I have been looking around to see if there is anything that I like to purchase next year when my lease is up on my focus. I keep saying I will just buy the focus and make it a nice reliable DD. Well I love the concept of the trailblazer SS. Big power, room for 5, awd. On lunch today what parks next to me. A damn SRT 8 jeep. brand new. guy went to SC and picked it up. what happened when ford was battling everyone with performace cars and trucks?? Saleen explorer and crap. Why cant ford make a Explorer GT or something to battle these trucks?? If i see another got damn version of the new s197 stang I am gonna cut someone. Had to vent. Really not trying to cross over to another brand seeing that my dad is a ford retiree and we get a discount. Dunno what to do next. Look for a Poll soon to help me out ---

the explorer is a 4.6 in teh V8 version so in theory you could use most of the mustang crap on it to make it faster. We were discussing this today actually. why don’t the explorer’s have the cobra driveline? all the shit should fit + it would make it alot of fun. subaru forester + mods FTW ---

a black srt8 jeep drove by me through an intersection today in the opposite direction…one of the nastiest (in a good way) sounding cars i’ve ever heard…ever…got chills from it… sounded like a huge speed boat…i would totally rock on, but i’d probably be scared shitless to feel that kind of accelleration in that type of vehicle…i would never feel safe going that fast in any SUV… ---
