Do you often go to the race track, or why do you need such a car?

In America, we buy what we want cause we can, he doesn't need a need. Just like with guns.

The 97 to 2006 Jeep Wranglers are very good vehicles for what the were designed to do.

If they were cars they would be one of the best lol;)

I have been in the automotive industry since 1980. I have sold parts and repaired cars for 26 years. Half of these posts are pure opinion another 1/4 are just plain wrong. Just about any late model car properly maintained will go 200k. If you drive your car into the ground never check the oil never change the oil etc it will die a quick death. Yes even your honda or toyota. As far as ride and handling are concerned its all a matter of personal preference. Things like mileage skid pad numbers acceleration braking etc can be recorded and compaired but mean little in day to day driving. If you treat your car like a piece of crap it will be.

  Anyone saying my car is better because its American,Japanese,German etc etc well thats just your opinion.


 






P.S. Everyone knows American cars are the best. Whens the last time you have seen a 20 year old honda,toyota,datsun,bmw etc etc on the road.

I do go to the racetrack a couple of times a year, but not with the car I just described. The one I described above is my daily-driver commuter car, the recreational car has almost $20,000 just in the drivetrain and suspension, and it does sub 12-second runs on street radials.

Nobody said I "needed" a car like that, it is about what I "want", and so far the Japanese automakers have nothing to offer, neither do the Germans, the Italians, the British or the Swedes. Don't get me wrong though, all of those foreign automakers have very nice and very high performance cars on the market, nicer and higher performance than my lowly 2005-GT. They just cost a fortune to buy and maintain, I simply cannot get the price/performance quotient even close to even with a foreign car.

Edit to add: The recreational car will be 40 years old in a few months, yes I know it's birthday
