Weirdo. I kid I kid. Im not a car guy either. But midlife crisis is setting in. I mean that seriously, not just with the car stuff. I have an amazing wife that indulges me from time to time with my neurosis.

Just buy a 997 4.0 RS, talk about a good ROI. Value of those things are getting crazy.

She's probably getting a legacy. And he's getting me numbers on an Imprezza.

Dude, I might have to. They'll have a few in to try in early July.
Such a fun car. Especially if you are a manual guy, because they finally have 6 speeds in them which pleases me very much

I drive a 6 speed VW GLI right now. It's right up my alley.

Well that escalated quickly.
Nice Cookie! Gonna lift it when you do rims and tires? A 4" lift does wonders.
Unsure, this is my first Jeep so have some educating of myself that needs to be done.
Also have to make sure it fits into my home garage in addition to the parking garage at work which has a 6'4" clearance.
4" isn't much.
Looks tough when done!
Agreed, it's definitely what sets it apart from most. Wife was already online early this AM looking at configurations. I'm lucky to have her onboard with the plan!! Hahaha
Just remember what JEEP stands for:

that makes it okay, right? Hahaha
I questioned the bow tie color but once again it is clean and has a lot of class. Good for you. I am not a car guy but I admire this car because it looks tame but is really a beast inside.

2.5" is really all you need Cookie, you can fit 35's with a little bit of effort at that height, it will ride better and most likely perform better off road in most situations.

I know that feeling. We dropped $8,500 in a year keeping my wife's Commander on the road. Tipping point was the starter. Got it fixed and traded it on a new Equinox. Don't get me wrong, we loved everything about the Commander, except for the mechanics. Some of that we have to blame on the previous owner. We put a new motor in at 100,000 miles. Should have just fixed the problem cheap and got rid of it then. But liked the idea of a "new" car for cheap. Boy were we wrong and did it ever bite us.
I work for Honda here in Ohio and quite a lot of my coworkers own Pilots. Im yet to meet someone who owns a Pilot and doesnt absolutely love it.
Sounds like a typical Chrysler product to me. My wife currently has an '08 Ford Escape with about 160,000 miles on it and when her Escape dies, she really wants either a Honda CR-V or Pilot but she always wants a house, so having a $500+ a month car payment isnt something she really wants to do. I had proposed to her maybe looking at a Jeep Patriot or whatever they choose to call their small SUV because you can buy them used for pretty cheap and she likes that idea but in the back of my mind Im a bit anxious about how often it would need to be repaired. Shes hard on a car and isnt as diligent about maintenance and dealing with small problems before they become bigger problems, which makes me a bit anxious about her with a Jeep.
