***NOT A SUPERBOWL POST***

02.01.04 (8:34 pm) [edit]

I thought I might add a random comment about the SuperBowl, but considering how many postings there are about it in the "recent posts" column, I am going to decline.

On another note, I've been half-heartedly spending the day looking for another car. Actually, not a car, but a Jeep. I've never had anything remotely truck-like before (except for a friend's Isuzu P'up Diesel that I used to drive a lot in college), so this is an interesting new field for me. I'm used to looking for a car with precise turn-in, crisp handling, solid breaking, and capable acceleration. Usually I won't buy anything that I wouldn't be able to take autocrossing. But now I just want a solid, somewhat roomy but not gargantuan SUV with some balls. And something fairly reliable. And perhaps not prone to flipping over. :shock:

My solution: an old 4.0L Jeep Cherokee. I'm looking for something '88-up, but it seems really hard to find one in decent shape that is not lifted sky-high and full of off-road goodies. I [i]might[/i] modify my truck once I get it, but I don't want to buy someone else's personal expression. Kind of defeats the purpose, you know?

The search continues...4.0L inline 6, 150k miles or so, not red in color (due to the high cop awareness factor), hopefully manual transmission...and hopefully around $5000. We'll see what I can find in the next month or so.

heh, I've always wanted to get a jeep. I like them :) And I agree, i would rather get one and modify it myself than have one that someone else built up.

Hey Casey, thanks to your Tblog's content-driven calendar advertisements, you be able to find the Jeep you're looking for! Check it out, right now there are four website links claiming that you indeed CAN find a good "used Jeep in your area"!

Goodness. You're absolutely right! That's rather frightening!

Wait......I knew that name looked familiar! Philip Trapp? Didn't you just submit a demo tape to Blake? Thanks for dropping by my blog! Tennesseeans love to hear from the folks out west.

You are correct, sir! That would be me. Tennessee seems like a nice place. I have some family out there, but I've never actually spent any time there.
