    Jeep Cherokee Love?

    When that platform came out it was really OK..created a niche. People liked the size and you sat a little higher giving someone transitioning from owning a small sedan to something a little more utilitarian without going fullsize. If you wanted comfort you drove a big GM car. Off-roading was...

    Investment Riches on Subprime Auto Loans to Poor

    There are so many things i could say from BOTH sides of this topic. But here's my two cents. Help in an emergency,fine get the foodstamps. Living off it,just because one can,but doesn't need to.Not ethical.Not good for the Soul. Give a fish vs. teach fishing.

    sludge under valve cover pics and solvent testing

    I'll take a couple of oci to get this cleaned up,at least partially even.15 min just isn't the way otc engine cleaners work. I wouldn't be disappointed.What would be interesting is using a syn such as ppu or qsud,M1 or similar over 3 oci's,pull the VC again and compare pics then/now.
