Yes you do. That is why I'm turning my XJ in to buy a new economical car for my wife. She doesn't like her Liberty anymore and my son is scared to drive it because it sits high and the steering is really tight. We'll get something new for my wife to drive and my son to learn to drive with and I'll spend some cash and buy myself a newer gas guzzling 4x4. We'll end up buying 2 vehicles in a weekend.

some companies are matching the cash for clunkers program.  I hear you can get a kia for under $5K after rebates.  Should be farily easy to come up w/ the cash for that

I just went to their website, but I don't see anything about them matching. Jan and Stuart are heading out to Jackson Road in Ann Arbor that has every vehicle dealership imaginable right in a row so I told them to stop into the Kia dealership to check it out. I love the Kia Soul commercials and I just looked at pics of the interior of one and it is really cool. I think I could even drive one.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

If we end up doing this really quick I may end up bringing the Liberty out here for a little while until I find exactly what I want. I haven't looked that much at aftermarket wheeling accessories for it, but if it's out there I may just build it. I really would like to stay with straight axle front though.

They made some changes to the EPA MPG numbers and some vehicles that were right on the edge ended up being disqualified for the program. I knew about that and the MPG for my XJ actually dropped from 17 to 16mpg average from the new numbers.
