http://i.imgur.com/lRRss.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Kt5UY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gbWfG.jpg Won't be doing any major working part mods anytime soon. Don't want to void the warranty just yet. $36k OTD, $1k down, $700 monthly, and $100 to fill up (19gal). Yes, I paid, and will pay, for it all. :D The green Volkswagen Jetta GLS in the first picture is my old ride. Edit: TL isn't resizing the images anymore (broke?) so I stripped out the IMG BBCode so they're links now.  | ||

@ TadH, don't come into a blog just bashing a guy's new ride. Not cool. Anyhow, http://www.amaesing.net/amaesingdecals.html Was the first thing that my coworker put on his truck, a few months after getting it. It actually helps quite a bit, I don't know how much driving you have done with it yet, but on really sunny days the glare on the hood is atrocious. Also if you get roof lights and do off-roading your roof lights will glare like a mother fucker on the flat hood. Cheap, and his is silver too and it looks great. Just don't rush yourself installing it so that it lines up properly and you're all set.  | ||

Not worth getting into anything about it. Fair enough. I kind of like the truck also, but that is a lot of money for that particular truck. But if he's happy then that is all that matters I guess. | ||

I had a hunch it was Cali. There's a HUGE FJ club out California way. I, unfortunately, live just outside of Washington DC. Long ways away. | ||

Should have gone with a 2-3 year old BMW X3 or 3-series for that price, IMO. | ||

Yea, there's a huge FJ club around here and lots of places go take the truck out for a ride. On May 10 2011 05:56 Gatsbi wrote: He's from San Diego.

But really, nice ride. I hope you're not one of those aggressive drivers who tailgate the shit out of people just because they have a big ass vehicle. I see them almost every day and I trap them in whenever they tailgate me (drive between two cars then maintain speed so they can't switch lanes). A bit immature of me but they are one of my biggest pet peeves. >_< And the thing is, I don't even drive slow; they just try to go way too fast (I'm constantly going 75-80 on the freeway and I'm never in the left-most lane). So yeah, don't be an ass! | ||

So yeah, don't be an ass! I'm one of those douchebags. Lol. I'm not aggressive nor do I tailgate, but I just want to go fast. So I do try to get out of the traffic bunch, but I promise I'm really careful about it :p ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/aTiZN.jpg) Lurve my car. <3 People around here will go 45 down the 60 speed limit roads in the leftmost, center, and rightmost lane. Everyone is either on their phone or just driving TOO safe. There comes a point where driving nice and slow and careful actually makes YOU the road hazard...because everyone trying to go 60-70 on the road has to get around you and that's when the accidents happen. I used to have a big ole Jeep cherokee (1988 :D) but two years ago the timing belt snapped and I didn't feel like fixing it anymore, so we got rid of it. That thing NEVER saw a mechanic, did all the work at home. Don't have the garage space for my car so bawls to it! I am, however, getting me a new big giant truck, and will be taking it off road constantly - it's a lot of fun :D | ||

So yeah, don't be an ass! Ah, hell no. I don't do that, but now that I have my FJ I've noticed a lot of people are tailgating me to ride off of the less wind resistance behind my truck. It gets really annoying when it's a smaller car doing it so I break check them, haha. | ||
