Actually, Kim had a Grand Cherokee. It's was pretty nice. Zero power, though. Her 2016 Escape EcoBoost kicks it's ass!!

They gained a lot of weight with the most recent (Circa 2011) redesign. A lot as in 1200-1800 lbs with zero powertrain updates. My Mom has a 2011 Overland (So fully loaded fat cow) with the biggest engine offered, 5.7 HEMI, and it struggles just lugging it's own bags of lard around. Her 2007 had a HEMI also, and it'd put bus lengths on this one.

The powertrain has been fairly reliable, had one pretty serious issue with the central control module, but that was fixed by recall after she dropped the car off for the 3rd time, and told them not to give it back until the module is replaced (They try something like 19 band-aid fixes before actually replacing the damn module).

The automatic air suspension system also fucked itself out of working, warranty took care of that. Memory mirrors/seats/radio stations are like dyslexic, they never go close to the set position after being moved. The front heated seats stopped working. I'm sure there's more, I just can't remember. It's a really nice and luxurious car, but without a warranty we'd have spent enough fixing it we could've gotten something reliable and able to go up hills.

Let's race! I'm sure my 17 year old Subaru 2.5RS can beat the Jeep too, but I have the R6 to go fast.


Oh, and I got the front windows tinted on Friday.

No doubt. I don't feel like I'm in a fishbowl anymore.

I was just trying to get the car acronyms going.

I drive a Fucked Over Rebuild Dodge, Flip Over Read Directions, Found On Road Dead, Found On Rumpke's Dump. We all know it really means First On Race Day, though!

Cheapest Heap Ever Valued Yet
