" slow down and enjoy the drive in your new JK. Think of it as quality time. "

that, in anutshell, is one of the main reasons i bought a Jeep, and not the mustang. IT is also why i drive a dirtbike, and not a sportbike. I tend to drive to fast, and things where moving by to fast (life)

I ditched the Ninja & Interceptor. Tossed the idea of the sportscar. Got rid of the high stress job, got one i like. Then purchased the bike & Wrangler i wanted & tried to slow everything down. It made me a much happier curmudgeon. I am not going all Zen or other such bullhockey on anyone, but for me, I needed it and it worked. That is why when i see someone ask about going 90+ in their new Jeep i just shake my head. I dont think they are really getting it. To me the Jeep was part of a huge lifestyle change & I didnt get the Jeep to go 90, i got it so i DONT go 90.
