Well then! While you're pushin almost 200hp in that 4.0L Jeep, my 2.0L motor's putting out like 300hp!

Actually, when that Jeep dies, take a look at the new Forester XT... it's about the same size as the Jeep, but it's faster than a WRX... 2.5L Turbo!

Oh, and it's really ugly too!
Never! Jeep until I die! Hehe... well, that WRX may have 100 more hp, but that 4.0L engine means I can crawl up like a 40 degree slope over rocks at 5 mph and have plenty of torque at those low RPMs. Cause I really have need of that often...

Oh and BTW the Jeep is being resurrected as we speak so we can sell Laura's car and she can drive the Jeep for school... I've already fixed the sticking throttle, replaced the rear liftgate gas springs, replaced the front brakes, new shocks all around... now it needs the rear brakes replaced & the steering column repaired this week... The beast slowly comes back to life... 160,000+ miles and counting.

And forget the Forester... when we finally get rid of this old Jeep we're probably gonna get a Grand Cherokee with a V8 so we can trailer the Mustang to auto-x events.
