I guess I’m into going slower. It won’t be this clean ever again :bloated:

Ahh I missed the bloated face. :tspry: And that.

I had a 2011 Trail Teams. Loved it. Except when you’re the first person at the stop light, have fun with that.

Oh and the windshield is designed so that you catch every bug you drive past.

Yeah, I’ve noticed the lack of seeing stoplights. And the windshield bug thing. And the need to almost unbuckle the seatbelt to flip down the sun visors. Its cool, I’ve never had a car/truck that wasn’t irritating in some way. Why did you get rid of the FJ?

Kept the Saab, going to clean it up and boost it till it pops. 3" DP, exhaust, intercooler, etc are already done, was waiting for the tune till it wasn’t the DD anymore. :tspry:

Oh, FYI - Buy a decent pressure washer if you ever want to wash it. Of the 20 vehicles I’ve had…this was the biggest PITA to wash.

Good color BTW. :tup:

Mr. Smith bought the shell, but then sold it to someone near NYC, never left my garage till it went down state. Motor I sold to some kid from Rochester or Syracuse. He was busting my balls about it then I got a last email from him “IT PULLS”. Hah. Never should’ve parted it out. Oh well next project soon.
