the new JEEP. He looked at my JEEP and told me I wouldnt like it. Said I
would like the GC with ind suspension. Told him That I wouldnt and went
home.

I went to the dealer to BUY a brand new YJ. I spent 1/2 hour waiting for the
salesman BS with some guy who plainly said "I wish they came out with this
last month before I bought my Ford".

I went to another dealer.

The best one I heard was when my brother tried to buy a Honda motorcycle
from the local arrogant Honda dealer. They wouldn't sell him what he wanted,
so he went to another dealer.

He took the brand new bike back to the first place for the state inspection.

Eh, even with a smaller build the Commander's just butt-ugly; inside and
out.

I returned the 4.7 and tried the 3.7; it just doesn't have enough power. It
hunts through gears too much. I'd envision getting worse mileage from
having to kick it down all the time. So now it's a debate between the 4.7
and hemi. Actually looks like I can get a better deal on the hemi, with a
few less options, than a 4.7.

That 'hemi' is down right scary. They are using the tried and failed GM
system I read 'but' they say 'they' have better mathematicians than GM
had so it won't be an abortion like the Caddy engines were. Sure it
wont......
