It's amazing how fast an aircraft carrier is.


Look at the wake at the 50 second mark.

You should ride one...quite a trip. Sometimes they have tiger cruises for friends and family.

Unofficially 35 knots top speed, but the real top speed is considered a state secret.

Wanna hear something funny? I washed mine on Sunday morning.

You gonna put the lights on the bottom of it? They might get torn off...

Have you figured out about this weekend yet?

yeah, im looking. pretty sure my brother is going to get one. he called me today and saying he was thinking of buying another rental property, and he has had to borrow a truck a lot, so if he does he's going to get his own work vehicle which could double as offroad vehicle. so he's thinking about getting an XJ or an MJ.

I want a 5 speed XJ. I would love to convert the blue XJ to manual.
