I reported this in general, but I got a phone call from one of my buddies who was stuck in traffic on 680 sittin next to a Silver Fj with AT's on friday march 17th...
Black loaded FJC parked in front of Subway on Park Street in Alameda around 8am. I suspect that it is a training rig for the morons down at Ron Goode Toyota as it had mfg plates (i think - not dlr plates). I'd imagine it's one of a few that are probably circulating around the bay area at the moment.
Anyway, looked really slick - TRD rims with BFGs, rack, fully loaded - looked like an auto. Couldnt find the driver - checked in Subway, Peet's and Starbucks. Was gonna hit the person up for a ride or test drive or something. Going to be going down to Ron Goode today and inquire about it. Looked real slick - like the black now. Although I thought I wouldnt buy an FJ in the first year - I might have to reconsider - although it wont be until I can get one in a base configuration so I can afford all the upgrades I wanna slap on the sucker.
This is the first one Ive seen in the Bay Area - they're here.....
deal to cali == msrp + exact options that i want (ie built for me);
until then i shall wait. but i wanna one.
alameda - old people, chinese people and a few methheads sprinkled in along santa clara/buena vista. they're kicking all the black folks and latinos as the west side becomes gentrified with a huge housing development with 800k-1mil+ lots on former naval base - future cancer patients. the east side is nice, around park street/high street. 880 and trucks scary? no scarier than any other freeway round here.
