Why does Christian Bale stick with his old Tacoma?
You know, Christian Bale, the guy who can probably drive any car he wants, has been cruising around in the same Toyota Tacoma since 2003. Isn’t it interesting that someone with his fame and resources would choose to keep driving the same truck for over two decades? What’s the story behind his loyalty to this vehicle?
Just so you know, Christian Bale is worth around $120 million, yet he’s still dedicated to driving his Toyota until it completely gives out.
It’s not about the money, it’s about making a statement.
If I had that kind of money, I’d fully restore my ’07 manual Tacoma and keep it running forever, no matter what it takes.
I’ve got an ’07 Tacoma too, and while it’s mechanically sound, the paint is starting to show its age. Some parts have noticeable clear coat damage, and there are small bubbles forming on the main body. If it gets worse, I’m definitely planning to have it repainted.
I used to have a ’97 Tacoma. It survived five different deer collisions before the frame finally bent at over 270,000 miles. I really should have kept it. 
Are you trying to hit them on purpose?
Haha, right? I get that we all live in different places, but five? That’s crazy.
I’ve got a dozen deer constantly running around behind my house. It’s common to hear people honking and slamming on their brakes around dusk. I’ve lived here for 30 years and haven’t even come close to hitting one (knocking on wood as I say this.)
