My wife and I have spent some quality time watching our baby girl crawl around the living room while we race Mario karts on the Wii(when will they make a Jeep game?).One morning on her way to work in the 4dr JK(11000 mi)she checked the review for tailgaters,looked back at the road just in time to see a 100lb deer jump right in front of her.What would you do? panic? hit the brakes?cover your eyes?Well on 2 lane 55mph road with traffic behind her she just hit the gas harder and held the wheel steady,drove over it and pulled over to call me. 2 little dents in the plastic bumper and the fog lights knocked out but not broken and a couple nice stakes in the freezer,she didn't even cross the yellow line! I LOVE OUR JEEP!!!!Well at least I got a nice mopar winch bumper now.

May sound crazy but I have played Grand Turismo for years and while driving my cars I use alot of the techniques I learned while passing driving tests. Mainly cornering but I think a simulator may actually work. Hey the millitary uses them.  


That must be the engine gremlin I've heard so much about

yeah, what about the escuda, ya don't even have to steer it, just hold down the gas, the darn thing is so fast it can beat everything bouncing off the walls....

well, then again, like ya say the drive tests definately give ya a few pointers..
