September 20, 2006, 2:59 pm : My FJ Cruiser Rules

That pretty much says it all. I got an FJ Cruiser, mainly because one of the other guys in the office has one and I was dark red with envy. To put this all behind me I got a dark red FJ, one of the many perks of working on a car brand, especially one that makes such tasty trucks. It brought back memories of driving around in my friends’ old International Harvester trucks when we were young stoners in North Dakota, bored and driving big dumb trucks long before they were cool. I immediately took FH out to the desert to live out my off-roading fantasies. Unfortunately, my fantasy should have included reading how to engage the 4WD because I sank this sucked in the sand shortly after I took these pics.
With a little calm thinking (and some desperate text messaging for instructions) I got FJ to literally jump out of the sand and back on the asphalt in no time. Can’t wait to take FJ up the mountain, loaded with snowboards and comic books very very soon…..
