Ive made a decision.
Saturday morning I got up early, got the woman and baby packed up in the FJ and drove to the dealership with a plan. I decided Saturday would be the end of this ether way. I would test drive the FR-S one more time. and if even ONE thing went wrong, I would drive the FJ home and drop this idea.
I showed up at the dealership and the salesman was waiting. For whatever reason he was a little overly interested in the FJ, (you'll find out later).
I got in the scion and the drive went as expected. But when I came back... the salesman already had a buyer lined up for the FJ and I heard him telling them "if you guys arent interested, the dealership will pick it up and mark it up 10%.
real slick. So I cant explain why but this pissed me off, a lot. I never mentioned trading in. not once.
After that came the baby seat test. I know this was not the intention but in a pinch i need to know my options. I was surprised to see that the passenger seat couldn't even sit upright with a rear facing baby seat.
So with the aggravation at the dealership and the baby seat issue i must admit defeat.. for now.
I said i would make up my mind Saturday and i have. I will not sell the FJ. I will wait until my little girl can at least sit in a forward facing seat and revisit this idea at that time. I would like to give the people of ft86club a heart felt thank you. I know this may seem trivial to some, but this was a difficult decision as far as material things go. at that, I leave (for now) with some parting shots of the FJ in past Rallys.
Thanks.
