Literally. 2011 Wrangler Unlimited.
Just got sick and tired of always working on my "DD" camaro. Seemed like it turned into more of a project. I threw a couple hundred dollars into it in an attempt to get it running, but there wasnt much life left in the motor. I traded it in before the motor blew and I had a bigger problem on my hands. I just wanted a nice Daily Driver that had a warranty, so if a freakin blinker goes out, I wont even have to work on it. Dont get me wrong, I like working on cars and jeeps and have no problem working on my XJ, but it just got old not being able to trust my camaro to get me too and from work and always spending my every free day fixing it so I said fuck it and went and got something new.
Figured I wanted another Jeep, buy american, and something that would last. I looked at an 11' Grand Cherokee. I drove one around for a day and really liked it, but the way I wanted it optioned out, it would have been 35+ K and I could NEVER see myself modifiying it or taking it offroad. I like the whole offroad wheeling thing, and would someday like to lift and wheel the JK, but just not till its paid off. For now it will just be a DD. Its nice to have a vehicle that has a working A/C, radio, heat, power doors and locks, and all kinds of wistles or bells that Ive never been able to experience in other vehicles I owned.
I got a decent deal on it, paid over 2k below sticker, and its all optioned out. Premium sound, 3.73s and limited slip, sirus satelite radio, power doors and windows, soft top, all kinds of cool other stuff.
Drives pretty good, actually rides smoother than my camaro did. Gets decent gas mileage, ive been averaging about 20 or so.
Im trying to move up to Anchorage Alaska this winter and will need a 4wd. Ill make the 5,000 mile drive there from Virginia during the winter time and some of the roads in Canada are unpaved so it will be nice to have a dependable 4wd to make the trip.
