I rented a Volvo s60 during my recent trip to Texas. It was the touchiest brakes I have ever experienced. I swear it was less then a 1/4" of travel from nothing to full on. Crazy. I got in my own car and I felt the brakes were broken. The transmission was also the worst I have ever experienced. Took a solid 3 seconds to downshift when passing on the highway.

However, the inside was a nice place to be, the AC was cold and only cost me $200 for the week so it wasn't all bad.

They are frightfully underpowered. Extremely safe. Good looking. I really love my old Grand Cherokee. It is a V-8, moves like a scalded dog. 4x4, to get me through the random pesky river, a badass rumble and will turn on a dime, so tight spots are slicker than grease.

We have a 1997 lx450 Aka landcruiser at home. That fills the 4x4 needs. It goes anywhere. It's got 250,000 miles but just keeps on going. Just finished my annual project. This year it was replacing all the vacuum lines and rubber hoses under the hood. It's the family truckster and does a great job. Just don't look at the gas gauge.

So badass!

Thanks for the Zap. That is my first one. I will pay it forward. I updated my address to be able to customize it. Alby seems to work better in the client I'm using.

Picture?

I saved it to my album because it was so touching. So, this is lifted from Forrest, not my pic.

Sorry I meant the jeep. yes very touching.

Beg pardon! Answer me this, Willys Jeep, pronounced (as I do), Willis, or as I hear some call it Willies?

The picture I was asking for was of the jeep grand Cherokee you mentioned in your reply. Definitely willies. That is how I have always heard it pronounced.

Only a little picture of the front in this video (we are moving our beekeeping container off this property, onto another). https://nostr.build/av/a774ffb932aedc0125607ced36f32573365ab2b32d2d6b3066c8500426874475.mov

Woah that is a huge beekeeping container. Your operation is no joke.

Thank you! We are considered hobbyists. We have 100-120 hives. When we finish extracting, we have to store the empty supers in this, to prevent wax moths from decimating the beeswax/honeycomb frames.

I think is a 2004. WJ wasn't a bad version of the grand Cherokee.

Finna get a new/used one and may go Willys. Love the ones from the war.

I will get a pic later and post.
