Lego or Tonka Truck?



Because most of my time is spent on the open road, my co-workers and I have a lot of time to just sit and chat. Most of our conversations revolve around all the cars that we drive by. Most of the comments sound somewhat like this.. "WOW! Did you see that Hummer!" or "Gosh, I wish I had that Range Rover!", but coincidentally in the past two weeks, two different co-workers have commented on the flashy FJ Cruiser. One co-worker pointed and yelled, "I hate those cars! They look like LEGOS!" I kept my mouth shut and quietly chuckled to myself because MY OWN father drives a FJ Cruiser. However the following week, a completely different employee not knowing of the conservation prior, pointed to yet another FJ Cruiser and said "Those cars bother me! They look like Tonka Trucks!" Yet again, I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn't make my co-worker feel uncomfortable, but it really got me thinking. How many people actually feel that way about the flashy FJ Cruiser? I personally think the Cruiser is eye catching and quite trendy. So what do you think about the infamous FJ Cruiser?

Most guys love it, most women do not. Give it a chance. Let it grow on you.
