Oops
I made a big boo-boo.
Last night the wifey and I were talking Jeeps, and I mentioned in passing that the 07 Wrangler would be a redesign, with a 4-door version, with seating for five. She seemed mildly interested. So today I showed her the pics of it in the latest Four Wheeler; she loved it. Now I might have to sell my TJ, because she doesn't want to get rid of her TJL. :-( I have to think long and hard about Yes Dear-ing this one. I bought some time when I made the "you shouldn't buy a new design the first couple of model years because of the bugs" speech. If I have to sell the TJ, I will insist on a manual trans in the JK. OK, not insist....more like beg. -- --- Matt Macchiarolo mlmacchiarolo at comcast dot net AIM screen name RTI1182 "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty."

Re: Oops
Ok, Matt...you are FAR more reasonable than this...it's not a
husband/wife-boss/servant thing. The TJL would have to be the one to go in trade on the 4dr. Leave the SWB TJ at the crib.

Re: Oops
Actually teh TJ is slated to be handed down to the oldest when he gets his
DL, though he doesn't know it yet. So it will probably stay in the family. If we have to get rid of something, it'll probably be the Superduty, we don't use it much anymore since we added the Excursion to the fleet: http://wolverine4wd.org/rigs/macchiarolo_ml.html "twaldron" <thomasOBVIOUS@rubicons.com> wrote in message news:enz4g.9989$Lm5.8909@newssvr12.news.prodigy.co m... > Ok, Matt...you are FAR more reasonable than this...it's not a > husband/wife-boss/servant thing.
