Re: V-6 in '08 Wrangler???
 
Jeep Stuff:

I agree. I own 3 TJs and a 08 JK. I really enjoy the JK, on and off road,
better than the others. It's my plan is to make this the last Jeep I own,
so I dig the Lifetime warranty. I believe we'll see more folks who
*actually own* or have owned legacy Jeeps and a JK report in the same
consensus.

Other Stuff:

I've been away from this group for a while, but it seems that there are a
few crusty individuals that seem to say "if I'm not doing it, it ain't
right." Pink Freud *seems* to be a crazy dude, but I'm starting to think he
may have some valid points buried in his posts. And is there anyone else
here that finds it interesting (and maybe as equally neurotic) that Bill
feels a need to constantly respond to him?!?

Right on !!! Maybe sometime in the next millenium some of the diehards on
this board will come to their senses and realize that the World doesn't
stand still. Progress has been made. Don't condemn it without trying it !!

Re: V-6 in '08 Wrangler???
 
I don't want to waist too much time on this, but I want to further comment.

Because of Bill's need to constantly respond to Pink Freud, BILL is spamming
this newsgroup. How many messages has he posted that say something "This
from the biggest spammer of them all!"??? Anybody see the irony? How many
off topic messages have BILL posted and PERPETUATED? I'm thinking that
everyone who's been monitoring this newsgroup for a while has gotten used to
this craziness, but as someone that recently returned, I find it ridicules.
Anybody else tired of sorting through the mess laid out by these two to get
to real Jeep topics?

This WILL be the last spam message I post about this. I'll just simply
refuse to play.

Have a nice day.

-Fred
