    This thread probably doesn't go here, but.... Since I was driving my Tacoma (2011 DCSB) I'll post here.

    I'm out having lunch, driving back to work, when something catches my eye. It's the most pristine mid 70's FJ Land Cruiser I've seen since, well, the mid 70's. Old Man Emu lift kit, Goodrich Mud terrain radials, MT wheels, Warn winch, etc....Without looking, I yank the steering wheel to the left and make a u turn! Talked to the owner. He has 6 other Land Cruisers. My heart is still pounding! I got a picture on my cell phone. Trying to upload it and will try to post as soon as I can.

    So you almost rolled your truck to talk to someone that owned an FJ? Makes sense.....

    Anything 4wd....has my attention. Then throw in rare vehicles......REALLY gets my attention......And make that a really rare Toyota 4wd, and my driving skills sorta go flying out the window! For some reason, I'm having difficulty sending the pictures from cell to computer. (Might be because I have a 15 year old flip phone...;) )

    I'm with you, I love anything with a motor for the most part. But risking rolling my truck to talk to someone about their truck, not sure if that's going to be worth it.

    I'd venture to say the near barrel roll was an exaggeration.

    Well...I MIGHT have exaggerated the "roll over" thingy just a tic....But I did flip out the guy driving along side of me when I ran through the median to get a quicker u turn! Old 4wds and old Camaro's...Gonna be the cause of me losing my license one of these days!
