Dont disown me...

[rusty ol ranger]

But i made my first real forray into the world of modern vehicles yesterday...

2017 Grand Cherokee. 81k miles. 3.6L V6, All the fancy stuff i swore id never own, IRS and unibody.

So far im impressed. Got 23.5mpg cruising home yesterday. The 3.6 with the 8 speed is friggin quick. Its got all the terrain mode selections for the 4wd.

I ponied up extra for chrysler max care...cause i doubt id even be able to change the oil in this thing.

It was dark when i got home but ill take more pics later today.

it looks nice.

i have to have a truck so i cannot get suvs anymore. my bike doesn't fit in suvs. my wife wants sporty cars now that the kids are grown. she had suvs the whole time the kids had to ride with us so she wants something cool now (and she always had decent suvs, wranglers, cherokees, escapes, pt cruiser).

Im still keeping the ranger and 250. Thats why i didnt buy a pickup lol.

Just wanted a nice DD that got ok MPG and 4wd and could tow a few things.

Atleast its got a low range

We won't disown you.


But we're very, very disappointed in you.

Remember, I warned you about the tight shirts and Lattes.

Congrats on the new whip, welcome to the new millennium.

Eh. I seem to remember from a thread a few weeks ago that all his shirts are already tight.


It's probably what helped influence the purchase

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just kidding- that's a sharp ride. Nothing wrong at all with having and enjoying a nice newer vehicle. Congratulations!


But . . . . it would look more in character, with some rusted steel wheels on it and a spare tire tied on top.

At least it's not a Toyota, you'll still be allowed to wear men's clothing.

I'll bet he has a man purse... beard oil... skinny jeans and a north face jacket coming on the Amazon truck.

does it have butt warmers in the seats? Those are nice...

I always though they were stupid, until I used them when it was -20F outside.
When I would travel for work, if it was cold outside, I would pick through the rental cars to find one with the but warmers.

The back warmer, that's where it's at...
