    Default Wife Calls This Big Mechanical Skunk

    When I was picking up final paperwork for my FJ, the dealer just got a black one in stock. My wife said she was glad I didn't get that one because it looks like a "gambazao mechanico" (big mechanical skunk). Do you agree?

    That's a model right?

    Anywho - I dig it. but I dig FJ's
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Instead of a skunky looking one, it would look better in all black. Good vehicle all the way around though!

    It looks tons better in all black.

    Darin, I thought it looked like a model too.

    The photo is a model, but it best illustrates the "skunk" look. If you paint the top part black, you devalue the vehicle because it's no longer "correct".

    The color is OK but she might appreciate the white top in the blazing sun. Either way... very nice.

    Either way, get it and get it dirty.

    You guys need to stop using the FJ in reference as it's starting to fuck with my head. FJ can't be discussed in a thread with fj.

    It's purely coincidental. As Sigmund Freud would say "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". Of course Sigmund Freud never met BJ (Bill Jefferson) Clinton.
