I know I do not have much credibility on this site but I am going to do an actual product review about my Jeep. I will not deny that I have some issues to deal with and I do not live with the delusion that I am OK.
I bought a new 2002 Jeep on December 11th 2002. Actually I leased it for 48 months because of my situation I am in it would not have been prudent to buy it. I decided to buy it with out even test driving it because I need to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle and it was the best deal I could find. It cost me a few hundred dollars down and $211 per month including all the taxes for a car that stickered at $17,155. It is the stripped down 2.5 liter inline 4 engine with a 5 speed tranny. I did get a CD player, Customer preferred package 23n and the full metal doors. (Anybody that buys a Jeep and doesn't get the full metal doors is an idiot, ask some tall shaved head amadon in Myrtle Beach driving around in a punk ass purple Sahara about it if you see him. If you do see him driving he most likely is driving to the Jeep Dealership to get his zippers replaced on his plastic ass canvas doors when they get all scratched up all the time. The person in question just had to have his Jeep real fast and was to impatient to recapture lost youth to wait a week to get solid metal doors and now regrets it. Now I can bad mouth the said Jeep owner since he mailed out my Christmas presents finally)
So all of you must be saying that I am a real dickhead for writing a review on a car that I have had for 2 months. Under usual circumstances I would agree, but in my case I have put 8,700 miles on it already, but for a good reason. See my friend Gay Ray, who was my student at work for a while, found a hot babe working at a gas station who has lots of tattoos and some whacked piercings. He married her. And it occurred to me that maybe I too could get a hot babe at a filling station. So I went around to all the gas stations looking for hot babes working there. A
nd I found one. She has tattoos all over and around her wrist she has these stars and moons and I asked her if she was turkish because that is their symbol but she wasn't. She is so hot, just perfect. I don't know why I am into women like that but I am. So anyways you need a pretense to go to the filling station 4 times per day. The guy I live with finally said something to me when I filled the fridge entirely full of 6 packs of Budweiser and twelve packs of pepsi. He said, "Cammie, we really would like to be able to put some food in our refridgerator", so I would just go there to buy cigarettes but then I would end up subcoonciously chain smoking so I could go back. Just the other day I smoked 6 packs of cigarettes while playing Civ 3 22 hours straight. (not that the time was completely wasted, I also had Kazaa running and got my number up from 40 to 86). But I still haven't recovered from all those ciggies and now unless I am chain smoking I fall asleep. It is awful. So it occurred to me to actually buy gas, petrol or benzine whatever you people call it. But to buy gasoline you are limited in the quantity you can purchase, much liek Kwik Karls fridge that can only hold so much beer this car can only hold 18 imperial gallons. so in order to not look like a jerk, as buying $3 worth of gas a day would make me look like a chump and be detrimental to scoring with this babe, I mean what kind of girl with any standards would drop the knickers for a bloke who can only afford to put $3 worth of gas in his car at a time? So I have to use up all my gas so I can buy more (I guess this probaly isn't very funny to all the boys in the territorials who are being mobilised to fight for oil in Iraq again, but its there own damn fault their families couldn't pay for them to go to a uni and they had to go into the army.) So I basically wake up and drive for hours all over the state and I leave my car run all night. Maybe I am screwing myself, maybe she t
hinks that I couldn't be a good boyfriend because I would be gone so much since I obviously travel all the time. I can't help it. I need to see her all the time.
So what have I discovered about my Jeep so far? Well I hate it. It is the nosiest damn car on earth, so much road noise. The heater works good, you'd think the effing thing would be cold but it gets warm fast. The 2.5 liter is way underpowered, I can't speed or race people well (the last contest I ever won was the Pepsi challenge at the fair when I was 14). With an anemic engine it is still horribley inefficient on gas (which is good now as I want to be getting gas all the time) it gets poor fuel economy, like 7km/l. That sucks, for all you colonials that is about 18 miles per gallon.
It is the right thing to do, buying a car that was made in my Province, Ohio, city Toledo.
I would not buy another of these damn things if I could afford anything else right now. There is no storage space unless you unlatch the back seat and fold it up. The stereo sucks as you can't control the volume for crap but it does have this joystick balance thing that is pretty cool. The shift on the fly part time 4 wheel drive is ok, my Cherokee had that too. My Jeep only has 15 inch tyres so I feel like I am riding a damn unicycle. Another thing that sucks is that anybody can unlatch the hood and steal your battery. It would massively suck if you didn't live in a nice place like me and had to worry about street crime and theft.
Another thing about Jeeps is that when you buy them you get invited to a big Jeep party every year where all the Jeep owners get together to do obstacle courses and swap meet and hear C&W music. I thing it will be much more interesting now that the Wrangler has become a gay icon (Daimler spends all their time shutting down gay Jeep websites, this is for real). I just think it will redefine the swap meet when the whole family shows up.
> I might feel better about my Jeep in the Summertime when I go to the beach and have the top off and the girl from the gas station goes with me. A jeep is also cool because it is easy to pitch all the contraband if the cops pull you over.
