My brother's new ride

[EmersonHart13]

I am sure a few of you remember this:

FS: 2005 Pontiac GTO - $16,900 (obo) http://www.thechicagogarage.org/forum/showthread.php?t=32142

Well his new vehicle is finally 'done'

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4WD 'slightly customized'

It's not super detailed or anything... But I still think it looks good. Inside is stock minus a Pioneer Nav unit.

thats kinda cool

 

[IDAFC21]

not bad!

 

[PANDA]

I think that is pretty gay. (This is my opinion)

 

[MuffHugger]

yea.. thats slightly retarded....

from a GTO to that?


kinda like SilentD going from a cobalt to that turdgen/intrepid...


is this a joke?

 

[Riski]

I like it....Looks good blacked out

 

[DanJ]

Are you guys serious? Not everyone is only concerned with going as fast as they can in a straight line.

 

[Riski]

I think it needs a lift and some fat off road tires to set it off....urban assualt vehicle!

 

[Euro]

meh, definitely not a fan

Its not really about his previous car. Some people need practicality. Its just a FJ Cruiser.... and its purple. Like I said, my opinion.

I have mixed feelings about this car. Can it actually do some off-roading, or does it just sorta look like it.

 

[bikrboy128]

looks like a hot wheels car i played with as a kid.

do not want.

I am kind of curious about this as well.

 

[bikrboy128]

i've heard these arent good for off roading. their drivetrains are weak.

It's Black Cherry.

 

[bikrboy128]

dark cherry metallic

 

[DanJ]

I'm glad someone else thought of that. That is the actual name of the color though.

agree to disagree...

they do pretty well from what i have read and seen...



fuck yeah for your bro... those things are super badass... better on paper than the h3... (gas mileage/performance/off road capabilities) and looks unique as hell... id love to get an fj, but cant find one in my price range that isnt yellow...

yeah. fucking crazy amounts of potential there... i am jealous of your brother for sure... looks super good without the lame white roof also... now lift it!

and fast in a straight line is super relative here also...

 

[DanJ]

I like the way the TRD editions look as well.

 

[epik_x]

Now thats more like it!

 

[Yaj Yak]

exactly. they have soooo much potential... thats "just" a 6inch lift...

 

[Yaj Yak]

. From a standstill, the FJ's 239 horses needed just 7.6 seconds to reach 60 mph and only 15.9 ticks at 86.1 mph to eclipse the quarter mile--times nearly identical to the Xterra's (7.7, 15.8 at 87.4) and figures that smoke the H3's (11.3, 17.7 at 77.6).

Thanks guys, when he bought it a few weeks ago it looked like the attached.

This is the DD go anywhere vehicle. A new toy is coming but the GTO sucked in the snow so it had to go... To my Dad... It's still in the family so the little hissy fits about it can stop. My brother is upgrading to a better toy sometime next year. No lift for now, mostly because it won't fit in the garage. But it will probably happen in the future.

Oh and as far as the color jokes. It is an 07 with 40K on the clock, almost totally loaded for 12K. KJ knows that is a steal, no matter the color, but most of the cheap ones are yellow. And it isn't purple and I think it looks awesome in this two tone color combo he has going.

 

[Yaj Yak]

u fucking got that for 12?!?!?!?!?!?!?!????!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

FUCK


i can barely find them in the teens, let alone for fucking 12. fml.
