Being Flagged Down ???
- Thread starter ferrari1898
- Start date
I have been approached by people walking on 3 different occasions when stoppeed at intersections last month asking me about it. I also had 2 occasions where people stopped my in parking lots in early June - One asking what kind of car this was and the other asking if this was the new LC.
Three or four times now, always someone who is a longtime owner of a 100 or 200.
At least once a week! It’s almost like being a celebrity!
All the time. I'm always just as happy to show it to them. I know if the roles were reversed I would love to check it out.
In Charlotte too, I get flagged down when I drive my FJ43 around. Also have an 80 but that is more common. Where did you find a new one? Every place I have looked adds a bunch of options to inflate the price.

What color is your FJ43? Curious if I’ve seen it around. (I have an FJ62 I’ve had since ‘97 but haven’t driven it in almost a decade.)
That's the Landcruiser way. I believe that's why we all buy LC's instead of other brands that are only for show (RR, Benz, BMW, etc.).
The first thing I do when I buy a new vehicle is go buy license plates. I also like buying the same color over and over again.
I've had my 58 for 2 weeks, and already had two people stop me so far. Today I beeped and waived at a GX550. I have not seen another 250 out in the wild yet. I'm in Niagara region.
Where I live in western Washington (the state), I’ve seen one to date and that was a few weeks ago. Also saw one GX550 but that doesn’t count. I get mine this week and I’m sure it will attract some attention. We’ll see if it’s good attention or bad 
Same here. Just today I walked out of the store to find two guys standing in the parking lot admiring my 1958. And I’ve also heard a “nice truck!” or two when cruising with the windows down.
This is it, mustard yellow and white top. I had for 3-4 years. Had my 80 for about 10
Finally found a reasonable dealer in Charlotte, Town and Country Toyota, and this little one followed me home to see its great great great grand grandfather

Nice! Town & Country had one allocated to them that I was wanting and I had it switched over to Hendrick Toyota up in Concord (we’ve used them for years). Brought it home to see its granddaddy too!

I see people staring at it in parking lots all the time. I had a F150 driver walk over asking me what it was. I had a 4Runner driver wave at me going past each other. When I had a real jeep in 1999 I rarely ever got a jeep wave. I get more waves living in the country side no matter what I drive than anywhere else
