I can't see putting the TRD emblem on my car ever. Whenever I see the TRD stickers/plaques, the first thing that pops in my head is tard or turd.
I know what the TRD stands for so every other part of the population, 99.9999%, that doesn't know what TRD stands for is definitely thinking the same thing.
I really don't care what somebody thinks of my car but I don't want people asking why I drive a special tard/turd edition around either. Whoever at Toyota that came
up with that acronym should have know better.

No. The 99.9999% does not see Turd or Tard they see TRD and have no clue what it means. Only those with a preconceive notion or that have had that put in their heads read more into it.

I've only ever had Chevy vehicles up til this car. I always read it quickly as turd until seeing the smaller "oyota acing evelopment" on some of the stickers.

Pronounce the acronym FRT. Is that Ford Racing Team or fart for most people?

Hmmmm don't see a vowel in there at all. I always just read it as T.R.D. even when I had no clue what it meant.

That's because it's silent but deadly. Or is that the Ford Racing Team slogan?
