I’ve never been much of a “Chevy Guy” – The only GM vehicle I’ve ever owned was a 1989 two door s10 Blazer, a small SUV from the dawning era of SUVs! It was a good little truck, but I haven’t given Chevy much of a thought since then. But now, I can’t decide if I’m actually in love with this new outdoor enthusiast’s dream truck… or if Chevy simply hired a really good marketing team for the reintroduction of the Colorado.

I’m a fan of new Jeep colors. Spotted this 2014 Freedom Edition while having the Patriot serviced. Continue reading
With Mango Tango now slated for Cherokee – Wrangler was without a dark burnt orange. Thankfully, Copperhead is here! Continue reading
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 28,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 10 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

The Wrangler has had quite the array of special editions throughout its 27 model years. Jeep has just announced the third special edition Wrangler for the 2014 model year. The “Willys Wheeler” is the least gimmicky of the trio, and pays homage to The Wrangler’s roots – The Willys Jeep. Continue reading
This is the first Wrangler color that I can think of that’s name has an apostrophe. Being a huge fan or funky colored Jeeps – I really like Amp’d. It is also an orange that most people could live with. Not quite as bold as Dozer… Amp’d is closer to Mango Tango with a hint of gold. Continue reading
Today is my thirtieth birthday – a day that I’ve spent most of my adult life dreading. The closer today got, the less comfortable I became with the idea of my age starting with a “3” again. It hasn’t done that for 27 years, and frankly, I don’t remember being three. Even though I’ve done quite a few awesome things in my life, I found myself concentrating on all of the things that I haven’t done. I decided to not let thirty get me down any longer – because like most things – thirty is what I make of it.
Jeep has been making big moves with the available factory options for the Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited. For 2013 Jeep released the 10th Anniversary Rubicon Model; adding winch bumpers, extra ground clearance, and 32 inch BFG KM2 mud terrain tires. For 2014, Jeep has taken those special add-ons and created the Wrangler Rubicon X model. Continue reading
A few weeks ago I noticed a package on my front steps. I couldn’t remember ordering anything, and didn’t recognize the return address. Not thinking that I had any enemies… At least non who know how to make anthrax…I opened it.
I peeled the tape back and pulled a slightly used Rickie Lee Jones vinyl out of the package. There was a note taped to it, with a signature that I could neither recognize nor read. I racked my brain, started thinking of old friends from the music business that may have found this record and for some reason thought to send it to me. Nothing was adding up. Especially the United States Senate stationary.
The all new Jeep Cherokee has had a rough start, and it hasn’t even hit dealer lots yet. Starting with leaked photos, that were quickly denied by Chrysler as being the new Cherokee, then un-denied with a “hey just kidding, that is the new Cherokee” statement; the 2014 Jeep Cherokee was officially introduced at the New York Auto show in March to mixed reviews. Mike Manley stood on stage as the Trail Hawk version of the new Jeep drove over a mocked rock trail showcasing the Liberty replacement’s off road ability; confirming its “real Jeep” status. Despite Manley’s claim that the Trail Hawk has already conquered “Hell’s Revenge” in Moab; many enthusiast are still doubting its actual capability, and the choice of the name “Cherokee.” With delays keeping Trail Hawk Cherokees out of enthusiast reach while the vehicle’s right to bear its name is being questioned; why on Earth would you leak that a tricked out street rated SRT version was in the works?
