I heard the new jeep was going to get up cook breakfast in the morning, clean the house and do the grocery shopping. There's even a chance of it being able to mow the yard on Wednesdays....yes, I said Wednesday. Within it's first week on the market it's also supposed to solve the Libyan crisis, end world hunger and possibly lower oil prices down to .50 cents a barrell. Unconfirmed reports have the new jeep enlisting in the Marines, being outfitted as a secret weapon and voting republican.

All this is unconfirmed, but I'm trading up.

I heard from my barber that the 2013 were going to run on dilythium crystals and come with a virtual engineer named Scotty.

Sounds like a plan...hopefully this will pull the hemi price down to earth a little bit, or maybe a 3.6 conversion if the 3.6 lives up to the hype. For now the 3.8 gets me up to and in fact is capable of exceeding the speed limit. If you want a sports car...why buy a Jeep? I like plugging down the highway at my own speed, never yet been passed by a smart car (how are the smart cars doing in the US these days.....) maybe not so smart

If you were running 3.21's, a Hemi would not have helped you. I have an 07 running 33's and 4.88 gears, and I have too much torque and low end power. I am moving to 35's to offset the lower gearing.

If you put 3.21 gears in a Pentagram (star) JK, you probably will have the same bad performance. I love my '07 and it is plenty quick with the proper gearing.

I didn't think my drunken rambling post would get so many comments.
