Wish I had a manual transmission. Didn't realize how much I would miss stick shift. Other than that, it's the car I have wanted since childhood

I have had a FJ40 since 1978 and enjoy riding in the Sierras with my wife very much. I just purchased a new 2-door Rubi and am very pleased with the vehicle. We look forward to using it for many years to come.

Now I need to sell the FJ as I perfer the Jeep.

I feel the same way, I thought that I would hate have a manual have driven one for past 18 years decided to lazy, what a mistake I no longer feel in control of the vehicle and can't believe how much I miss it.

Love it. Wanted one since 2007 when I test drove one. Took me a while but I got it
Picked it up 9/30/11 got 5k miles and other than gas mileage (i wasn't expecting much) no complaints.

Am I REALLY happy?

Absolutely!

I haven't felt this good about my ride in years! I have always wanted a Jeep, and I finally got one . . . exactly the model and color I wanted with all the options I wanted.


I had a number of other cars before: three Fords, three Nissans, a Chevy, even a British Leyland (MG Midget) . . . two of them were compact pickups, one of which was a 4x4, but most were smaller sports cars.


I can't say it enough . . . I love my Jeep!


I can't wait until the weather warms up and I can take off my roof panels . . .



(so, umm . . . can a guy marry his Jeep? . . . *ahem* . . . I could go on and on, but it might get embarrassing)





All best, and thanks,
Joe

You took the words right out of my mouth. In fact my wife is actually a bit jealous of my rig. She said why don't you gaze at me like that? I said it's because you don't flawlessly perform every time on command like it does. Wasn't received well and did not enhance her performance that night LOL.

Yep . . . that about sums it up for me as well!

('cept I don't have a wife to ask me to go on an errand . . . that's why I thought that if I married my Jeep, she might want to go out again for something when we got home *lol*)


I really DO feel like a kid again! . . . I also can't get enough of that Sirius radio! . . .


I love "The Boneyard" . . .



All best, and getting ready for another ride
