i'd love to have another jeep, but can't afford one, but their prices have skyrocketed. just like the old cj5. they are as much as a new kingcab truck now.

5 most overpriced? I can only come up with four of them myself; cars, trucks, SUV's and vans...what is the 5th?
well Fido, I had to get that big engine cause if I ever get rich, I need to have a truck that has more horsepower than the bass boat I would get. Ever notice how many young guys drive to the lake with a bass boat that has my HP than the truck that is pulling it to the lake?! getting scary out there!

Its always nice to drive down the highway behind a bass boat and then relize that it is being pulled by an s-10. Makes ya want to pass em real quick.

yeah? it's not the pulling the bassboat that is the real problem with the S-10, it's the stopping it! Better hope they have trailer brakes and that they work very well!
and..I cannot tell you how many times I've had someone pull out in front of me when I'm pulling my boat because they must think I can't do the speed limit and they think if they don't, they'll get stuck behind me. That is dbl of a concern if it's raining. I can only imagine how truckers hate that!

especially when they are parked at the repair garage cause we all know what FORD stands for FLIP OVER REPAIR DAILY or FOUND ON ROAD DEAD
Our Ford will be retiring soon and a Chevy will be replacing it
