I should have elaborated, I meant the Wrangler X. Check out the pics.
Nice! Now that looks like a fun car to drive - when did you get that?

A rather subdued Ben has popped up over on Renntech . . .

He lasted here way longer than I liked or would have expected.

I was impressed that 6speed got rid of him relatively quickly - I think that was probably only around 6 months for them to give him his matching orders.

The cabin is noisy, the ride is bouncy, options are sparse, the gas mileage is horrible and it handles terrible..other than that it's a GREAT CAR!!

No seriously, it's really cool and will be FUN in the summer to drop the top. ...and BRING ON THE SNOW!!!

Got it around 3 weeks ago. I needed a winter car. It's a 2004 with only 33k miles. It's on a 3.5 inch Superlift and great wheels/tires package and a bunch of other aftermarket body sht.

It's awesome when I go from one car to the other. Either way it's such a contrast, it makes you enjoy the other.I LOVE IT!!

They do not play the same on Renntech. Loren will ban him in a second for trash talking. It's a technical help site and very subdued by comparison.

I said it many times. You need to treat people a little nicer. Act as if you're in a conversation with acquaintances at a party. Cause that's what we are, really - acquaintances at a gathering of sorts in someone "else's" house.

If you're the guy at the party that always offends, even under the guise of being brutally honest, you're not gonna be welcome for too long. People like that get real old, real fast. Ben was that guy.

This is Rennlist's party and we're guests. Treat others with respect and dignity and on top of all things, be NICE and thoughtful - otherwise, this may not be the party for you!!

Cool!

A friend had one similar, made similar comments and loved it. I rode in it a few times and it was a lot of fun.

Not sure I could handle owning one (I'm not a soft-top kinda guy as I hate hot weather and sun), but it's a great car to play with.

Enjoy!

yeah, it's not the kind of place I would think of hanging out... I go there for tech. info, but not to hang out. Oh well, when you've been banished I guess it limits your choices.

It's Schotenfreud, a guilty pleasure of sorts.

Or maybe more like a train wreck, the more I try and look away, the more it seems my head peers back as if my neck is made of rubber, seemingly through no (conscious) fault of my own....

I actually read the wheels thread right after he posted and thought that he was heading for a ban over there as well. Anyone remember when he "turned a new leaf" and decided to be nice to everyone for 3 or 4 days?
