Spoted FJ cruiser(Studio City/North Hollywood CA.)

[Biff]

Was driving down the street and spotted this peculiar looking rig, with black covering all over, looked it over and at first I thought it was a jeep, then saw the rear tire carrier and it clicked it was the FJ cruiser. Wish I had a digi camera, I'll probably see it again and next time I'll have a camera.

On a second note, I'm note sure why this area(studio city/north hollywood ca.) is a big testing ground for beta vehicles. Ive spotted other vehicles being tested around here as well.

A standard test for new vehicles is a high and low speed run through Death Valley, so maybe you are catching them either going to or coming from there?

Man, you should have 'taken one for the team'...and just rammed it...just a good fender bender, but something enough that it needs a towtruck...you can throughly inspect it then...look for damage, rip all that silly black stuff off.. I wonder with vehicles like that if the driver's are kinda leary about people hitting them just to get the inside track, spy pictures, etc. It'd be a rather silly way to get spy pictures, but someone would probably do it.

Course then there would be a press release "Due to the actions of a deranged Land Cruiser fanatic, the testing of the FJ Cruiser has been delayed and the for-sale date will have to be pushed back"

Give Biff a break, he fawked up one front bumper at Surf & Turf and doesn't want to do it again.

Hey Biff - when you going to pay up on the hush money regarding you REALLY wanting a new front bumper anyway? hehehe
