The kids love it... there is way more visibility than in any other vehicle we have. Folks usually give us good feedback, of course some people want to know what the mileage is. My standard answer is "It's not about the gas mileage."
Shifting with the camera was tricky and fun. Camera in the left hand, shift and steer with the right hand...

Also you may all be familiar with the big amount of whine sound while under load, especially in the portions where the camera was up front...

I showed your FJ55 driving video to my wife, she said, 'Hmmm, sounds familiar.'
... and of course, she thinks I'm wacky too.

Come on sixtys guy, your turn, would be good to see from the 'right' side...

Agreed, I love these natural videos. The trick is getting good shots... I admit the handheld is pretty bad. But I avoided funny looks by not asking the wife to sit in the back seat and film something as mundane and seemingly pointless as driving

That's exactly what I was thinking as I watched the video.
Nothing like driving a Pig.Gotta dust mine off and get it on the road for the summer.
