My 40 is sitting and patiently waiting for both new shift lever boots to arrive so I can install them. In the mean time, I wanted to add a little Toyota goodness to my office.

Like most things I've done, I just can not leave well-enough alone. However, For Summer, I like this look better.

Looks crackin'!
That is EXACTLY what my winter look will be like here. =)
(well, except my rollbar is different, and I might get tube doors... you get the idea)

At any rate NICE

Where - The transaction took place in a desolate, dark alley off Peachtree in the seedy part of Downtown Atlanta, GA....
When - Thursday, four weeks ago at about 3:18AM after the rats & stray cats had gone to sleep, and yesterday's foul air had lifted....
Why - Because my FJ40 lost it's floor mat some time ago and I figured I'd get it another, why not....
How - I was dressed in black 5.11 tactical gear, pack'n my Ruger P89 in a shoulder holster loaded with golden sabers and a Kershaw on the side. The perpetrator was dressed to the NINES! Nine dollar polyester pants, a nine dollar pique-point button down, a nine dollar Naugahyde patch blazer, a nine dollar fuchsia colored fedora tipped to the front covering one eye and finished with nine dollar patent leather military style shoes from Goodwill. We greeted with a nod of the head, a firm handshake and a smile. No words were spoken, with a steady & assured motion, I traded a nondescript black leather briefcase full of cash as the perp handed over the 58511-90270. I gave a polite "Thank You", thus the deal was done! I slowly backed away and eased into my truck. Cutting an eye at the dealer to watch their every move, I threw it in reverse and backed out. And with a final smile and wave, we both acknowledged our approval of what just went down.......Yeah, well it could have happened like that!
I have an OEM one as well but it does NOT look that nice, so cool!!!!!!

Being the weather has decided to play nice around the North GA mountains for a while, I've been puttering around the back roads. It will be my DD this week...Here it is soaking in the morning sun outside my office.
Oh, installed some more OEM goodness this weekend.

With my son turning 16 in a few months, any additional project vehicle 'want' is on the back burner for now.....
However, I'm trying to decide if I should give him my 2010 Tacoma and buy me another "something".....

I didnt appreciate my first vehicle that was given to me until I blew the engine and had to put some sweat equity into it. 80 series seem to be cheap and a quick/easy fixer upper might help the new driver to appreciate what he is given.
