Would a Jag-U-ar count with Ford owning it and a Ford now back at the helm? Actually, I am distressed over the passing of the Jeep Cherokee. Now there's a real American. Practical. Decent gas mileage for a SUV, you could get it with a stick shift, take it on the Rubicon trail and it was a real pocket rocket with the straight 6. The Liberty replacement looks like just another Escape/Rav4 wanna bee. Actually, a Jeep XJ fits the bill just fine for an occasional wind-in-your hair fun ride and is no more impractical than the exotics. And I'd have $$$$ left over for a gasp, van. So, Ed, take some deep breaths into a paper bag. Talking about car faves is apparently as dangerous as talking about politics here, so in the spirit of the new kinder, gentler me, I will antagonize you on the subject no longer. Jim

Gottfried, Gottfried, how could you? The Z3 is a BMW, made in North Carolina, I believe. You know where Dabum is from (by the way if I recall he told JimP that since he was married now, his new wife should be considered "one of the family"--I think he meant that figuratively.) Unfortunately my wife looked over my shoulder, read your post, and said "Why do you torture yourself?" That reminded me that I should pave the way for this new purchase. I have been doing a lot of thinking on this. I think I might buy her a new wheelbarrow and a good shovel. It purely torments me to see her laboring around with that heavy old wheelbarrow in the hot sun. Then too, she's not all that considerate about those painful groans, I can sometimes hear her over the soft hum of that big ole ceiling fan I love so much. I don't really mind the sound but it reminds me that who knows how long she can hold up? It would be selfish of me to just think of myself and I am certainly not that kind of guy. Ed the unselfish.
