Re: Insults to your FJ

My next door neighbor bought an LR3. I told him he should follow me on a couple trails. He replied, "noway, you'll have to follow me". That comment lasted all about 2 weeks when I asked if he wanted to go to the beach and he couldn't because his new truck was in the shop for a faulty airbag suspension compressor. I said nothing to him (actually felt a little bad), but my wife and I got a good laugh within the confines of our home!

Re: Insults to your FJ

I was driving my girlfriend at the time to get dinner. A hummer comes the other way and she say, "Oh look honey, another FJ!!!" as it passes by.

We're choosing to see other people...!

Re: Insults to your FJ

I've only gotten praise so far. Someone comes over every second time I fill it up with gas (so that would be like real often ). They notice it's a Toyota and ask 'what kind of Toyota is that', 'looks really cool', etc. Nobody has mistaken it for a Hummer, people here aren't that stupid.

I was worried whether treehuggers would attack it, but I think they go more for the nonsensical narc dealer Hummers with low-profile tires and tinted windows, cruising around downtown, as opposed to my dirty FJ that looks a bit more purposeful.

Re: Insults to your FJ

I really hate it when people call it "CUTE!"

Re: Insults to your FJ

Parking Attendant: I didn't know they made 'em that little.

Me: Huh?

PA: Hummers

I drove off without a word of explanation

Re: Insults to your FJ

I have had a few of my buddies ask why I chose "Gay Pride Blue" in reference to my VooDoo blue cruiser.....

Re: Insults to your FJ

well, mine was called "cute" a few times...

My brother called it a "fake Jeep"

Then the mods took off and I ran my brother off the trail.... He has a Jeep and well, my 2wd Fj took HIM OUT!!!!!!
