    What I don’t understand about all of this is how did the driver of the RV not notice the drag which must have occurred. Seriously, what kind of RV has the power to, basically, drag this Jeep that fast? 

    This is relatively minor, but every since I totaled my PU truck, I find myself bracing my left foot hard on the footrest. 

    NP, but I wouldn’t buy it because, automatic.

    There is only one answer here, Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Hemi engine. I drove one across country a couple of years ago, and I have never been so comfortable at speed in a car. I liked it so much that I bought one for myself last year. Drove it from Baltimore to Florida, stopping only for fuel, and felt pretty great

    No one is looking at the “elephant in the room” that the EV’s present. When they become more prevalent, there is no way that the Federal and State governments are not going to figure out some way to charge road use tax. It’s just got to happen, and when it does, all of those people screaming about how cheap it is to

    Just like today, there were styling cues “borrowed” from other brands. The ‘55 and ‘56 Fords really didn’t look that different from the GM offerings. But, T Birds definitely had the “square” look all of the way through the mid 60's, when they ruined them with a four door. 

    Am I the only one in the world who thinks the front end of these cars took their styling from the first gen Corvette? I remember the first gen T Birds, and these things did not look like them in any way, shape or form. At least when they “retroed” the Mustang, it LOOKED like the original Mustang.

    Some time ago, for the first time in 30 years, I got rid of my pick up truck (well, to be fair, an Escalade cut me off and the PU truck was totaled). I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee (can you still call it that?), but soon found out that I really still need a PU truck for the occasional trip to the dump and Home Depot.

    Seriously, is anyone really, really surprised by this? DC is back to politics as usual. Yawn.

    For many years, I have had a small truck in the driveway which came in very handy in numerous ways. Two years ago, my ‘91 S10 was totaled in an accident, and I went out a bought a Grand Cherokee Hemi. That gets half the mileage of the S10, and is totally impractical for a 72 year old widower. But I love it.

    You got lucky. Some years ago I bought brand new a GE refrigerator and a front loading Washer and Dryer set. A friend of mine was a GE repairman, so I figured “what the hell?”

    I had a 1980 MGB that I had painted John Deere green with spray cans from Tractor Supply. I was pretty famous in my club because I would drive that car from Florida to Maryland and Rhode Island without a qualm. Did I break down? Sure. But I met a lot of nice people on the way who were happy to help me out, and I

    I see old Aztek’s running around down here in Florida, most looking pretty well preserved, and they don’t seem so out of place any more. I have always thought that they got a bad rap.

    Okay, people. I am surprised at the ND statistics. This is a really nice looking car, and I would be proud to have it in my driveway alongside my RX7 FC Convertible and my TR8.

    I have seen way worse cars being trailered around the country. Yes, the task is almost overwhelming, but with tenacity and $$$$$ it can bee done, although I, personally, object to the conversion to EV. This vehicle should be brought back to it’s original glory.

    Thanks, Buddy! That’s a real compliment from someone who call themselves Poop!

    Not really on topic, but recently I saw one of these running around Florida with Alaska tags. Who the hell buys one of these things in Alaska?

    As soon as I read that you were getting quotes and viewpoints from the New York Times, I stopped reading your article. 

    The “No Dice “ remark sums this up nicely. Definitely “A” for effort. This looks to be a nicely done project, and is probably a pretty fun little car to drive. Unfortunately, it is way over priced for what it is. Drop it down under 20 grand, and it might be more palatable.
