Nice jeep, looks like the one my friend has except his is a maroon color, it's a very nice ride too, personally I think the style is too "modern " but I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying it!!
Remember the rant I went on a few weeks ago? I don't screw around and I hold a grudge. **** them. It's gone and they can kiss my ***, hope they'll remember it someday.
See above.
I'll probably get something else like it at some point, but at the present time, screw everybody. I've got enough problems of my own and nobody really cares so **** them, I've tried my best to do for everyone else and they don't care so **** them.
I really wanted to get one. You know me, I bleed Ford blue. I desperately wanted to get a new Explorer, I wanted to love it. But I just couldn't as much as I tried. I drove several of them, all different trims. The Sport was great the way it ran, but it was just the same as all of them, bland overall. The performance was the only thing good about it and I wanted to love it, but everything else besides the performance was not great.
It was not comfortable at all, the seats were cramped, it felt confining and it was like sitting in a tomb. Not to mention how cheap it felt inside, I was shocked. Pushed a button to fold down the rear seats and the whole rear panel flexed in and out. I wanted to love it, but I actually hated it after a few miles, it felt cheap for a $50K car. The switchgear, interior, materials, fit and finish, etc. were way below par, and I'm a Ford man, I hate to admit it. For $35K it would have been great.
Not to mention the fact that its a front wheel drive car, I noticed the torque steer instantly and I didn't like the way it drove. I'm not saying its a bad car, I'd buy one, but not for the price they ask for it.
After many test drives I decided on something else that felt much better and suited my needs. The Explorer is basically useless for anything other than riding on the highway, it feels like a station wagon, like you're in a Taurus. Measured the ground clearance at the front and it was just over 6 inches at the lowest point of the front air dam. I'd tear that off in one day when I go to the woods. Its not a SUV any more, its a front wheel drive with a little rear drive when the road is slippery.
So I ended up with this. Grand Cherokee Overland, loaded up with every luxury you can get, along with the Offroad Adventure package (full underbody skid plates over the front suspension, trans, transfer case, gas tank and diff, 6+inches of lift for off road duty) and technology package. True rear drive, true 4 wd with transfer case and locking diffs, adjustable suspension, leather everything inside, door panels, console, shifter, dash, steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats, real wood trim, panoramic roof all the way to the rear seats, heated rear seats, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitors, lane departure, front and rear cameras, adaptive HID lights (up,down,around curves), auto dimming lights, rain sensing wipers, memory driving positions with key fob (seat, mirrors, tilt/tele wheel,audio, climate, radio) heated steering wheel, adjustable suspension, panoramic moonroof, LED front and rear lights, too much stuff to list really.
Don't get me wrong, I REALLY wanted to love the Explorer Sport, I REALLY tried but I just couldn't love it. It was just too cheap feeling and not comfortable. I was shocked at how cheap the interior felt compared to the Jeep, and I went into this with a Ford bias and wanting to love the Explorer since I've been driving Explorers for over 20 years, and still have 2 of them now. This Jeep I bought is literally the quietest, smoothest, most luxurious vehicle I've ever driven and its is more capable off road than any of the others off road than any other on the market. Impressive to me.
Still gotta get the rest of the windows tinted and clear bra put on.

I'll get some better interior pics when I get it cleaned up, they don't do justice as to how nice it is in there. At least I've got something I can actually drive now. Don't care if it rains or if I want to take it anywhere and not be nervous like I was with the Shelby. Had it 4 years and only put 8K miles on it.
See above.

as reported several months ago my company is going out of business .. we still are going out of business ..they tell us every two weeks that they will no more soon .. they are pleading with us few remaining employees not to quit .. they are still waving the possibility of us being sold in front of us .. people are quitting every week .. we cant get replacement employees by telling them we are closing ..even if we are bought out we wont be able to conduct any reasonable amount of business for the foreseeable future ..
