Perhaps for the next obnoxious tailgater, a quick release to the roof rack. Oops, did I drop my axe? Really, I guess I should just get over it. (I'd go thru too many good axes)

Peep, don't feel bad. I get the same treatment. But I zoom past them and make the FLS! I'm so tired of ppl bashing jeeps. I know exactly how that is. It's a general thing. Just remember, we own the snow and off road!

Overly loud vehicles are obnoxious... theres a reason (and a good one) they are ticketed.

Trust me, there is no good reason to being harrased by a cop (aka DB with a gun and badge) for a loud exaust.. Im not a huge fan of loud exhausts myself but if harley's are gonna be as obnoxiously loud as they are I am not about to say it is OK to hold a double standard for cars and motorcycles.. Harley Davidson, Both awesome and anoying since 1903

After we went offroading yesterday I busted two u-joints.
He said "My toyota doesn't brake u-joints"
"His Toyota sits 4 inches off the ground and bottoms out on every bump in the road."

I told him we went offroading and it causes them to brake sometimes... He still argued that Toyota is better being he doesn't brake u-joints!!!
He said street racing is harder on a vehicle then crawling up rock walls, going through mud pits, and hitting trees in offroad trails....

A guy asked me at work "What model International is that???" I asked him "ARE YOU FREAKIN' SERIOUS!!!!!!" Then walked away.

Mines not obnoxiously loud at all, unless its idling next to the front door of the house. Never had a problem with cops anyone that does inspections on it.

yotas have no power so they dont break anything. Put an engine with any sort of power in them and they blow diffs like crazy

When calling a parts store,"Is it the v6 or v8?" (referring to the gran cherokee when I drive an XJ)
