This one's reasonably decked out... has an automatic and 4WD, both the Convenience Package (keyless entry, tinted glass, daytime running lights, heated mirrors, rear parking sensors, cruise control, rear window wiper) and Upgrade Package #1 (limited slip rear differential, stability/traction control, information display, 6-disc changer, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, aluminum wheels) plus a couple other random features (running boards, floor mats). As it turns out, most FJ's have roof racks installed at the dealership, and the roof rack makes the FJ too tall for my garage... so it actually took a bit of hunting around to find a well-configured FJ with no roof rack.
I'm looking forward to the FJ for a couple reasons... One, it will be far easier to haul around my musical gear in the FJ than the Acura TL. Second, having owned a Jeep in a previous life, I miss the ability to go off-roading. So I'm bound & determined to not be one of those yahoos that just drives their FJ to the mall on weekends!
Having had the FJ in the garage for all of 4-hours, the G.A.S. is already setting in... I was searching for FJ accessories on e-bay... everything from spare tire covers to (short) roof racks to subwoofers to fog lights to 1:18 scale FJ models for my desk at work. Well, at least it's not more guitar gear...

It was only a matter of time. You had the Acura for something like 3 years, so you were due. However, I could have sworn that your next vehicle was going to be a Saturn station wagon.
Mya... I think this is the longest I've held on to any car--I had the Acura for almost 4 years.
Believe me, though, when I started shopping the first place I went was the Saturn dealership. :p
