KJ7RAB, KJ7RAB, W70H. W70H, KJ7RAB, how are you Dan? Doing good, I'm just here talking about the FJ Cruisers. My neighbor has one, I think Marilyn is now 82, and talking about playing FJ Cruiser, they have a rack in the back, really for the dogs to come up to get into the back. But, you know, like one of the hitch racks, the ramp pulls out. But, you may be thinking, they have a kind of unique one. When I say plane, I think it has manual crank windows. I know it's a manual transmission, which they really had to look for. They've never owned an automatic in their life. In fact, when they went to Italy 15 years ago, they went to pick up their rental car they preserved, and they said, we're told, oh we're sorry, we're out of cars, and they looked like the lot's full. Yes, but they're all manual transmission. They assumed Americans could not drive a manual transmission, and they've never owned one. And then, it even has plain old steel rims. So, it's the plainest FJ I've ever seen, but it's still running, it's a great car. That was all, hey have a good day up there, W70H. Damn, that is so cool. I love those old FJs. I aspire to have one one of these days. But, what I really, really want is an old International Scout, like a 60's Daven, I think. My grandfather drove one when I was a kid, two-tone red and white. But, the FJs are a lot of fun, and given your neighbor has one with the cranked windows, I'm going to say it's probably an old FJ40. Those are fantastic. I lose my mind every time I see one of those. And, I think they'll probably run forever. Thanks for coming back with that. I hope you have an amazing rest of your weekend, and we'll talk to you soon. KJ7 RAB, cleared on the side. Alright, and you made me think of something else. I've got a friend who has a Scout. I don't think I can get it away from him. It hasn't run in probably 15 years. The motor could be frozen, no reason to suspect that, but it's vintage. Gosh, I've known him for 40 years, and he had it when I met him. It's in his garage, and he's scared to take it out because there's stuff piled on it, and the garage might fall down if you take off the stuff that's piled in. But seriously, it'll be a great project car because it always ran fine. I'll talk to you later someday about it. I guess I'll find out if we can convince him if people came and removed it, he'd be happy. Anyway, have a great day up there, 73W70H.
