cow tipping and he never heard of it, I explained it and he got emotional and almost violent. He couldn't understand why anyone would try that, think it is funny or anything. He said you even if you could knock it over (unlikely) you would probably break some of its ribs and maybe kill it. He thought is was the most fucked up thing he had heard and it reinforced his notion that all 'islanders' were assholes.
He was right. As I proved over and over again as the year went on.
I crashed his CB750 while drunk and later took his 73 camaro on a roadtrip to visit some friends at another school 4 hours away without asking him. The rear leafspring ripped through the floorboard on the drive back from NY rust. My friend and I jacked up the car and stuck a huge branch between the axle and floor and made it back to school.
He found out about my escapade before I even saw him. Good thing I was an excellent welder...I made it all better
oh my, good times.
