        No way…I don’t even have a drivers license anymore (too many years in LA), these days all I drive is a bicycle. I’m probably the only dude to show up using public transportation, lol.

          Damn. Maybe one day I suppose. Well, the key thing is that you have a good time, regardless of how you get there!

          I always love the look of older cars, but my brain says “safety safety safety” and my wallet says “empty empty empty”. So I get my kicks through Forza Horizon lol.

            Going for good friends & good time. The supercars really don’t do anything for me. Back when i drove I was all about off roading in my FJ cruiser with friends…those were also really good times.

              My dad used to have an FJ! Those are fun. I always thought the windshield was so funky to look out of. It felt really unique compared to other vehicles I have been in. Only thing that wasn’t fun was the back seat wasn’t super comfy for extra long road trips haha

                Yeah well same with the driver & passenger seats. Once you drove one, everything else seems cramped…super spacious on the inside.

                Back in the day of forums, the two main FJ groups were hilarious and silly (there were some really serious people, but they soon accepted the fart jokes). We on e did the math and figured out how many bags of milk you could put in the interior.

                …it was a hoot, a HOOT!

                oh man I sound old…

                  Yeah, it was incredibly roomy inside! Such a unique vehicle. My dad also had an old sunrunner at one point and that thing was ridiculous. It could zip around like crazy, but it was so light. If you passed a semi on the highway, it felt like you were about to blow over.

                  Naww you don’t sound old, that sounds awesome! That’s the best part of the internet. Unique sub sections of hobbies that are just silly fun. Some of my fondest memories are from forum posts and MMO chats and stuff!
