Re: The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

Although the other day I was giving it a bit on an uphill country road and it imitated a normal auto all by itself, like it was going up through the gears, I hope I didn't break something.
I do like the shifter in the FJ, it's of the gated Toyota kind, but I especially like that I can change the knob very easily, anything with an M8 thread will fit

CVT's have spread like the plague in the last decade, mostly Japanese vehicles. A CVT would be a deal breaker for me, and even though most have programmed steps above a certain throttle percentage, I just hate how they feel and sound. I rented a CVT Corolla in New Zealand, which was driven around on the amazing mountain roads, it just screamed its head off all the time and despite a competent chassis, the CVT really sucked the life out the drive. The funny thing is, CVT gearboxes suit the vast majority of drivers on the road.
