Chrysler caves, recalls 2.7 million Jeeps (http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/06/18/chrysler-changes-mind-recalls-jeeps-government-sought/2434955/)

my Jeep looks just like the one in the pic in the article except mine is a different shade of red

Glad to hear it. When you retire from shoplifting you should try armed robbery or perhaps train robbery. At least with the latter you get to steal something with the added fun of jumping off a train. A natural progression and combination of the two. Don't take that too seriously please :)

Would you get to run along the top of the train while it's moving? Perhaps with someone else chasing you who then doesn't see the tunnel approaching?

And the last thing that came to your mind - quite literally - would be the pursuer followed by the tunnel.... :)

I've got several of those. It's rare you see anything other than these types of cars on Britain's roads. Much like you'd never see a European car like a BMW in the States. I bet you guys don't even know what an Audi is.

North American Jettas* are built in Puebla, Mexico.

*I feel as thought the plural of Jetta should be Jettae.

I thought cars in USA were actually steam powered, and burning dollar bills were used as the heat source.

Or is it just large capacity petrol cars still, with a fuel tank just big enough to get from one garage to the next?

:laugh:

Like Schmenke, I've also owned two Jeeps, a '98 Cherokee which I later traded for an '05 Grand Cherokee. Both were great vehicles. Now I own a POS Ford Explorer Sport.
