Re: Jeep owner test drives FX35, what was that noise?
After reading all the replies, I have to chime in. I like the FX35 (well,
how it looks anyway!). It isn't a Jeep, but neither is a Corvette or a
Porche or a Kia. They each fill a specific need (performance, vanity,
economy). With all the traveling I did over the last 18 months, I'd have
much rather been in an FX35. Around twn and on the weekends, though, I love
my TJ. If I could have both, I would.
Alas, the TJ wins. Costs a heck of a lot less and I don't worry if I spill
something in it or my son makes an absolute mess (as 2 year olds do). The
only thing I have to worry about is whatever hits me -- I'm sure they'll
have more damage than me!
A friend of mine and I called it the "captain car" whenever we saw one.
Since we'd have to be making Capt pay to afford it! ;-)
Really, guys, he likes his new car. Might not belong in this group, but he
likes it nonetheless. What's the point in beating it/him up?

Re: Jeep owner test drives FX35, what was that noise?
If we need to tote a bunch of stuff around we take the XJ. I don't think
we've ever ran out of space (although I'd like a roof rack sometimes...).
For the 'large' items, I break out the 4'x6' trailer.
Besides, Jeep was one of Trevor's first words. And he INSISTS on taking
"Daddy's Jeep" everywhere we go.
