Re: Jeep VS others
Right!
To CRWL out again is the real measure of a 4x4.
This is my second Jeep. And unfortunately, at times, I've turned into
more of a street Jeep. I've removed the underbody armor for a weight
reduction and don't take my sleeper speedy Jeep offroad too much any
more.
I miss those days. Maybe I just need to get a CJ and spend some
quality time doing the other thing Jeeps are good at.

Re: Jeep VS others
Yup, I got absolutely killed by a modified M3. I had about an 1/8 mile
headstart around a hairpin turn and lost so bad I still can't believe it.
The most amazing aspect of that automobile is despite the fact the road was
terrible, at like 80mph he had no problem staying completely on the inside
lane. Simply an amazing automobile and definitely my dream car. And ya
....the M5 has alot more *****. Saw the first one in my city today, actually.
Wow!

headstart around a hairpin turn and lost so bad I still can't believe it.
The most amazing aspect of that automobile is despite the fact the road was
terrible, at like 80mph he had no problem staying completely on the inside
lane. Simply an amazing automobile and definitely my dream car. And ya
....the M5 has alot more *****. Saw the first one in my city today, actually.

Re: Jeep VS others
Yup, I got absolutely killed by a modified M3. I had about an 1/8 mile
headstart around a hairpin turn and lost so bad I still can't believe it.
The most amazing aspect of that automobile is despite the fact the road was
terrible, at like 80mph he had no problem staying completely on the inside
lane. Simply an amazing automobile and definitely my dream car. And ya
