  • NCD - New Car Day!!!



    Yay!!! My first new car in 11 years. I figure I've saved enough of the environment with my Honda Civic after 11 years. Now time to stomp some dandelions and club some baby seals!

    Anyway - my hunt for this vehicle has dominated the last three weeks of my life and I've barely touched the guitar.

    Notice - white. So it matches:







    Next up - I drive it out to Colorado so Mike Learn can work his magic and match it up to:

    So, how much off-roading do you do in NYC, dude?

      It's all off-road! On the side-walks, over the pedestrians, through the plains of pedal-cabs! 4-Low is especially good for beatnik crawling...

          The pedestrians walk on the road in NYC anyway, don't they... They're basically asking for it.

          And congrats on the new car. My last new car was a Toyota Aygo for the wife. Not very exciting. But at least it meant that I got my Avensis back.

              LOL!

              Nice. Is it a NewNew car or a NewUsed car?

              I'm out of the loop on this model and don't know if it's a new or old one.

                Especially the tourists from the EU! Oh you guys and your funny non-US car name - Aygo and Avensis! Good stuff!

                Only when my foot's stomping on it!

                No - these were not part of the recall. Also, as the kids would say, this one's MIJ so its better than the domestic built stuff!

                New - new! 30 miles on the Odo when I took it. The FJ Cruiser's been out since 2006. This is the 2010 model.

                  Congrats, nice one! I was looking at these on Saturday. We got a new Sienna on Saturday since some douche ran into the back of my wife totaling her Sienna. He was on the cell phone!

                    Congrats on the car. I think those are incredibly ugly, but whatever

                        Haha, yeah. You're right, cars are supposed to have names like Mustang, Challenger, and Canyonero..?

                            Nice! Glad to see another FJ owner in NYC! Mine's black with a white top and got it in june 2006. Can't believe it's already 4 yrs old. I'd imagine they got more options over the past 4 yrs. Did u get the parking assist thingy w it?

                              Yeah - parking assist and rear-view camera. The parking assist is cool - but it goes all Defcon 5 when you still have a good foot and a half behind you, so the camera kind of makes up for that since you can see how much room you've got left. The camera viewer is integrated into the rearview mirror and comes on where you're in reverse.
