Aside from the kickass engine we have aren't they basically comparable to an MJ?

I saw an older (more boxy) red Ranger outside Princess Auto with 80s Jeep rims on it. Really threw me off.

I couldn't buy a Japanese/Korean car simply because of the terrible braking feel... They're so damn grabby.
Just not for me.
I don't care if they really are more reliable, I'd rather enjoy driving -- plus the "more reliable" card is one played by people who are afraid to learn they're distributor cap from their radiator cap.

Also, "I have a V8, you have a 6 cylinder!"
Best way to respond is by breaking it loose and grinning. ;P

I hate when people draw penises on my muddy hood. I don't mind scratches down the side, but I'd rather not have a dick with animated ejaculation scratched into my hood

I love the v8 comment! Had a guy with a 383 dodge giving me crap about my 6. I blew his doors off at a stop light. The last time he made fun of my "little" 6 cylinder!

Haha I thought I was the only one who's had this problem. Except for they always seem to go for the drivers door or a quarter panel....

And my day was going so well.
We were talking Jeep project plans for the holidays.
Then the co-op kid asks, "Why don't you just get the New Cherokee".
In the spirit of the season we let him drive home (in his ricer) to exercise freedom of choice and celebrate Christmas in his own way.
We will go our way, develop, fabricate, and build our Jeeps in the spirit of continuous improvement and a suspension and tires package that reaches to the stars and beyond. Then to validate our efforts; we will return with enthusiasm and with a taste for success and all the opportunities that a new year can promise, and crush his ricer as an appetizer..
