2 FJ's next door to my work....

I'm a total nooooob here!
Last Friday, I noticed a Voodoo Blue pull in the driveway next to my work. I had seen pics of this from a car show and on the net and thought "Wow", that looks pretty kewl".
Well, I leave work that evening and decide to Stop at my local Toy Dealer in HB, CA to drive one.........of course I find out this truck is not yet available!

So today at work I walked next door and sure enough there it is.........no roof rack.....looked like 2wd........a guy walking to his car tells me the company that has this FJ is a Magazine of sorts and does car reviews. Then he tells me there is another FJ (Silver) on the other side of the building. The Silver had the roof rack and was definately 4wd.
One observation I had was on the interior door panels.........they had the same cheap plastic material that the door panels on my Prius has.....Scratches really easy (my dog hangs out there while riding with me).

I can probably get plenty of pics if your guys would like to see?

Again with the loss of keyboard to Cali's sarcasm. I swear, I'm gonna own stock in apple just for the cost of replacement keyboards from spewing drinks out my nose.

Yes, sir - we would all love to see the pictures. Also, it wouldn't hurt to beg him to let you drive it!

Hey, it's worked in the past.

Don't try the "Have your wife ask for you ploy"....it's been used and you'll lose points on originality.
