The FJ has a cabin air filter. Did I mention I could put my arms down? Them thar Japanese must be some big buggers on accounta the Jeep... hmmm... maybe they are sellin the Jeep in Japan and the FJ over here to fellahs with a decent sized chest?

Hehehe... even the Jeep salesman was a dweeb.... I pointed out that the rear tow hook was welded in place so that it would have to be cut off to install a trailer tow package. He said that the hook was for hauling it out. I was in disbelief! I said, "It's a Jeep! You are not supposed to have to haul it out! It's supposed to go anywhere. Don't you mean that tow hook is for hauling FJ's out?" He laughed and said, "That's a good one. I must remember that."

WTF???

Yesterday, at the service garage getting a rotation and alignment... two Pontiac Montana SV6's on hoists side by each.... 2007's... one was having it's third set of discs, the other it's second. They are such crap that they must be replaced, not milled. And, one needed bearings. Sorry... no bearings available. What is wrong with the Yanks? Is it because they own so much of the Asian industry after WW2?... and are "giving it" to their fellows? Seriously.... I find all this rather odd and not very comfortable.
