Just thought I'd let you know it's on right now.

Green with hard top; red with no top.

I caught it on the recorder machine. A pretty crappy show if you expected a
real road test, but it was nice to see the footage of the rigs anyway.

That red one is exactly what I have on order. The program just makes
me even more eager to get my new rig.

I'm on the fence about ordering one. I really like the looks of the Rubicon in Jeep green... I just need to come to terms with trading my F-150 daily/tow rig. I can't everything...

I saw that one too. I didn't care for the car to car interview. Seemed more or less like an infomercial. But they did do some real wheeling with it.

By crappy do you mean they didn't mention any of the weak points of the vehicle?
And why a singer song writer for the other vehicle?

I will say they took it through terrain that looks similar to the H2 busting the front end video on you tube.:yup:

By crappy, I mean they didn't really test test the rig; 0-60 times, comment
about the power on the highway (maybe towing), show how easy (or hard)
the top goes up and down, comment on how much buffeting there is on the
highway with the top down, show how slow will it crawl, etc.

As you said, it was kind of like an infomercial.

I am probably going to watch it again tonight so I can see what my new
car will be like when I get it :)

I must have saw a different one. I thought it was speedweek. They did go offroad on the one I saw. It was as much as I expected from a show with speed in the title. Usually magazines based on autos ahve nothing nice to say about the wrangler.
