Fair call. I’ve just got a theory it’ll feel more like a normal sedan, which means you might get performance quality handling out of a crossover that way. 

Where’d the center of gravity feel like it was, compared to a normal car / a normal SUV? 

I really wonder bout electric crossovers/suv and their low center of gravity.

Oh, there’s no doubt it was - and it looks like it got gotten front and rear - the missing Jeep on the rear hatch is a dead giveaway.

That missing Jeep, or, as I mentioned yesterday, seeing a ‘JeeP’ logon on the back hatch says there’s been rear end damage. On the other hand, if the frame’s been straightened, the thing rides okay, it’s an XJ, it can take it.

Hail the Red Pig and Blower Bentley. (James Bond’s _real_ car.)

Very good plan, sir. One bit of advice I learned the hard way on that generation: Do not by any Jeep with the rear letters set to ‘JeeP.’ It means someone rammed it and it was repaired poorly. I’ve seen a surprising amount of those around.

I would seriously suggest that, if you were to get the idea of getting one solid Reliable Car, it be a ZJ. With the towing package for the oil cooler, yeah.

Oh god no. You’d just bend the frame into a spiral.

Good point and good eye. I was thinking about what else he might need to handle to do this. What’s the steering ratio like on this thing?

Believe in the heart of the cars, man. You can do this.

Respect and darn right. Ironhide package is a surprisingly good package if you ignore the pretty bits, but the pretty bits _are_ nice. 

If you have a need for the tasks this truck can accomplish, this is a REALLY good price.

Twice a week, in summer, four times in winter, with an outside temperature around ten or twenty degrees below freezing. (depending on your scale of choice)

I miss my Impulse and its crazy eyebrows. Blew the turbo and that was the end of it. 

Sadly, no - mine went away many years ago, but I still miss it. It looks pretty similar, though.

I saw the first ones at the New York International Auto Show.

That’d be a GREAT challenge. If he’d feel like shifting slightly, I bet David’s skills would make a perfect Class 11 racer.

Thank goodness. I’m no welder, but I can verify the exact same style of experience with a soldering iron. Getting a _good_ one changed everything.

The welds will outlast the rest of the vehicle and are three times as strong as it is.
