So what type of reactions are you having from people regarding your FJ?
Leave stories here regarding the publics reaction to your FJ.

So far I have been pulled over by a cop just to see the FJ.
Had two people taking pictures of the FJ in parking lots.
Had a CalTrans worker, point and say, "What the Hell is that??"
And several people on the freeway driving from one side of the FJ to the other then to the front and back just to see it.....
Any other funny stories out there?

So far:

First night was pulled by a cop in my neighborhood to see what it was.
Had a guy taking pics with his phone while I passed him today.
Lots of 'What is that?' questions.
A buddy of mine asked me if I paid more than 45 grand.
Tons of gawkers everywhere I go.
Women love the look and will come over to take a look and ask questions. Caught two grandmothers looking in the windows at the grocery store.

The trainee sales girl from the dealership has called three times asking to go for a ride. She was pretty cute, so I'm probably going to call her back.

I Saw some factory FJ's this afternoon pulling trailers apparently on their way back from a day in the mountains (blue and yellow one). They waved and honked as they drove by. I was flying rc gliders on the side of the road south of Boulder, CO.

A lady walked into a Toyota dealership to browse, and
spotted the most
beautiful, perfect "loaded" FJ - and walked over
to
inspect it closer.
As she bent forward to feel the fine
upholstery, an unexpected
little burst of flatulence escaped her.
Very embarrassed, she anxiously looked around to see
if anyone had
noticed.
There standing behind her was a salesman with a
pleasant smile who
greeted her, "Good day, Madame, how may we help you
today?"
Trying to maintain an air of sophistication and
acting as though nothing
had happened, she smiled back and asked, "Sir, what
is the price of this
lovely vehicle?"
Still smiling pleasantly, he replied, "Madame, I'm
very sorry to say
that if you farted from just touching it, you're
gonna sh*t when you
hear the price.

Not the kinda stories you were looking for?

Oh, ya at a party last night at a friends place, his girlfriend asked me if I like babies (they have a 6 month old) because she could leave him for me and my FJ Cruiser.

I can't get any peace and quiet where ever I park. I really like my SunFusion FJ but so does everyone else!! I can't wait until there are more of the FJs around so I can enjoy mine all by myself.

Aside from being encircled by vehicles on the freeway, wide eyed looks of astonishment from passersby there is something very peculiar going on, perhaps a recall issue...see what you can make of this:

Everytime I leave the FJ unattended for five or more minutes I return to find an oily film on my windows...the residues resemble face-like sillouhettes, palm prints...what looks like a couple nostrils in the center...I windex the windows hourly but every time I come back, same thing! Maybe some weird UV coating issue...gonna call the dealer in the morning.

See if a little Cayenne pepper in the windex helps

Haven't had a lot yet, but I did have people circling 'round it in a parking lot at lunch yesterday. The couple were driving through the shopping center parking lot, saw it, and pulled in to park beside it.

They then spent ~3 minutes circling it and peering in the windows, while I sat 20 feet away and watched.

Today, we were cruising on the freeway, when we were caught by a couple in a new H3; they looked longingly at us as we exited the offramp. I found myself grinning and saying "ha! They so bought the wrong car and they know it."

I feel like a celebrity when I drive the FJ lotsa wtf? looks.

The mail guy got out to check it out
I was parked near the Police stations, saw some cops taking pictures of it. They were cool took them for a ride he told me puch it. I was like you gonna give me a ticket? he was like just punch it. Got to go around 100mph.
Has had lots of people ask me what kinda car it is.
Girl told me it looks like a funky hummer and that it makes sense because toyota owns hummer :S
Biker hung out with us while wheeling on the FJ


and the sad thing. I caught a little kid (18-19) standing on my roof, while I was at the store. Ran to the car and beat the living **** out him. Had a friend who owns a FJZ80 help me out kick his ass. He dented it, though it looks like it can be popped out easily. Gotta get me though little sucking things.
