I'm down to two cars, the Wrangler, and my 1996 Triumph Speed Triple 900. I may yet add another car to the mix.

I’ve never been a big fan of sunroofs, and I avoid them whenever possible. On another board an owner said he liked the roof because in the rain it sounded like being in a tent. Different strokes I guess…

The dealer called today and advised that the Wrangler was ready. Dropping off their loaner and picking my Jeep up took less than ten minutes. A good dealer makes a huge difference.

I installed an AEV/Bilstein steering damper on my 2021 JLU. I really like it.

I’ve had at least one BMW in the garage going back to 1983. When I owned my F22 M235i my service advisor almost always gave me an M340i for a loaner. It’s a very nice car but I was put off by the newer model’s digital touchscreen display and the fact that -for me, anyway- I didn’t find it as...

Last October my wife and I took our 1995 318ti Club Sport on the BMW Classic Car Club’s 20th Anniversary Tour. No I ran Shell 93 (V-Power NITRO+) exclusively except for one fill up of QT 93 (also a Top Tier fuel). Over 1367 miles it averaged @28 mpg. On the interstate driving to and from SC/NC...

As I said, I haven’t lost any sleep over it.

I believe the Stellantis document states that the process takes .3 hours. The recalls haven't bothered me, but then my dealer has an excellent service department.

As some of you probably know, the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe are subject to a recall (68C) involving possible defects in the Samsung hybrid battery. Jeep has extended the warranty on the battery so I’m not losing any sleep over it but the recall determines if the battery requires...

I feel exactly the same way about my C43; it satisfies my needs/wants perfectly.

I’ll take this one instead, thanks.

I need an SUV with true off road capability due to where I live. Aside from that I only want coupes, sedans or wagons.
