What Are You Driving ??

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

After 253,592 miles the transmission in my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee decided it had had enough. I really don't think it owes me anything though.

Wow, that's pretty impressive!

A Ben Hogan CS-3 10.5 degree biggee with a regular flex shaft! Around 230 meters!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Wow, that's pretty impressive!

Thanks, I was hoping to see 300,000 out of it. Oh well. I hope to get it back to the shop tomorrow.

Hopefully I will get my Jeep back tomorrow. If I can get to work. Icy roads and a two wheel drive diesel one ton don't go together very well.

I can't remember if I posted this.

2 kids and 126 mile round trip commute daily, well I stuck with economy.

My oldest daughter says "it's fluffy."

Hey, what ever works.

On the bright side, you can load it up in your tool box when you fly.

I have a 100 round trip mile commute daily myself, and I'm sure I'd envy your gas mileage.

I had 200,000 on mine, when the transmission finally gave out on her. I decided not to replace it though, and just get a new one. You getting yours fixed?

I know a lot of people complain about Jeeps, but I love mine. I am a straight up Jeep man.

Between 35 - 38 mpg.

I got it back today from the shop. The shop owner told me he would do better than the factory. He backed it with a warranty and told me if I had any problems just to bring it back so I can't complain about that. And I don't want to get rid of it.

Good God, man...that thing would fit in the glovebox of my Scion!

You know it is a Scion...

 

[GrauGeist]

Well, I had no idea that was a Scion, Joe...but now that you mention it, I can see the Scion emblems on the rims

I thought that Scion pretty much made one type of car, the tC coupe. I know they make that X series toaster shaped thing, too...

Here's my Scion at Hayfork Summit back in early November.

I would not want to get rid of it either. The 1993 to 1998 Grand Cherokees were amazing. I cried almost when my 1995 finally died. After long debate I decided it was just finally time to get a new one.

Here is a nice pic of my Grand Cherokee in the snow at night. Not an off road pic, but still just nice covered in snow. I guess I am just a Jeep man!

My boss has a 96' Grand Cherokee Laredo and a 08' SRT8. The latter is not an off roader at all but son, will it haul the mail. I rarely have any serious problems with mine and the fact that it will go anywhere I want to go makes me want to keep it.

Very cool!

Mine is an XA - they only made them for a few years. The XD replaced it.

I'm sorry, its called the c-x75. The thing goes up over 200 MPH but again the range kills. They did add something I never saw before. Two turbo motors to recharge the battery to extend its range. Those are the turbo motors you see when looking through the back window.

I have this car.

The SRT8 is great, but it really is a sports Jeep if you wan't to call it. It just a luxury family car in my opinion. I have no desire to pay the gas for it. That is why I went with a Laredo on this one. I go the leather interior and all the nice things to go with it, but have a V6 instead of an 8 or the 10 that comes with the SRT8.

Much better on the gas...
