My camera settings are goofy - too much glare.  The car's actually a sand color but it looks washed out. When I finally head back to the US, if I can part with my truck (a Toyota, also), the FJ will be my ride of choice.  It would be equally practical now, but there were not sold in Mexico when I moved here, so I would have had a hard time with servicing. Great looking FJ, though!   I like it too, Martin.  I doubt I'll ever drive it, though!  I never once drove his old one!  It's not too kid-friendly because the back seat is hard to get in and out of.   _________________ "The brain is easily the least intelligent organ in the body." -- Dave Barry Back to top Lisa Super poster Status: Joined: 08 Nov 2008 Posts: 2281 Location: Oklahoma City Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 12:12 am    Post subject: Lion wrote: Lisa, I bet Dave really looked great in glasses.

Mireyna, I've totally hijacked Joe's thread but in keeping with "car talk" lingo I can call it a "front end alignment."    Or maybe, a headlight adjustment?  Turning the low-beams into high-beams?   _________________ "The brain is easily the least intelligent organ in the body." -- Dave Barry Back to top ABS Super poster Status: "Mireyna" Favourite Watch: the ones that work right!

And if these changes make both of you happier then everybody wins!!! _________________ Life is not a dress rehearsal!!!

Now this    makes a little more sense from the other day.  I didn't want to presume anything, but I sorta figured. And regarding the hijack...I'm sure Joe won't mind the subject deviation...after all, it is keeping in line with the original subject...gifts.   _________________ Cheers all!!

Will he actually take it off-road, or is it just for driving on the sidewalk to get through the congestion in OKC? Maybe Joe should post some of his redneck toys (not the tricycle, the 4-wheeler/UTV).  Your kids are old enough to drive here in Mexico...send Dave down here w/ his FJ and the kids.  There are thousands of miles of trails, and virtually no laws, so you can drive anywhere you want. Every weekend I see groups of folks on motorcycles (not the street-legal kind) and 4-wheelers & UTV's, cruising down the middle of the road, heading for the mountains.  They drive right past the cops and they could care less.  It's also normal to see 5 year old kids sitting on their parents lap, steering the car.  Heck, I almost hit a Jeep the other day on my bicycle; the kid driving could barely see over the steering wheel...he was probably 12 or 13, and his mother is shooting me dirty looks like I did something wrong by yelling at her for her kid cutting me off (and the other two cars behind me).  Mexico is so much fun. Hell, GTG in Mexico!  Bring the FJ, Joe can bring the Merc, and the rest of you can bring whatever you wish.  I'll supply the refreshements.   _________________ Cheers all!!
