The only reason I don't have at least one anymore is that they aren't flashy enough, although I'm thinking of getting a DD I may may get another patriot. My mother, who actually has a rendezvous now and had a lexus SUV before that wants to replace her rendezvous with a compass or patriot because she really liked it when she used mine... with disreguard to the price (the pat starts in the 14s... about 1/2 the price of the other cars she'd look at) You'd be thoroughly impressed, and the only reason most people would write them off is because they "are a jeep".

Thanks for the advice, but I'll never give another penny to Chrysler again as long as I live. They screwed us over big time on a brand new car (LeBaron) for which they would not honor the warranty. It was the worst car we've ever owned and they wouldn't do the right thing by paying to fix it in the first 2 years we owned it. We traded it in on a Honda and never looked back.

Had my car at Cincy Speed yesterday, looks like I very well may have a rear main leak. 6000 miles. Goes to the dealer Tuesday.

Congrats on the purchase Jason! With your commute, I can totally understand the Civic. I think I'm putting the ZL1 dream to bed, and getting a new daily driver in the spring or summer. Not sure what I'll get. Probably an Equinox LTZ but wouldn't rule out a few other crossovers or trucks.

And Iceman... Our civic was built in Indiana.

Nice purchase Jr. Hope you don't spend all you savings on modding it, buy that Whipple for the SS instead.

Bummer, but I guess it's a known issue. Dealer should take care of you.

Got my car back from McCluskey Chevrolet's body shop.

really regretting the decision to take it there. The guys there were VERY nice, Best SERVICE I've gotten anywhere, but I have visible paint drips AND pretty poor color match (although I like the color the painted my fender more than I like the original color... its more orange, like bumblebee from the movie.

Turnaround time was pretty good too.

I guess you live and you learn! I do advise anyone that needs paint work to look elsewhere though!

I'd be a bit more upset except I'm past getting upset with my dagone car.... Can't wait till Jan 1st! Thats when my dealer said I can order the ZL1!!!

Yeah Amigo. McCluskey sales is awesome. Body shop ... Not so much. Should have asked first! Lol. I HAD to have them fix my car since it was warranty... Never again.

Anyone going to the Beavercreek Cruise-in Friday?

If I can get this all set up, you'll get to see a super awesome 2011 Caprice 9C3 a guy bought from a dealer through a loophole.
