Throwing in the towel!!!

Well as of today i have some bad news to report on my behalf, I have decided to throw in the towel before this Car Kills Me, I've had it several times above the 130 MPH mark and decided i need to do something about it before it gets me. I traded the 2017 I4 in on a Sahara, The only thing i'm disappointing in is the amount of money that all 3 dealerships were giving me, the car new was $31.5k and the trade in value was only 19k it has nearly lost half its value in 1.5 years.

A little self control and you wouldn't have to lose anything. Find a local track to satisfy your need for speed and keep the car.

I commuted in a wrangler for almost 10 years and all the speed in the world couldn't keep me from getting it back if I could piece all the rust back into fresh metal. You're going to love the new ride and don't worry! You'll find all new ways to get into trouble. lol

Well 70mph will feel like 130mph in a Jeep, so maybe you'll be able to kill two birds with one stone. Lol

I remember the first time I drove over a parking curb (intentionally) to get from one lot to another - my young daughter in the back said "ahhhh so that's why we have a jeep"

I'm with you. Seriously? It's called self control, and even further, self preservation. My advice is that the OP never buy a gun. If you can't trust yourself with 220whp, maybe you should be looking into a bus pass or something made by Playskool...
