I call bullshit. It's not even available in four wheel drive and you're telling me it crossed the Rubicon trail?

what are you smoking Blind_Io? or is it just a characteristic of your namesake?
seems that not only can I build a 4x4 version of the Patriot, i can select the trail rated off-road package as well, plain as day on their site.

No. In fact I'm sick of hearing GM commercials playing John Mellencamp "I'm a little redneck and proud of it" crap.

Jeep just took it to a whole new level, and it's exactly why I'll make it a point NOT to buy anything from them.

No Colors, but you can take make a necklace or ring or whatever you want out of anything from an engine. I'm thinking of making a ring from main bearings from an RC car, or a "crucifix" out of it's connecting rod images/smilies/smile.gif

Sounds like you just got yourself a job. Pay is jack shit, and it's long hours, with no days off.

We should add an ending to our story's sixth day. Much like "So he invented Volkswagen, which invented the Golf GTI and the 5.0 V10 Diesel engine" or something.
