That a different kind of test drive alright. Glad there was no damage to the FJ. Makes my skin craw when I see one that has gotten dented up!

nope, no dents not even a scratch to the receiver hitch. just happy there wasn't a break it, buy it situation because the one we tested out had every imaginable thing and was marked up accordingly plus some. but seriously how do you not see the brightest color they come in.

KIA stands for Killed In Action to anyone who has actually been active in Korea. I think it is a nice thing you did (backing up like that).

Even without any obvious damage I sure hopw they disclose that it got rearended- I would not like to pay for a loaded FJ under the impression it's factory fresh and find out different!

Re: kinda sucks but lol anyway

I watched a semi sitting at a light this morning roll backwards into a cab (while the cab was blaring his horn). Looks like he was just off the clutch, brake and rolled backwards. What a crunch!

Re: kinda sucks but lol anyway

man thats sucks about the semi wreck. i hate wrecks. yeah, no i didn't back up into the kia lol. he went ahead and ran into me. and yeah the sales kid was brand new he was younger than me i can't believe he wasn't going to tell the higher ups. needless to say i'll never buy an fj from that dealership. if you look at my location you'll know the one i speak of theres only one. just didn't wanna say its name to be nice haha.
