When you're talking with a group of Mustang owners and you realize you have the biggest **** there
Just Kidding! Haha

When you're talking with a group of Mustang owners about how their tires don't hook up with the ground until 3rd gear. And you bring up the fact that your clutch slips so much you don't hook up with half your drivetrain until 3rd gear.

When you can pick out a set of [stock] 3rd gen 4Runner headlights in your rear-view mirror from at least 100 yards out!

...when you pull up to a 2011 Trail Teams FJ at a stop light and the driver rolls down the window and asks you if you'd sell it.

When you wonder how Toyota could build everything else right, and screw the cup holders up so badly. 98 and lower.

Hey, I've actually spent some time designing cupholders and it takes a lot of skill to create a holder that not only doesn't really hold your cup all that well, but also blocks out all the radio and HVAC controls and STILL manages to be directly in the path your hand takes from the shifter to the wheel.

VW almost got it in the 4th gen Jettas, but the runners definitely kept the other OEMs on their toes.

...when you have to decide whether you want to carry a drink OR know what time it is.

Whenever a grown man is excited about a sewing machine, you know it's 4Runner related.
