Hey man, can’t be an enthusiast without some enthusiasm.

Jeeze, nice rig!

You’ve got me looking up all of these trails now. This is a bad thing for me...

Yeah, but this the shortest model you can get. Hence:

Haha, perfect.

Thanks! Yours too! I’ve been eyeballing roof racks like yours for a little while now...

I want nothing more than to make it to a Summit. As a FL boy however, it’s a long haul. Unfortunately mine spends more time on road jumping medians and crossing flooded roads than off.

And then every chance I get to hit a trail... oh man, it’s good.

Yay! FJC!

Hah! I totally know this feeling as well. It’s just this kind of mix of pleasant surprise and comfort where there really should be none, which then becomes surprising all over again. I tried to explain it once while driving the most spartan early 90s corolla known to man in a blizzard... I was told that it’s just me.

St. Bernardus Christmas Ale?

Agreed. This one is right up there.

Vintage Phillips.

He still is when he shows up every now and again.

I really enjoyed this. Thanks!

But what can I say, I like my power steering, cruise control, AC, and power windows.

They have a bit more growl from inside the car. From outside... yeah, there’s not much.

Hey, what’s a bitch to you is an afternoon a few beers to me I guess. Get some jack stands and get dirty.

I also would. The 1.6 is as playful as anything out there, and I also think it sounds a bit better than the 1.8... although they both sound like Japanese I4’s, so...

But you can install one easily.

Dude... All I saw was a stealth FJ. Sorry.
