So I was home early on Friday and my dad answers the door & says its for me. Some guy I don’t recognize is checking out the FJ40 ‘Cruiser. Wonder what he wants? I go out to meet him. Turns out the car wranglers are looking at it for Lost again. They wanted to make sure it was still around, they weren’t certain if they’ll need it. Should find out sometime this week. Derek came over Sunday afternoon and after some monkeying with battery, jumper cables, and squirreling the gas from original FX into the FJ, it groaned back to life. The last time it was run was when Lost rented it before, wow, I neglected the poor thing! But after a bit of complaining and sputtering and letting the gas flow to clean out the carb, she was running again.
And for the found part, sent off a check to Allen in Vegas for his two Corollas. Allen is actually who gave me the first FX for ‘free’. Gonna have to get rid of some stuff, but it’ll be nice to have own car. The original FX has been pretty well stripped of donor organs and is about ready for the trip to the great yard in the sky.
