Doctor Destiny 41 Posted May 16, 2008 theres a point, im sure its fine in a straight line but how is it around corners? Like any other SUV... don't take it too fast. How much do those beasts weigh? They're not aftermarket. These wheels come standard on the trim line I have. congrats anyway, its a pretty mean looking ride It is quite mean. The sound system is epic. Share this post Link to post
Julbri 0 Posted May 17, 2008 It is quite mean. The sound system is epic. What have you got in there in the way of Sounds? What sort of engive has it got? Straight 6? How many litres? wait you would measure it in gallons Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted May 17, 2008 It has a 10 speaker Infinity Gold sound system. It sounds pretty good. And it has a 4.0L inline (straight) six. We measure fuel tanks in gallons, and engine sizes in liters. Share this post Link to post
Julbri 0 Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) thats good i was going to start looking for a converter on the net, we use liters for basically everything down here our ford territory has the same size engine, as for the "stop killing the environment" Luk3us what of car do you drive? it would sound pretty good id say How much did the whole thing set you back?

Mina Synd 0 Posted May 17, 2008 if it were new it would be a heck of a lot more then that XD probably upwards of 10k... maybe higher then 20k o.o; maybe even higher cos we're working in dollars not pounds *thinking back for recent car prices for similar models* hmmph... personally i think i'd avoid SUV's... too unnecessarily big, eat up fuel too easily and they overall aren't very practical unless you live in the mountains o.O boys and their toys xD Share this post Link to post
Julbri 0 Posted May 17, 2008 our SUV was 45k $nzd so about 20k in pounds, very practical on farms like ours, can never be too big Share this post Link to post

That's a first generation Grand Cherokee. if it were new it would be a heck of a lot more then that XD probably upwards of 10k... maybe higher then 20k o.o; maybe even higher cos we're working in dollars not pounds *thinking back for recent car prices for similar models* hmmph... personally i think i'd avoid SUV's... too unnecessarily big, eat up fuel too easily and they overall aren't very practical unless you live in the mountains o.O boys and their toys xD A new Jeep with similar features is going to run somewhere around $40,000. >_>; Psh, SUVs and pickups are the only vehicles worth owning. our SUV was 45k $nzd so about 20k in pounds, very practical on farms like ours, can never be too big An SUV can be too big.

Doctor Destiny 41 Posted May 20, 2008 People need to buy more Fords and Dodges. Jeep is owned by the same parent company that owns Dodge. So in essence, I did. Share this post Link to post

Dr. Rodney McKay 0 Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) I know DD. Buying a Jeep isn't as good as buying a Dodge, but they're still awesome. It's hard to beat a good Jeep when it comes to utility. Edited May 21, 2008 by Dr. Rodney McKay Share this post Link to post

Doctor Destiny 41 Posted May 21, 2008 I know DD. Buying a Jeep isn't as good as buying a Dodge, but they're still awesome. It's hard to beat a good Jeep when it comes to utility. I used to own a Dodge minivan. Damn thing was a tank, just like this Jeep. It rocked. I want it back. Share this post Link to post
Dr. Rodney McKay 0 Posted May 21, 2008 I want a Challenger, but I want to start small first. And I've got a guy with junkyard contacts, so I can get a fully running car for $200.00. Would you recommend this for the beginning driver? Amazingly enough, I still don't have my license. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted May 21, 2008 I'd aim for something like a Stratus. They're not bad little cars. They'll run forever if you don't trash the mechanics. For the love of all things good and holy, avoid the Neon. They are the absolute worst thing you can buy. Share this post Link to post
