    That's what my mom had prior to her current FJ100.

    She rolled the FJ80 on a freeway, walked out with only a tiny bruise from
    the handbrake lever, and promptly bought the FJ100, then put some 33" Mud
    Terrains on it, just 'cuz. You go, mom!

    Once in a while, we trade vehicles. I must say, I enjoy it. I love blowing
    by the 4.6HSEs and other non-forced-induction vehicles up in the mountains.
    Sweet motor. Gobs of low-end, non-turbo power. Runs out of steam at about
    4500rpm, but that's ok, there's usually another gear available.
